NEW Products

We have designed several new products to complement our training materials and promote the sport of soaring.


Sky Racer
the Sailplane Racing Board Game

Experience the fun and excitement of sailplane racing even if you are not a pilot.  In Sky Racer, you climb in "thermals", try to avoid "sink", and choose how fast to fly between thermals, all the while avoiding getting too low to glide to an airport.  The game can be played by up to four players.

A great way to share the sport of sailplane racing with your non-flying friends!

Glide Slope Ruler Template
with Takeoff Checklists

A glide slope ruler is a simple device for determining how much altitude you need to cover a given distance. The ruler is constructed to include a safety factor, and accounts for headwinds from 0 to 20 knots.

This plastic template can be used to create a customized glide slope ruler for your particular glider and desired safety factor. Instructions are included (excerpted from Chapter 15 of the Glider Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge) which cover the construction and use of the ruler. 

The reverse side of the ruler includes the takeoff checklist taught in the Flight Training Manual for Gliders, with extra room for writing in additional items specific to your glider.

Conversion Ruler

This little ruler has all kinds of useful information on it. It can be used to measure distances on a sectional in nautical miles, statute miles, or kilometers. To assist in deciphering weather information, it can be used to convert between °F and °C, pressure and altitude, zulu to standard time, and to predict the probability and strength of thunderstorms based on the K-index and the lifted-index. It also includes a chart to help determine wind speed from the trace of a handheld GPS, and a graph to convert indicated airspeed to true airspeed based on altitude.
