I know of a gopher being used for this quite successfully. Cheap too
second hand.
Is that to get the pilot or the glider out to the launch

It could have terry toweling canopy too. Large old beach towel would do the

What You Can Claim
Your compensation depends on the types of injuries you sustained and your
circumstances at the time of the accident. As far as possible, any form of
compensation is aimed at returning the person injured to their pre-injury
state. Your claim could be for economic loss
Hi Mal,
I checked Victoria and I am completely wrong for TAC sorry - they do accept
loss of earnings claims, but only if more than 5 days (ie not the first 5 days
lost work), and then only a maximum of 80% lost earnings to a maximum of $1130.
Didn't check NSW.

Hi All,
Here is an interesting post, that has not got any response - to date.
It seems to me that there might be issues well worth considering further, by
members of this forum.
I would hope that Terry Cubly, as Chairman of the Development Committee,
might respond appropriately.

I really think taxiing is not on and Disc brakes 90% time can work but now
and then they fail.
I once watched an ASH taxiing hit Brad Edwards Pawnee - no damage to glider
but serious ($10k or was it $20K) Pawnee damage. ASH disc was not working
correctly. That pilot had been gliding over 40
Ian,
I've got it!
A very good reminder.
Don't do this unless it is a means of last resort. If it is the latter, the
question is how did you get into the situation in the first place?
Thanks.

Perhaps the GFA Legal Advisor could assist in matters of gliders hitting

Dear Adam,
i agree with you!!
And i note that there was not one reply to your far more interesting posted
questionif the handicaps are so good why aren't fifteen metre flapped
gliders allowed in Standard class?
The priorities are not in the right order.

Hi Ian,
I think the message here is that if you don't think you can rely on a
certified piece of kit then perhaps you should spend a little more time
assuring yourself of its airworthiness with more diligent inspections and
maintenance. This how ever does not account for the Biological

The Mark 1 Eyeball is supposed to be used in the circuit to find out how not

possible clash in landing run. You both should have seen each other

I found the GCV rules online - they are not necessarily up to date but a useful
set of guide lines, that do allow taxing off the runway under certain
conditions. Thought it might be a useful guide from experts rather than just
from me...

There are plenty of cases where the mark one eye ball didn't work and fatal

We could add that old saying that a superior pilot uses his/her superior
