Barry Bowerman flies a Ximango out of Camden, NSW (VH-ZBF) and his address
is in the CASA aircraft register.
Or phone them as Mark suggests (see http://bowermans.com.au/).

The Schneider ES56 Nymph:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schneider_ES-56_Nymph

There's an office furniture shop on Canterbury Rd in Sydney which has a
glider hanging from the rafters.



Closer examination reveals it to be an ES-56 Nymph.



It looks like it's in reasonable condition, when viewed from outside the
glass frontage. Looks like a bit of water has dripped onto the port wing
near the root, but other than that it looks kinda pristine.



I mention this because the furniture shop has a "RELOCATION SALE - 50% OFF!"
banner in the window, and I wonder whether the new location is equipped for
aircraft storage. 

If it isn't, what's going to happen to the Nymph?

Perhaps someone interested in preservation and restoration of Australian
gliding history might like to give Bowermans Office Furniture a call, and
ask to speak to the proprietor?

Hi Rolf, 

Some time has passed since you responded to my yesterdays post. In the
interval,  there have been some very considered responses from other members
of this forum. In your initial response I think you really missed the point
that Derek made, and which I fully supported. Derek basically said that very
useful X/C training can be done in a K13 performance type glider, even in
this day when Duo's and DG 1000's are available in an increasing number of
clubs.

 

Please note exactly what Derek added  "(but don't go too far : )"  And
that is the very crux of the matter. The training has to be conducted within
the performance envelope of the glider being used, and  the conditions on
the day.

 

You seem to be saying that conditions are so bad at your home airfield -
Bacchus Marsh -  that (most times), you fully expect to be in a paddock if
you attempt a X/C flight in a K13 from your  airfield.  ??

 

Most clubs have a milk run 100 k triangle that early X/C pilots can attempt.
Usually the pilot is never more than 20 or 30 km from base. I suggest to you
that on an average Oz day at Bacchus Marsh,  not even a  K13 is going to be
out of range of the home base for very long on such a task.

 

BTW, I know that 750 k flights have been done out of BM. Maybe the first or
second ever done in Australia?

 

Useful X/C training does NOT require the use of State of the Art gliders.

 

Question: Does anybody have an idea as to the max distance a K13/Blanik has
flown in Australia?

 

I seem to recall that a Blanik once held a World Record with a distance
flight of over 800 k. 

 

Richard Frawley, I am staggered after reading your post. Just as Derek
covered the early training situation in a low (by current standards),
performance glider in one line , you seem to have covered in a very few
words, the entire guts of the situation. Well done indeed. I suggest to the
GFA Board that your post is incorporated (spelling aside), into the relevant
GFA manual.

 

Gary

Dear Gary,
 
I beg to differ from your opinion. On a lazy Sunday afternoon I'm happy to
embark on a cross country coaching flight in our Duo as I expect to be back
in time for a refreshing drink and still return to my home at a christian
time. With an ASK 13 and an crappy old trailer I expect to outland, spend
three hours in a fly blown paddock and then 2 hour in the dark to put the
glider into a crappy old trailer, return to the airfield around mid night
and be in my bed earliest 1 am Monday. Besides all that I inflict the same
fate on at least 3 other fellow club members. N.B. - a flight within gliding
range of an ASK 13 to the aerodrome  does not qualify as a x-country
coaching flight. At best it represents some thermalling practice.
To conclude a couple of personal questions, which you don't have to answer
if you prefer not to:
How many cross country coaching flights have you conducted over the last 24
months?
How many of those were in an ASK 13 or similar performance glider?
How many of these gliders had a crappy old trailer?
How many ended in an out landing?
Come to think of it - how many out landings did you do last 24 months? To
out myself - I have done 4 or 5 pre-arranged training ones and none in
anger.
 
With kindest Regards - Rolf

Re: [Aus-soaring] Aus RASP

[Bernie Baer]

Hi Chris,

Johnny Wharington was the administrator of Aus-RASP last I heard, but I
think he may have lost interest in RASP. You might be able to contact him
via his vario website:

http://wharingtonsmith.com/

Scott Penrose also may have access, but I am not sure of that. Perhaps these
guys are on holidays somewhere; the SA and VIC RASP sites are also still
down. 

The fix is not a big job (It is documented on the RASP Forum), but you need
to find someone with access to the machine.

Regards, Bernie.

Re: [Aus-soaring] RASP issues

I'm hopeful that this afternoons NSW RASP automated run will be successful;
should be complete by 1815.

I have manually run regions NEWSOUTHWALES, CAMDEN and JWGC and they seem OK
now. 

It's still using 0.5 degree data for the time being (but in the new
format/naming convention) as I probably need to do a lot of testing before
switching to the 0.25 degree data.

Testing will be done on the JWGC region.

"XCSkies seems to be broken too, as well as just about everything that uses
GFS. Kind of tragic given this change has been in the works for years! 
Of course RASP is all volunteers, but the paid services could have handled
it better...
I understand part of the upgrades was increasing the resolution of the seed
data from 36km grids to 13km grids so we might see more accurate forecasts
once they're fixed?"
Matthew

That's correct, the change was from 0.5 degree grid to 0.25 degree grid
resolution. That should improve forecast accuracy, but may also increase
computer run times significantly.
Some of the detail of the change was not distributed widely and early
enough; also many RASP admins were on holiday (maybe even flying!).

"NOAA changed the format."
Gretje

Correct, NCEP (National Centers for Environmental Prediction) is part of
NOAA.

a NETTO option and outputs to a USB plug:  5 volts, NMEA data for airspeed
[yes airspeed]  into the Nexus7  [with a plug to integrate  FLARM ].  Anyone
got one? 

I don't want to muck around with IOIO and would be happy to have the FLARM
[audio and indicator] directly into the NEXUS 7 [or NEXUS 7 2017 update when
it is released].

[Aus-soaring] Serial ports

[Bernie Baer]

  1. Communication via serial to USB converter (Ian Mc Phee)

I am assured it is using wrong serial port in use. I suggest all using one
of these devices first ALWAYS go to device manager (I suggest you make a
link to device manager on desktop if you find it hard to locate) and check
serial port in use.  Then go to the program you wish to use and REALLY
check that you have it if necessary reset to that com port.


Try this (if running Windows):

1. Create a file called port.txt
2. Edit and put the following two lines of text in it:

reg query HKLM\hardware\devicemap\serialcomm

pause


3. Save the file, then rename to port.bat
4. Double click to run it. It will tell you which are the in use ports, so 
you can either figure out why they  are in use, or select a different unused 
port on your device.

News Flash: Gordon Boettger to Attempt Another Record Flight - Monday, 
February 17th

by Gordon Boettger . February 17, 2014
At sunrise on 17 January, we are planning on launching in the Duo Discus 
glider from Minden at sunrise and aiming for Rapid City, SD as our goal, a 
distance of over 933 miles.  Below is a link to the map with our position 
updates every 5 minutes.  If you'd like to see the details of our position, 
you can click on the blue dots on the map to see our speed, altitude, time, 
and position.  Please do not send text messages to the InReach as I will be 
extremely busy.  Walt Rogers will be assisting in weather and communications 
with us throughout the flight. We just have to hope that the weather lines 
up properly for this to happen.  It should be fun to watch as a lot can 
happen flying without a motor.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Contact lenses, laser surgery etc

[Bernie Baer]

 Hi DMcD,
thanks for the comments. However, as stated in the first sentence of
my original post, I already have bifocal sunglasses, and they work
very well. I am always acutely aware of the fact that should I lose
them, break them, drop them in the drink, etc. etc. I am up for an
expensive replacement and a long wait for same. The conversation with
my friend re laser surgery prompted me to investigate contact lenses
as my thinking was that perhaps I could wear multifocal contacts (or
even bifocal contacts) and use  off the shelf sunglasses when flying,
driving and fishing. Thus should any of the afore mentioned
misfortunes occur, I could simply buy/borrow/beg/steal another set of
sunglasses at short notice. 

I have an appointment with a local optometrist who is a member of the
Cornea and Contact lens Society of Australia so maybe they can assess
my vision and come up with a suitable product, we will see.
As far as laser surgery goes, the option most suitable for me
(monovision) is apparently not suitable for pilots as it reduces depth
perception so I have ruled that out. 
Regards, Bernie.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Contact lenses, laser surgery etc

[Bernie Baer]

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.
Like Niall I have used reading glasses since my early 40's but only in
the last year felt I needed help with long distance as well.
I also used to use regular sunglasses with stick-on lenses for close
up work (tying knots when fishing, reading PDA's etc when flying).
I'd be happy to return to that scenario if I could. I'll have a chat
with my optometrist.
One further complication is that I swim & shower or cycle & shower
nearly every lunchtime. Contacts don't sound so good in that case.
Can o' worms.
Regards, Bernie.

[Aus-soaring] Contact lenses, laser surgery etc

[Bernie Baer]

For a year or so now I have been using bi-focal glasses for driving at night, 
and the same prescription in sunglasses for flying, fly fishing and driving on 
sunny days. On a recent fishing trip to a remote Pacific atoll I spoke to a guy 
who had had laser eye surgery to correct his long sightedness who was very 
happy with the results. On my return, I did some research and noted that the 
laser surgeons reccommend using contact lenses before having the surgery to 
check how you will respond to having 'monovision'. I then did some more reading 
on contact lenses and was happy to read that they are available in various 
bifocal configurations (see 
http://www.allaboutvision.com/over40/multifocalcls.htm )
I am now interested in perhaps getting contact lenses (cheaper than laser 
surgery) and then being able to choose from a much bigger (and potentially 
cheaper) range of regular sunglasses.
Has anyone taken this route? I would be interested to hear your comments.
Thanks, Bernie.
PS I also have 'reading glasses' for reading and computer, but can't see the TV 
properly with either those or the driving glasses. Not to mention my workshop 
glasses, and $2 knot tying glasses for fishing when I can't afford to drop my 
proper glasses.

Re: [Aus-soaring] New Hi-Res RASP for Temora and Narromine areas

[Bernie Baer]

Thanks to feedback from the contest director of the World Hang Gliding 
championships at Forbes, I have discovered
an error I made when setting up these two new regions. Specifically, the Land 
Surface Model specified was incorrect
and consequently the hi-res Temora and Narromine maps were significantly more 
conservative than the lo-res NSW maps. 

This has now been corrected; and this afternoons output is now more similar to 
the NSW maps.
At least the Narromine run is; the Temora run wont be finished until after 7 PM.

Run completion times are:

Morning runs:
NSW5 AM
Narromine 6 AM
Temora 7 AM

Afternoon runs:
NSW5 PM
Narromine 6 PM
Temora 7 PM

Regards, Bernie.

Hi all,
I have added two new RASP areas to the NSW RASP ; Temora and Narromine. Still 
in the testing stage, and only work for the 'Current' forecast period but these 
maps are at 6Km resolution compared to the full NSW maps at 12Km. Takes a lot 
more computing time, hence they cover a smaller area but they overlap and cover 
most if not all of the typical tasking areas. They run twice daily so you get 
an evening forecast and an updated forecast in the morning. The colour scale on 
some maps differs from the NSW maps but that will be fixed after this 
afternoons run. Let me know how they go.Available on the Univiewer  and 
RASPtable interfaces at:  
http://blipmap.walsys.net/TABLE/NEWSOUTHWALES/FCST/index.html

If it doesn't work for you (especially RASPtable) it's possible you may need to 
delete any existing cookies for 'blipmap.walsys' then refesh your browser.

Hi,



My trusty old volkslogger has gone back to a 1993 date confirmed by using
Strepla and SeeYou to download the IGC file.

The UTC time is still correct but the date is 3/4/1993 instead of
17/11/2012.



The IGC file shows - 2nd line is the date stamp

Does anyone know why this would happen and how to get the Volkslogger back
to the correct date?

[Aus-soaring] New Hi-Res RASP for Temora and Narromine areas

[Bernie Baer]

Hi all,
I have added two new RASP areas to the NSW RASP ; Temora and Narromine. Still 
in the testing stage, and only work for the 'Current' forecast period but these 
maps are at 6Km resolution compared to the full NSW maps at 12Km. Takes a lot 
more computing time, hence they cover a smaller area but they overlap and cover 
most if not all of the typical tasking areas. They run twice daily so you get 
an evening forecast and an updated forecast in the morning. The colour scale on 
some maps differs from the NSW maps but that will be fixed after this 
afternoons run. Let me know how they go.

Available on the Univiewer  and RASPtable interfaces at:  
http://blipmap.walsys.net/TABLE/NEWSOUTHWALES/FCST/index.html

If it doesn't work for you (especially RASPtable) it's possible you may need to 
delete any existing cookies for 'blipmap.walsys' then refesh your browser.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Integration with Flarm, 12V supply

[Bernie Baer]

There is a device called a k6-mux that is programmable to do what you 
needThe K6-mux is a multiplexer which combines data streams from multiple 
devices (Flarm, vario). It still has serial output, OK for PDA's but not 
Android/USB devices.Some people use the K6 BT (Bluetooth) device but then 
you still need to power the Nexus/Android device 
somehow.http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/k6.htm

Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Integration with Flarm, 12V supply

[Bernie Baer]

Hi Paul,
what most people do is build an adapter that converts the serial RS232 data 
from the Flarm (or suitable vario) to USB host using a device called a IOIO 
board (pronounced yo-yo).

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10748?

You can see the one I built here:
https://picasaweb.google.com/baer.bernie/IOIOForCAI302
which I built based on this information:
http://xcsoar-robd.wikispaces.com/XCSoar+Android+-+to+-+RS232+%28IOIO%29

If I were to build another, I would model it from the one shown here, using 
the exact same components:

http://legalland.free.fr/Tuto.html

Those components can be sourced locally (or not):

IOIO suppliers in Aus:
http://australianrobotics.com.au/products/ioio-for-android-v2
http://www.oceancontrols.com.au/SFC-070.html

MAX232 supplier in Aus:
http://www.x-on.com.au/InventoryDetails.aspx?id=1228522&s=1

MAX232 data sheet:
http://www.mikroe.com/products/view/166/max232-board/

There are plenty of threads discussing the IOIO board at the XCSoar Hardware 
forum here:

http://forum.xcsoar.org/viewforum.php?f=3

Eg:
http://forum.xcsoar.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=52

It's also possible to buy them tailor made, eg:
http://tvlnet.de/joomla/

That should get you started!
Regards, Bernie.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Integration with Flarm, 12V supply
To: "'Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.'"

Message-ID: 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I've bought a Nexus 7 and installed XCSoar onto it, and I'm delighted with
the result although I'm yet to fly with it.

My next step is to integrate it into the ASH. Mounting it is easy, getting 
a

5V power supply to it sounds easy, but what I'd like to do is to create an
interface that takes power from the glider's 12V system, and the data 
output

from the Flarm, and turns them into an input acceptable to the Nexus.

Any advice? Thanks, Paul Mander

Re: [Aus-soaring] No RASP data?

[Bernie Baer]

The problem is that the plotting software needs an upgrade, the RASP 
administrator for Aus-RASP needs to download and install the latest NCL tarball 
from Dr Jack.
If you are in NSW or SA you are sweet as those States still provide independent 
RASP instances:

[Aus-soaring] Small change to the NSW RASP Blipmaps

[Bernie Baer]

FYI: A small change to the NSW Blipmaps:

A stipple (ie, dots) has been added to the "Cu Cloudbase where
CuPotential > 0"  blipmap to provide an indication of the  variability
of the cloud forecast instead of simply presenting a simple "yes or
no" cloud forecast.  It may be quite useful for us to be able to see
the areas where the model says there is almost clouds (in the
uncoloured regions) as well as where there is barely clouds (in the
colored area).

The "OD Cloudbase where ODpotential>0" map has also had this feature
added.

Regards, Bernie.

[Aus-soaring] Added features on NSW Blipmaps

[Bernie Baer]

I've added some new functionality to the NSW Blipmaps at 
http://blipmap.walsys.net/UNI/univiewer.html  (Univiewer version only).

You will see two new check boxes for 'popups', called SkewT and BlipSpot.  (If 
you cant see them, hit 'Shift+Reload' to reload the page).

Select one or the other, not both!

Put the cursor anywhere on the map (any map), left click,  and you will get a 
SkewT chart for that location, or Blipspot data which is the data for that 
point in tabular form.

Regards, Bernie.

[Aus-soaring] Silicon free polishes?

[Bernie Baer]

Hello folks,
it's Form 2 time and we plan to give our LS1-f a bit of a buff and polish. A 
product called NuFinish was recommended, however a quick Google search finds 
that it contains silicon and I understand that this is not a good thing should 
any future repairs be required. Is this correct, or is silicon getting a bad 
rap? 

Our club has used a Meguiars marine product called M4516 High Gloss Polish, I 
am led to believe that this contains no silicon but have yet to confirm that.
See 
http://www.meguiars.com.au/productdetail_2006.php?seq=9&category=SPECIALTY&subcat=Marine%20Care&subsubcat=Polish%20and%20Protect&show=3

Can anyone speak with authority on this subject? Any other products that I 
should know about? The gel coat is in good condition, it was machine buffed 
last year and shows little if any oxidisation to my untrained eye. I imagine a 
quick polish followed by a wax would be sufficient, so the Meguiars marine 
products are looking good:
http://www.meguiars.com.au/product_2006.php?category=SPECIALTY&subcat=Marine

[Aus-soaring] 2 day NSW RASP Blipmaps forecasts now available ......

[Bernie Baer]

I have implemented 'Current+1' processing on the NSW Blipmaps - which means
that in the evening after, say, 1800 you can see a forecast for tomorrow AND
the day after...  great for planning your weekend away.  Saturday is
looking good at this stage!

Temporarily (probably permanently) at 
http://blipmap.walsys.net/UNI/univiewer.html  (and only
available via the Univiewer interface).

The 'Current+1' forecast utilises AVN (low res) data, rather than the usual
GFS (high res) data. See 
http://www.drjack.info/twiki/bin/view/RASPop/GFSvsAVN for more details.

Thanks to David George for his assistance.

Re: [Aus-soaring] New Australian gliding forum

Hi AJ,
yes, the Darling Downs forum was the inspiration for this one, and I 
plagiarised their category headings. I hope they take that as a compliment and 
not an insult.
I saw their site as aimed at DDSC members, not an Australian audience, and hope 
I didn't offend anyone. Headings can be easily changed.
The new forum is intended to be an adjunct to existing forms of communication 
methods; it will sink or swim on it's merits like previous forums mentioned.

[Aus-soaring] Dr Jacks blipmaps and RASP (Regional Atmospheric Soaring Predictions) for NSW

[Bernie Baer]

Hi Folks,
I have just installed RASP (Dr Jacks blipmaps) for NSW :

 http://blipmap.walsys.net/NEWSOUTHWALES/

The installation is still in the testing stage but appears OK apart from the 
soundings. (The Camden sounding works, but Temora and Narromine don't yet).

On the graphics, location 1 is Camden, 2 is Temora, and 3 is Narromine (the 
numbers are in white and hard to see, but they are there).

RASP is installed on a server owned by a non-pilot friend; it chews up about 
9GB of his download allowance every month, and utilises 100% CPU for about 4-5 
hours per day. Consequently it could disappear at any time, should it impact 
his web server.  

My thanks to Johnny Wharington for his invaluable assistance, and Dr Jack 
Glendinning for the free distribution of RASP. 

Regards, Bernie Baer / Southern Cross Gliding Club, Camden. ___

[Aus-soaring] New Australian hang gliding distance record: 456 KM

[Bernie Baer]

With the World hang gliding championships about to 
begin at Hay, Rohan Holtkamp flies from Hay to Bathurst (456 KM) .
With the World record at over 700 KM, seems it's 
only a matter of time before 500 Km falls in Australia. Not bad for performance 
less than a Grunau Baby.
 
http://www.davisstraub.com/OZ/9.005#0
 
As we walk into the Worlds Headquarters (Wednesday 
evening) Rohan Holtkamp (Worlds organizer) on an Airborne Climax C2-13 is on the phone.  He landed just 
before 8 PM having set the new Australian distance record of 456 
kilometers.  He launched at 11 AM on a very windy day here in Hay (it's been windy for the past three days - we wouldn't have 
held the contest on these days).  When he launched the sky was dark 
with thick low clouds at about 2,000'.  It didn't start breaking up here 
until about 1:30 PM.  Launches were difficult due to the strong 
winds.Rohan was just short of 300 miles when he was stopped by forests and 
mountains to our east.  He came back the next day.Jonny launched at 
8:30 AM when he previously set the record from Beechmont in Queensland earlier this summer (http://ozreport.com/toc.php?8.221#0)
