George Augustine Taylor created Australian aviation history on North
Narrabeen beach in 1909, with the first glider flight. On 5th December of
that year he was aboard a biplane glider when a stronger gust of wind

Do you mean numbers of winch launches in one day for the club or personally?
My personal best in one day was 24 launches at RAAF Laverton on 23 Jan 82.
Flight durations ranged from 3 to 8 minutes.
How about max winch launch height? I'd have to ask Mike Maddocks if he
remembers the exact

A car will normally aquaplane when it is travelling at approximately
112 kph without cruise control on. There is nothing you can do
about it once it starts.
It happens often on the motorways in the UK.

hence my guess at the cost.

to know the pilot is visual with you. Therefore when a pilot
waves to you in a thermal, please wave back - not just to be friendly - but
to let him know that you see him too.
I'm afraid I couldn't think of any humorous gliding anectodes right now, but
I'll keep thinking.

Mike,
Sounds like an exciting project! Can I be so bold as to ask where you are
getting the engines and how much they cost? If you don't want to answer, I
understand. Are there any requirements with GFA and/or CASA to get them
certified for use on your glider?
Good luck!
Regards,
Patrick
glide computer sounds like a good idea though.

Mike,
To answer your question We need to find out what the US Military does with
airspace for comparable activity.
For many years, US military airspace has consisted of MOAs (Military
operating areas) and Restricted Areas. Anybody can fly in a MOA without a
clearance under Radar Advisory Service
Ian,
As promised, the attached file has Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) for
the turning points you requested. There was only one point that wasn't
covered. Even though the information is presented to the nearest foot, the
accuracy is more like +/- 100' ie close enough for your purposes.
