Congratulations to the KPS(&R)T. The Kooka looks grand. It's great to
see an example of mid-twentieth century 'cellulose fibre' technology
back in the air!
On another topic, my thanks to all who 'pitched in' regarding my
question on GPS units. The depth and breadth of replies was truly
impressive; there is certainly a large body of knowledge lurking
amongst the constituents of this forum. You may all like to know I've
decided to buy $500 worth of launches instead just to make sure that
I actually have the skill to go XC soaring... ; )

Hi All,
Apologies for sending attachments (I’ve tried to keep them small)
but it's ‘proud father’ time. Yesterday morning Kookaburra GRZ
successfully completed a 41 minute test flight at Bacchus Marsh;
restored by the KPST after 15 YEARS IN STORAGE in WA.
GRZ started life in December 1960 with the GCV before migrating to
WA where she flew with the CGWA, Goldfields Gliding Club and many
others.
Many thanks to everyone who assisted with her ‘paddock crossing’
especially Don Woodward, Les and Ash Boyle, Alf Williams and Kevin
Saunders.
David and I look forward to many happy years of soaring in GRZ. If
anyone would like more information or photos please don’t hesitate
to email me.
Best Regards,
Caleb
