Thanks Peter Henderson.

Several possible directions in safe, reliable, cost-effective "tug
technology" appear to have promise:
1. GA aircraft (including ag aircraft such as our good old Pawnees) with
efficient low-maintenance engines - eg automotive-based, diesel, turbo-prop.
2. "Ultralights" with suitable powerplants -

Sounds like you troops haven't ever heard of Univair in the US? And parts
they make under FAA PMA approvals & STC'd kits of parts for the PA25-150 and
PA25-235, -260. You can get most everything you need that is of special
nature for the Pawnee structure from Univair. The rest is standard
Bob and Trevor,
We needed you at Benalla as well!
Current ghost entries had Tracey and Bill Walker in 18mtr, with now only one in
15mtr. It is highly likely that all classes will task fly and score together. The
minimum numbers for a class is 8 entered with 6 to take a comp launch.

This sounds like an oppourtunity, perhaps the certification can be bought
real cheap off an Argentinian company that is in financial difficulty?
Just thinking out loud..

Miles,
I kept in touch with Benalla re the state of play, and had a request with
Gary to keep me updated as to the likelyhood of a viable 18 M class.
Additionally, it has been very likely for the last couple of weeks that the
fires would be the final nail. Unfortunately, that has come to pass. Rega

Contrary to other opinions anyone can do an auto conversion if
so desired, I don't know where it came from that you can only do one, it is
simply not true. The present successful autotug is purely a prototype and
was done as economically as possible to obtain proof of concept onl

You don't have to go overseas to Harris Hill or
elsewhere for ths fix. We have have the Gippsland Aeronautics designed
replacement front spar carry through structure fix applied to both our Pawnees
more than 7 years ago. And I would back Gippy Aero engineering ahead of
overseas stuff
HI Roger and all,
We recently found that the Gippsland fix
only applies to the larger Pawnees PA-25-235 and up. We had to buy our front
wing attach clusters from Kosola in America around $2000 USD plus freight. They also hired us the gigs for
installation and the local Aircraft maintenanc
Hi,
I have setup a website for the Multi-Class
nationals as a recepticle for scores, photos, reports etc.. The website is
basically a cut-down version of the Club Class website.
