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

[Aus-soaring] Mail delivery issues
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.

[Aus-soaring] Contact email for John Wharington?
Can anyone give me an email address for John Wharington? I need to ask him something about unmanned soaring, related to the Perlan Project.

[Aus-soaring] European transport
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.
