  All - with input those expressing
an interest - I think we have figured out the best way of making it
available - I have sent the link to all those who have requested it.  I
have made two version, the MPG2 version (730M) has turned out very
well, with very good sound - much better than expected.  If anyone
really wants the higher resolution version (MPG4 2.3G) then we can get
a DVD burnt.

In Google Earth, open the app, then use that to open the file, gives
you a cockpit view - more limited than "See You" but should be
universally accessible.

  There are a few requirements.


If you don't have it, you need to download & Install Google Earth.


Download this tiny file which will display the glider flight in Google

Earth.


You can find the app (English pages) at:-

http://ywtw.de/igcsimen.html

When that is done, open the attached file or any of your flights using
the new program.

  From
previous threads on this important topic it would appear that one of
the most widely used and low cost Pee Bag options is a large (270 mm x

  But
the limitation in this system is the capacity of the nappy liner.
   
  Some
commercial products talk about having absorbent crystals to instantly
turn liquids into an odorless gel.
   
  Does
anyone know what this absorbent might be?
   
  I
have looked at the crystals used in some commercial cat tray
formulations but the crystals are much bigger and really have a
different role.  
   
  I
suppose that the fallback position would be to crush some of these up

Re: [Aus-soaring] Boring Admin Stuff

Be careful of database size with Access! The older version ('95?) only 
was stable to 1GB then became notoriously unreliable. M/soft proudly 
announced that they'd doubled the stability size in later versions to 
2GB, carefully omitting that each record was double the size of the 
previous version...

[Aus-soaring] Male v Female In gliding: is it sexist?

[PTB]

With Jenny Thompson literally smashing a long standing feminine record, 
it has brought to my mind something that I have always wondered. 

Why are there male and female divisions in a sport like ours when 
perhaps we should have pilot weight divisions instead?

Put jelly crystals in the bag! Makes a firm(ish) pleasant smelling mass,

Matthew Gage wrote:

Try using a bag first, and practice a lot before flying !

Get a bigger (and thicker) bag than you think – I use large ziplock 
freezer bags, but don’t zip them – twist the top after filling, and 
throw downwards through the window.


First try sitting in the bath – helps with the psychological issues of 
thinking you will get wet ! You could also try putting the business 
part of nappy in the bag to begin with – it soaks up everything.


Once comfortable (ok, can manage without too much trouble), practice 
in the cockpit on the ground so you can find a sensible seating 
configuration – move the pedals, seat back (if possible), etc – again 
using the nappy to begin with, just in case !


It then becomes much easier. I probably pee every 60 – 90 mins in the 
air, and drink 3/4 litre per hour, sometimes more !

Re: [Aus-soaring] Why we fly

[PTB]

I have the dubious glory of being one of the last, if not THE last, case of polio in Australia. I was completely paralysed from the neck down for two years and told I'd never walk again. 
I do - with difficulty but I don't careBECAUSE I CAN FLY!

Re: [Aus-soaring] O2

[PTB]

My understanding is that medical O2 is specifically
supposed NOT to be dry

cyclinder and it easily meet the aviation std.

  
  
This is not the advice I received from BOC (they could not guarantee it
was dry) - nor my experience. As noted in a previous post, I have had
one occurrence of freezing up of the valve during a transfilling
operation, which suggests that there is some water present in medical
O2 on occasions.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Aero-tow question(s)

G'Day,

To anyones knowledge, (both here in Australia, and overseas) has anyone ever used a Cessna 150 or TigerMoth for Towing? 
As far as I'm aware, the early days of Bathurst Soaring Club (mid '60's on..) used Monty Cotton's Tiger Moth as their standard launch vehicle. Originally sharing the airport at Raglan and now at the current location at Piper's Field at Eglinton where we don't have enough strip length to do winch launches. From this you could extrapolate that it had a fairly short take off run, even fully encumbered.
;)
(These are very low power acft and available very cheaply)... 
This then leads on to the question, if an aircraft is able to be fitted with a hook, how does one work out the engine power requirement? Is it a hit and miss affair? Or is there a calculation that can be done? 

Sorry, can't help with that question.

Pilots Shop at Parafield Airport has some.

I got clock and vario/thermometer from Ebay (they come from Canada). There 
is a gadget shop in Chatswood (NSW) that stocks them as over the counter 
items...

Let me know if you want the contact details!

I found Amazon.com good for out of date books - they organised to obtain 
2nd hand ones, gave me a range of prices & conditions & delivered it 
(fairly) quickly.
