2002-10-23 Thread Michael_Texler
Hello,   Can anyone tell me why there are two gliding clubs at Corowa airfield? Did one grow out from the other? Was there a split (amicable or otherwise)? Are they catering to different clients? How does each club feel about the other? Does anyone on this list have first hand experience of

My Magellan 315 already has an inbuilt data logger for height so it seems a shame to have to have another box with batteries to attach to it. I can see the height trace in Ozziexplorer but I cannot find out how to print it out. PeterS - Original Message - From: "Mike Borgelt" <[EMAIL PROT
