So why don't you use the GFA Club Class National Championship Rules, which don't mandate data loggers or fixed courses (but do mandate competition licenses), make no mention of launch methods, and are handicapped so our impoverished Suthern Cousins are not disadvantaged when flying their outmoded aircraft (tongue in cheek for the last part 8)

The division of Australia into wealthier and poorer states has resulted in the need for flexibility in any overarching rules so that the appropriate mix of rules are available to suit local circumstance. For example, South Australia has 3 pilots capable of fielding current generation racing gliders, and 1 club capable of doing so. These tend to go to state contests elsewhere and the nationals because there they can compete with similar technology which is more numerous and more geographically clustered together in some other states. Meanwhile, there are a number of junior and impecunious pilots (about 20 we think) driving outdated stuff who form the core of competition in South Australia, who therefore appreciate rules which don't mandate competitor's license, IGC approved loggers, or fixed courses. And possibly even permit winch launching in the contest format. -- Emilis Prelgauskas B.ARCH ARAIA [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information. -- * You are subscribed to the aus-soaring mailing list. * To Unsubscribe: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * with "unsubscribe aus-soaring" in the body of the message * or with "help" in the body of the message for more information.
