Still gliding - conditions are not exactly brilliant, but have been enjoying my 15 minute floats around the airfield these past few weeks.

Trying out #mastodon. I do a lot of #packet #BBS on #hamradio Net105, and this seems similar in some ways. Living that RC #sailplane life out in #novascotia

Control and data cable-palooza.
Installing the central circuit board, to which all the control and data cables are connected, and routing cables forward to the nose.
Must keep things tidy, so it's time to also deal with left side of cockpit pneumatic tubes and coax cables...and get them all up into the pivoting instrument panel in an orderly fashion.

I want to help promote the sport of soaring (gliding) in the United States.
But when eNews for the upcoming convention deals with old fogey stuff...it's an uphill battle.
How do we engage younger people?

Building a carbon fiber HP-24 glider.
Installing thick motor power cables. Cables are properly connected to three phase motor in nose. Other end of cables will be connected to high amperage motor controller. First they need to be trimmed to length, then lugs crimped and soldered.
Motor controller will supply about 210 amps to motor at about 105 volts. (Main power fuse at battery terminal is 325 amps!)

Soaring - a sport that is like chess. Easy to learn, difficult to master.
Video link below is a good intro to some aspects of soaring, over amazing New Zealand terrain.
