[Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Tablet

2012-10-24 Thread John Trezise
These are currently on sale at Dick Smith at $269 until 5 Nov (in NSW anyway) which is probably as good as any price I have seen, particularly from a reputable retailer (rather than an internet trader). I previously bought a Dell Streak 7 tablet which failed after four months and for which I am

In NSW, you need a weighbridge ticket for the empty trailer for registration, but this is after it has been imported. For anyone in NSW, I have detailed notes on what is required which I am happy to pass on. John ___ Aus-soaring mailing list

Another report quotes the NTSB investigators confirming that the tail dolly had been left on. Full details are posted on rec.aviation.soaring. It is hard to see how this would have caused the accident with three up. Two other theories are the accident could have been caused by an unrestrained

[Aus-soaring] DG Licenses for old LS and DG Gliders

Hi Ross ... so you were hit for 2 years. The annual fee if you go through Tom is Eu190 per year around ... around AUD 260 including GST. Direct to the factory (which allows you to deal directly with DG) is Eu250 ... around AUD312. John ___

[Aus-soaring] DG Licenses for old LS and DG Gliders

2012-03-18 Thread John Trezise
Looks like this issue is still on the boil. Apparently the legality has been challenged with DG threatening to withdraw all support if it all becomes too hard. One change to note though is that if you now buy an old LS or DG glider, you will not be liable for back payments of the license fee

2012-03-18 Thread John Trezise
Hi Ross, You are fortunate you were not required to pay retrospectively for 2010 and 2011. I had to and I am pretty sure everyone else did. The rules then were that anyone joining any time in the future would have to pay retrospectively to 2010, and I think this is still the case for anyone

Thanks Ross and Tim ... doesn't look much chance of starting a revolution on this one ! I would have thought that with the GFA running a Decentralised Comp on the OLC, there would be some relationship there ... and especially better than that with most of the non-smiley face users. Still, the

2011-11-08 Thread John Trezise
Brought to my attention today that from January, the OLC will not accept traces from Cambridge Model 10/20/25 loggers. This will cause us problems as all club gliders are equipped with these loggers. Don't know if the GFA is aware or has had any input, but would suspect it we are not the only ones

For us operators, I really think it is quite simple ... just do what the GFA requires (ie observe the requirements of AN84) and if there are issues between the GFA and CASA, let them sort them out. AN84 Issue 2 was released on 7th April, 1998 and the pre-amble states ...The confusing matter
