I wish to compliment Internode, the ISP who so
generously provides the aus-soaring service.
In order to keep control of spam, I have a large

We used a reverse pulley system at Bacchus Marsh for some years back in the

first one landed, no lift conditions. Very fast very simple and safe.
Cheers

Peter,
Long story kept short. We were forced to aerotow by the Dept. or else we
would have lost BCS. Long story is the years of Dept. pressure to remove the
gliding. Great reading for history buffs.
Best reply to Dept. from BCS gliding went something like this,
Dear Sir,
Get stuffed.
Nasty letter
