I realise that very few of the exalted pilots on this forum suffer the
ignominy of outlanding, however it would be interesting to hear from any
who have had cause to use a mobile phone on NextG from a remote location.
For the last few years, my CDMA has proved reliable in contacting the
Club fro
Another thought. Peugeot 405SRDT or 406Hdi diesel. Masses of towing
torque, low fuel consumption, very comfortable for long distance
driving. Quite a few for sale second hand. If new, the 407 Hdi in sedan
or wagon. Also Mike's comments re VW diesels.
Cheers

I rehearse this when I set up the glider I am to fly each day.

I tried the exercise in different gliders with markedly different
time, 8 sec LS4 quickest,
I can second Anne's experience of the Forest Lodge if you're gliding at
Narromine and the town is full. FL is off the main drag where most of
the other motels are, quiet, a great restaurant attached and great owners.

Thanks to all for comments on Zeiss Skypol lenses a few weeks ago.
I found an optometrist in my area able to order and supply (no mean feat as
the big chains deny all knowledge of whatever isn't 'in the system').
I have ordered a pair of lenses for my existing frames. They

in your own club who will look after your optical needs, just ask
around. If not, I'm available when I'm not travelling up to Narromine

If you have your own glider by all means install a relief tube system. If
it is borrowed and doesn't have ziploc plastic bags work fine.
Borgelt Instruments - manufacturers of quality soaring instruments
Bags can leak!(pun) but work much better if you cut the pad out of a cheap
disposeable nappy
Jim,
My prescription trifocals are Skylet Sport, ordered locally but ground in
Germany. Try before you buy, ie. go and look through the sample lenses -
outside in the sun! Zeiss CAN make bifocals and trifocals but you may have
to wait a few weeks.
I think you will find the "fun" a little too lig
Thanks for the welcome Jim.
I practice in Sydney and fly at Narromine. You are on the right track when
you measured your map & instrument distances. Most refraction (eye testing)
is done with the premise that reading is done at 40cm. so the additional
power in the lower section of a multifocal i
(old enough to need reading glasses for maps
and instruments) the old fashioned bi- or trifocal keeps that area of near
focus mainly within the cockpit confines and allows clear vision below and
to the side.
