We have been off the Air for a while, because someone blew up our site!
The following is a story that relates to the sport of soaring in general. We the glider pilots depend on tow pilots to get us in the air. It is important that we all make sure that we do this very important portion of a flight safely. The other portion of a flight of course is landing, but for that we do not need a tow pilot. Joe Cool filed the following story. Flay save! Staff Reporter.

As announced in the previous article, the Arcade Cup 2009 is on. The rules are simple and basically follow the OLC guidelines. The objective is to show the world what a great concept the World Class is, and what great performance can be achieved with this glider.

Finally, here it is, the interview with Richard Kaleta, the spokes person for the Arcade Foundation. We will also find out if there is a 2009 Arcade Cup. Read on for this latest exciting development in the World Class...
