G'day Mark
I went back and re-read Peter's note about what was
said at Caboolture and I still don't pick up the "someone HAS sued us"
message.
And I don't recall that being mentioned when I have
been spoken to about the submission that was considered at the last Board
Meeting.

Hi,
Anybody out there know where I could get hold off an ali cylinder for a Limbach
2000 motor for a G109? Ours somehow dropped a circlip off the gudeon pin and
has scored the cylinder.
Or does anybody know if the steel pots are a direct replacement or does the
block need to be machined?

Hello Ian,
When you say "has never been reported" do you mean that no-one ever reported
it to ATSB or GFA, or that there was no public report of the findings of

Hi
The ABC and possibly other news outlets are reporting a glider fatality
at Caboolture.
There has been a fatality - but it was a RAAus registerd ultralight
motor glider. I do not know yet exactly what type - there is an Alpin
single seater ultralight motor glider and also several Pipistrel
I have been informed it was a TST Alpin.
Very sad news for everyone.

While on accidents I understand the insurance co has increased excesses on
all motor gliders by a huge amount on June 1 but I believe over 80% on the

There seems to general agreement to the following:
1) Timely Publication of a reasonably substantial report on each
