Re: [Aus-soaring] World Record Claim - Lisa Trotter

2013-12-23 Thread Gary Stevenson
Hi Pam,

I echo Rob's sentiments re your good work. Thanks too for your update on the
20 m class.

 I tend to agree with you re abolishing the 1000 m "gap. If this rule is
adopted it will certainly increase pilot load, without really achieving
much. We already have "a level playing field" sort of! {Groan} 

Congratulations to Lisa on a milestone flight and certainly a PB.

This season is certainly shaping up as one to be remembered (for all the
right reasons), by many Oz pilots.

Gary

Subject: [Aus-soaring] World Record Claim - Lisa Trotter

 

Lisa Trotter flew an FAI 1000km triangle on 21/12/2013 in an LS8 / 15m from
Tocumwal. From preliminary analysis, the Triangle Distance is 1026.80 km,
and the speed 102.73 kph.

This flight will result in one World Feminine Record Claim, several
Continental Record Claims both General and Feminine, and several Australian
National Records both general and feminine.

I will post a full list of the records claims as soon as I have them ready.

Pam

[Aus-soaring] Mail delivery issues

2013-12-23 Thread Mark Newton
Hi folks.

Some of you might have had problems delivering mail to aus-soaring over the 
last few days.  The most visible symptom of the problem would have been a 
bounce message claiming “550 Too many invalid recipients” in response to your 
posts.

Not everyone would have been affected.  The problem had an essentially random 
distribution.

I’ve been chasing it down with Internode over the last few days.  They’ve 
identified it and implemented a workaround, so if you’ve had problems posting 
to the list over the weekend, try again now and it should be fine.

Cheers,

  - mark

[Aus-soaring] European transport

2013-12-23 Thread Bob Ward
If anyone has a container or trailer coming into Australia from Europe in the 
next few months, and could accommodate a 25 KG wooden box with dimensions 
820x660x230 mm I would like to hear from them. 
I am hoping to purchase a particularly good one person rigging device 
manufactured in Slovenia. Freight on its own however makes it prohibitively 
expensive.
