Kwells for me but I can only take a 1/2 - a whole one makes me drowsy. -Cath

Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Air-sickness Having suffered from bad motion sickness for years, both racing sailing boats offshore and flying, I have tried many remedies: Ginger - helps a bit. Pressure pads - useless Scopoderm patches - fantastic on the boat, but expensive and you waste them flying - they last 3 days, but don't wear them in the shower, or drink when wearing them. Kwells (or similar) - same active ingredients as the patches - work well for me flying - 1 tablet 1/2 hour before. WARNING: I know of at least 1 person who they send to sleep, so test flying as a passenger first ! The only side effect I have is that they give me a dry mouth, so I end up drinking more, which is probably a good thing anyway. I have tried other medications, but for me, all have been wither useless, or sent me to sleep. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Newton Sent: Wednesday, 30 November 2005 09:46 To: Jim Kelly; Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.

Eh? g is related to bank angle, not speed. If you're turning steeply you'd have more g, right? (not picking. Oh, alright, maybe a little bit) We have an instructor at AUGC who gets airsick just about every day. Don't know how he does it. But he says when he's single-seat flying, hanging around right on the edge of final glide, when he isn't sure whether he can make it back to the field, works wonders. Seems the airsickness thing really is more mental than physical (for him), because focussing his attention like that makes it go away. - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it hurt when I walked.
