Bulero Pro maiden flight (from r2hobbies.com)
The Bulero is a 1.6M balsa wing and fiberglass fuselage sailplane from http://www.r2hobbies.com. I carbon-socked my fuselage in anticipation of taking some hard nose-in landings… fortunately it’s been very easy to lay down gently.

Graphing wind speed and direction using RRDtool
Using XML feeds from wunderground.com you can easily graph wind speed and direction with RRDtool and then format the output with PHP for iPhone. Below is a screenshot of a site I created at http://redigital.org/wind/ which tracks various weather stations in Santa Barbara, CA and Sedona, AZ.
Most of my source code is available at http://redigital.org/wp/?p=143 but I can post anything that’s missing.
