Re: [Aus-soaring] Club accounting
Then again, a leather-bound journal and ledger would do the job. No electricity required, and it got a lot easier since the last major upgrade was released (on 14th February 1966). Of course, this solution does require a knowledge of writing - without a keyboard or spell checker - and arithmetic (without a numeric keypad). Could be a worry, these days.

Re: [Aus-soaring] certification
What a good story (and I am sure that its true). What are we to do about this dreadful disease...government funded ineptitude (cowardice? irrelevance?) and sheer stupidity. I see so much of it, and an increasing amount of it, as I move between the UK, New Zealand and Australia. We in aviation (and sailing in my case) are particularily vulnerable. At 66, I tend to think that it wont affect me for much longer, but then perhaps we should encourage civil disobedience if only to publicise the cause. When returning from my circumnavigation I was often asked whether I saw any pirates. My reply was on the lines of..Yes, and they all wore government uniforms. That was in 1991. Its worse now. Strangely, the cleverness of modern technology often seems to make the stupidities more effective, as in the case in point.

Strangely, the cleverness of modern technology often seems to make the stupidities more effective, as in the case in point. Thanks for that, Gavin. In general they are known as The Badge Gang. The gang colours are generally blue or black and they specialise in extortion and protection racketeering. The protection is from threats that range from non existent to extremely unlikely and they aren't very good at that anyway. Yes I know Michael Coates and I'm sure it is true. The problem is the very existence of laws on certification of recreational and private aircraft. We have lots of experience operating such things, including gliders and the risk to innocent third parties has been shown to be miniscule and largely caused by stupidity on the part of the operator rather than any shortcomings in the equipment. Innocent third parties are put at far greater risk whenever somebody gets in a car. There are laws and legal remedies already in existence if the product is defective anyway. Just look at the situation with recreational aviation in Australia. It makes a regurgitated dog's breakfast look good. Ten different organisations with many different legal requirementsand varying degrees of the regulator's involvement overseen by a unit in the regulator which seems to be largely interested in covering up for the shortcomings of the recreational aviation organisations all of which provide plenty of evidence for the corrupting influencer of power over other people. Then you have the SAAA (homebuilts) congratulating themselves about winding the clock back partly to the old amateur built regs. They are a bunch of complete morons and serfs. We have the situation where it is OK for someone who doesn't know what he is doing to build an aircraft in his garage and later sell it but you can't (legally) hire someone like a LAME to build one for you. Talk about the triumph of process over results! These aircraft designs are not required to be justified to any airworthiness standard but pretty much everyone designs to meet FAR 23 structural standards anyway. No problem with having engineering standards but I'm surprised that there are any small aircraft being produced. It is hard to make a business case when you have no idea when some government dipshit is going to sign on the bottom line so you can sell your product and meanwhile you are wearing the cost (and risk) of the capital sunk.
