GLIDING MADE EASY
Simple Device Eliminates Neces-
sity of Launching Crew.

One of the greatest drawbacks to the
adoption of gliding as private sport
has been the necessity for q fairly
large crew for shock cord launchings.
This difficulty has been overcome by a
simple apparatus which permits one
man in a car to do all the work of
launching.
The tail of the glider is fastened to a

A single shock cord is used, and Is

Installation of radio equipment in
the airmail planes of Eastern Air

pletion by the Department of Com
merce of radio range equipment on the
New -Atlanta-Miam airway pass

The first mail plane to be provided
with the complete radio installation
was flown to Boonton, N. j., where the
equipment is being installed at the
company's radio frequency laboratory
under direction of F. E GRAY. radio
engineer. The plane, which was fer
ried to the laboratory by Pilot Walter
j. Shaffer, also is equipped with the
Sperry artificial horizon, which assists
the pilot in keeping the plane in level
flight in the densest fog.
Service Tests To Be Made.
The first plane to be radio equipped
will be put in regular service and will
be used to acquaint each pilot on the
line with the combined operations of
the radio range beacons and the
Sperry horizon. After it has been put
through service tests under all condi-
tionS and the necessary changes and
celebrations are made, every mail plane
will be equipped with both radio and
artificial horizon.
When all the planes on the New
York-Atlenta section have been equip

use on the southern half of the line

STUDENTS
PUT IN BUSY WEEK
Six Members of District Fly
ing Club Go Up Alone
in One Day.

The past week has been one of the
busiest in the history of the District of
Columbia Air Legion, local private fly
ing club, including the soloing of six
students in one day and the flying of
more than II hours of instruction time
IN the single training plane on another
day.
A new record for airplane flying time
in single day since the Legion was
established, more than two years ago,
was piled up when the OX-5 Bird
training plane, the third ship the Le-
gion has owned, put in IL hours and 35
minutes in the air in dual and solo fly
ing time between dawn and sunset.
Twenty-three students flew periods of
a half-hour each.
Booked Ahead for Flights.
The plane is booked ahead for flights,
which are run off like a dentists sched-
ule, except, of course. that the victims"
contend that the sensation is much
more delightful. During the two months
since the Bird was purchased the little
plane has been in the air more than ITO
hours.
Flying time begins at sun-up on good
mornings, the early birds" turning out
at the Legion field, near Alexandria,
Va, at 4:30 am. to put in flying time
before reporting for work in Govern
ment offices or business houses in this
city.
The Legion soloed its third girl stu
dent during the week when Miss Har-
riett M. Sackett, an employe in the
State Department, who lives at 1880 L
street, took the training plane up alone
for the first time after 8 hours and Is
minutes of dual instruction. She showed
of at 430 am. one morning during
the week and made three very good
landings before her half hour was up.
Narrowly Escapes Crack-Up.
When she landed, Edward Dewey,
1850 Irving street, took off solo for the
first time, and after a narrow escape
from crack-up in the take-off, when
an extension pedal on the rudder bar
slipped out of place, made a good flight
and landing. Instructor William c.
Buell. then checked out two students
who had soloed once before, but had
dropped flying and had to be resoloed.
They are Philip Alter, 1888 Twentieth
street, and James Kausen, 229 Penn
sylvania avenue.
Charles A. Mason also was checked
out on the Bird after a single solo
flight last November, since when he
had not flown. The day came to a
close when Alfred Haigley, l444 w
street, was soloed in the evening after
about seven hours of dual instruction.

AS a result of the increasing disposi-
tion Of American private plane owners
and the agents of American manufac-
turers, seeking to gain foreign market
by demonstrations Of their planes, TO
make air trips over continental Euro
pean countries. a simplifed system of
handling the diplomatic arrangements
for such flights is being worked out, the
Department of Commerce has been in

AS a means of obviating unnecessary
delay and confusion regarding such
flights, a QUESTIONABLE has been made
up unofficially at the suggestion of Hugh

Switzerland, to assist owners of United
States planes in Europe.
The questionnsire, according TO the
department, applies only to existing
Swiss regulations, but in the main ap-
plies also TO regulations of most Euro
pean countries and if followed would
greatly expedite the diplomatic transac-
tionS. 1t is believed. The QUESTIONABLE
