Sellers! Beware of Scams using Paypal

There has been an increase in the occurrences of purchase scams using Paypal across the internet. The signs may be similar to other purchase scams: poor English, asking for information that's already in the ad, insisting on getting your PayPal account information before other details are covered, an "agent" to pick up the item, etc.

"A Must-Read for Every Pilot"

Understanding Air France 447 by Bill Palmer

An in-depth and comprehensive coverage of Air France 447, an Airbus A330 that crashed after the loss of airspeed indications on the morning of June 1, 2009, killing all 228 persons on board.
Hailed as a "must read for any pilot" by numerous reviewers, the book details the important lessons to be learned from this accident for everyone that flies.

Written by A330 Captain (and Glidersource developer), Bill Palmer, this book details the actions of the crew, how they failed to understand and control the problem and why. You'll learn about aspects of weather, international communications, high speed-high altitude aerodynamics, fly-by-wire technology, and the part they all played, all in easy to understand terms. Find out how this airplane went from cruise at 35,000 feet to crashing in the ocean below in only 4 minutes—triggered only by a loss of airspeed indications!

Not just "For Sale" ads

Post an alert alert, Place a want ad, submit an article (if it's information of interest to everyone, I'll find a place for it! (see buying & selling tips)

What if I already have my item listed on another site?

Successful advertisers across many industries place their ads in many places, not just one. All soaring related ads are welcome here. But, a prominent glider classified provider does not appreciate this effort for glider and motorglider ads. Check with your current ad carrier to see if he requires exclusive handling of your ad. I think competition improves the market. What do you think?

Packed with Great Features for sellers and buyers.

For sellers: Easy listing, multiple large photos,  video, easy sharing and linking, total control over your ad 24/7, and the ability to list anything soaring related.

For buyers: Orgainized listings, powerful search functions, new item subscriptions, favorites(bookmarks), built in contact form, large photos and video!

Do I Need an account?

You don't need an account to read ads, just to post one. Here's why:our integrated contact function will email buyer messages to you without revealing your email address on the site.  Of course, you always have the option of including your email address in the text of the ad.  The registration process ensures the email address you provide works.  Your email address in not sold, distributed, or even shown to outside parties. 

Having an account also allows you to log in and exercise instant total control over your ad at any time.  

An account is also required to utilize the favorites and flagging functions and to subscribe to new ads. Simply put, these functions can't work unless they know who they are are working for. Also, when you reply to an ad, your message is sent right away. Messages from non-account holders are reviewed for spam before being sent. This protects you from spam.

Is it Free?

Yes. However, GliderSource is an independent classified ad site. It is not supported by, nor does it compete with an accompanying retail outlet (that's why you can post anything, not just some things). If Glider Source helps you, then you can make a voluntary donation to support the site.
