Re: [Aus-soaring] JS1 Jet
Just in case that wasn't a little tongue in cheek :-) Surprisingly there are a good few places which still develop film. And what's more, developing weirder stuff than you could imagine... Not the JS1, but aviation related: http://www.flickr.com/photos/67057655@N08/6190837569/in/photostream.

He has been UK Club Class Champion, come within the top 10 twice in world championships and is a regular mountain soaring Instructor at Omarama.

[Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Installation Update
Thanks to all the people who responded to my appeal for help in integrating the Nexus 7 into my glider. The upshot is that I decided that the Nexus/XCSoar combo was sufficient in itself, and that to interface it with the Flarm was of minimal added value given that I already have a Digital Voice Synthesizer. By not interfacing I lose only the radar display and I can live with that. I therefore installed it so as to draw from the glider's power supply, with no further interfacing. Easy. I have now flown with it, and I must say the combination of Nexus 7 and XCSoar is brilliant. The display is very legible in bright sunlight, and the latest version of XCSoar is much improved on the version that I had in my Altair. It is wondrously user friendly and useful in its range of capabilities. I like it and I'll stay with it. I'm now seeking help because during this period my Windows XP updated itself, and now won't even see the Nexus, let alone allow files to be copied across to it or from it. At the same time it has changed so that it won't make a connection with or recognise the Nano LX data logger that I've bought from John Orton to replace my trusty old Zander, now obsolete. Can anyone assist?

[Aus-soaring] Fw: Re landing 3 wheel gliders (eg ASK21,G103 etc)

I was making a hangar flight in our Twenty One and flying it as I would a K13. With the K13 as you run out of huff if you very carefully and gently keep the nose down as the wheel begins to touch the ground effect run can continue. Not so in the Twenty One . The nose wheel eventually touches and I guess from the C of G position on the Twenty One the aircraft begins a rapid oscillation see sawing about the C of G You have to very carefully ride it out and dampen the oscillation . Flying the nose wheel onto the ground at speed would I should imagine produce something quite violent and even more rapid . For what it is worth.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Installation Update
Hi Bernard The latest version changes from portrait to landscape mode as you rotate your device. So it automatically senses its orientation and adjusts accordingly. I'm not sure what it does if your device can't detect which way up it is facing. Maybe there is a manual setting. What device are you running XCsoar on?
