What's up?
« on: 02 February 2012, 05:13 »
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm new to this gliding thing.  Being a power pilot for many years, flying around without some sort of fan up front seems to me to be an un-natural act.  My powered plane is a 1946 Piper PA-12 -- very nice and not much faster than our gliders.  Owners of old Pipers are much like owners of old VW Beetles in that we are an opinionated and loquatious bunch.  A Piper Cub type-specific site I once belonged to went back ages in time and had almost a new post a minute during the time I was a member.  It was filled with a wealth of good information, many lies and BS stories and lots of people with a lot to say.  I'm not seeing that here.  Anybody have any idea why?  Besides being old and bald, I'm just chock full of opinions, ideas and questions, but if I post them, will anybody ever read them?

As a webmaster I read every post and yes it's dissapointing that this site is not so active. (although we get a lot of visitors). Any good ideas?
