how to measure distance).
But if it shows magnetic variation and has lats & longs so you can calculate
proper distances anywhere on it, it's a map.
Plenty of other opinions, but this explanation would have kept my donkey
from being keel-hauled.

auled; and a cat-o-nine tails keeps the winch retrieve

Excellent attitudes! Yeah!! Why don't we target our marketing at those
young blokes with a predisposition to turning into cranky old farts, then we
might get a high retention rate.

This list recently reported the successes of John
Wharington, Todd ?, etc establishing an OZFLARM-based clubhouse display for
finishing gliders at Benalla. I’m looking to create something similar for
the DDSC ‘pie-cart’ (we now have 100% of the club fleet and all bar
a couple of stragglers
. Anyone know somebody who could point me at a source of logged
pressurization graphs? Or even a specification for how transported goods must
be able to cope with pressure changes?

Critical distance is probably not turning radius and tailplane, but being
able to open the rear door of a 4WD (hinging up or to the side), but this is
just a matter of convenience for restowing tow-out gear after you've removed
it from the glider.

The flares look like floaters, or at least floating after landing, meaning
the smoke is very likely an indicator of wind, not flare trajectory. I was
puzzled about the flare smoke at first, but I guess if the hurricane is like
a big 'thermal' then there may be a downdraft outside of the core, whic

The number of GFA members in Australia is about 2

I had a nasty little outlanding incident myself a short while back, and I'm
busily recalibrating my own sense of what's safe versus too risky; newcomers
to the sport seeing this kind of stuff are surely getting the wron

continuous improvement?).

Beautiful, Mark! & scary. I'd love to see the training package that you
develop out of this. Hopefully you will figure a way to get it out to
interested clubs.

A big thankyou to Marc and Matt and my Dad and Justine.
Thanks for the story, Dave. I'm hoping to join you guys again for some warm

Aw, c'mon guys, find a listserv to suit your particular brand of "the gov't

Anyone got any gliding stories?

exactly this with their opto at their next
check. I think the combination of cloud-friendly-tint, polarization and slightly-longer-than-necessary
prescription is a winner. Bit keen to try some of these yellow wrap-arounds
for comparison too.

exams but with paperwork delays after that, with good news being can fly on
student certificate until the paperwork is through... go with a full license
instead of based-on-foreign.
I'll do a brief summary posting to capture the current situation after I
return.
