Re: [Aus-soaring] Glider Tugs

I was there (Boonah) in August and then September of '07, and I believe they had a Cessna at the time. I didn't mind being towed behind their tug. Granted, it wasn't as quick as WGC's Pawnee (VH-WGC, I believe it's 250hp or so, as oppose to the usual 225/30hp of a standard Pawnee?), it was noticeab

[Aus-soaring] CDMA and NextG - Again

Sort of gliding related. A while back we were discussing the impending doom already being felt by Telstra's current CDMA customers, and I stumbled across this just before and thought it would be a good read for anyone interested. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23068536-28737,0

Re: [Aus-soaring] GP video coverage

Re: [Aus-soaring] JoeyGlide airspace

Perhaps some people should talk to the pilots involved in the competition that breached airspace before commenting on this. I do admit, breach of airspace is a serious thing, but there are a few different reasons. Some breaches were avoidable, arising out of lack of navigation and/or pilot error,

Re: [Aus-soaring] CDMA/Next G - Sat Phones

Couple of questions from the young'un :) More out of curiosity here, guys, but Simon said that he's charged $35 a month just for access, and calls are extra, so how much do they charge for the calls? Also, how much does a Sat Phone set someone back? I'm assuming it's in the 4 figures or so. Oh! A

Re: [Aus-soaring] CDMA/Next G

They're been saying that for a long time. I'm on prepaid, so don't get bills, but I get a letter from them every fortnight or so urging me to swap over to the "newer and better" NextG, I also get a phone call from a sales person for Telstra every fortnight or so as well.
