A nuclear plant would be a good thermal source, wouldn't it?

I'd rather look after the debris from some out of date wind
generators than that from an out of date nuclear reactor !
I think wind farms are quite beautiful. Sort of dynamic
sculptures...

Hi
As people know, I fly a Nimbus 2c (Alice in Wonderland).
I and my partner are looking to take Alice to the multi-class nationals
in NSW just after Christmas.
In the previous, unhandicapped multi-class nationals, Alice would have
been able to fly in the 18m class, in deference to the age of th
Surely beauty is in the eye of the beholder Mike.
Haven't seen the particular site you mention but the Aussie wind gen farms I
have seen look OK to me. A bit like most man-made objects - the design
aesthetics seem to be the key to acceptance or not.

Is there a good model within the Aussie club scene for a "combo club" which
caters for both ends of the time/money spectrum - and those in the middle?
The AEF's at our club are an important cross-subsidy element and has funded
our fleet establishment from zero to useful in five years. (Upgrade nex

Mike, Its the tubine tower (coal power station) - something about the shape
I guess. Agree on the environmental side.
As for Texhachapi, the fabricated towers do detract but still find the
visual fascinating. The Mojave2 photo takes the cake for me (link).

Mike, you make some interesting points. Is this the type of scene you
are alluding to (Tehachapi)?

Or does it get worse than that?
The difficulty with windfarms to me is the spoiling of the horizon
view for such vast surrounding beautiful ar
Robert,
Did you happen to see the last Aus Soaring magazine, where the new
multi-class handicapping is introduced. Mention is made of dividing
the fleet into two (as yet un-named) classes. Perhaps this is done at
the comps at an arbitrary point to simply separate the fleet into two
logical groups

Can someone tell me if there has been a change in how this
list operates. I posted a reply a second time today because
I didn't see the first reply in my inbox, and thought it had
been lost in cyberspace.
Is the list set up so the poster is not sent his own post,
or have both my posts disappeared
Does anyone have a K 7 canopy for sale or know of a local
manufacturer? I understand that the K 13 canopy is cut down to provide a k
7 front canopy.

Hi John,
This happened to me frequently until I realised that it seems
sensitive to the email address that you use to send "from".
Have you got multiple email addresses set up in your email system?

Buronga is the town on the NSW side of Mildura. The Sunraysia club would
be within a few miles.
