Very good Simon! WPP certainly has some support for his 7 year theory

Hi Patch,
Please enlighten me. What are the achieved benchmarks - both official and
unofficial - for a Boomerang/Super Arrow, that you know about? I seem to
recall that a couple of SA pilots were doing flights of 600k plus, many
years ago, including at least one flight across Spencer Gulf. Do
I think Geoff Tremain did a flight in the Bordertown Boomerang in late
1960's early 70's , Bordertown- Burra return which is over 600 kms and was a
record distance at that time.

Yeah he did, and he reminds me every time I see him. He gently sidles up beside
me and very quietly whispers 418 Then just as quietly says miles not
kilometres.

Hi Stevo,
We used the old AG year books and listed all the records done in wooden
aircraft and drew our line there. The records tumbled when the
Boomerang/Austria/Foka were replaced with Diamants, Libelles , Pheobus and
Cirrus. They weren't just a step up, they were a leap.

Again, mostly from Waikerie, Jinks, Rowe knocking off

Hi Patch,
I agree with your comments on misconceptions regarding glue failure etc in the
natural composite machines. Its unfortunate that unless you speak out these
misconceptions ( structual and performance) are passed on to the newer
generation of pilots as facts and it still amuses me

Great to hear from you, trust you are well and having fun.
Some people just don't get it, and unfortunately they don't actually look at
what we are doing in regard to maintaining the older fleet and actually
therefore reseaching what happens with glues etc.
