Re: [Aus-soaring] all gliders need one of these
I have an one with an audio! She sits in the front seat of the Bergy. Key inputs appear to be altitude, high climb rates and unusual attitudes. Interestingly she doubles as an audio altimeter too. The level of conversation coming from the front seat is proportional to altitude. I know when we are getting down close to the weeds (and a long way from home) because it is awfully quiet from the front seat... What! You don't have one yet?

Re: [Aus-soaring] Late model gliders to display at GFA AGM Melbourne.
Steve, Past experience shows that you can only fit one aircraft in the area. Perhaps RD's Duo X or DW's 29 but remember it has to be carried up the steps, which can be a bit of a bugger. Just a suggestion, but perhaps some demos of things like FLARM, new varios, radios, GPS, 02 systems and glass panels etc might be a bigger draw card. I would be happy to display and sell the (Aussie) FUN METER, I have developed. Its called the CRIKEY meter. Our team decided it would cover the good and the bad moments of soaring. Orders happily taken.
