The Libelle Canopy lock topic got well of track....was it resolved.
It is the off track discussion that sparked this idea.
We all have an outlanding story we love to tell, if you haven't you have been
spending too much time in the hangar (or on the computer). We have all sat
round
at the end of the day flying the hangar and often telling tales of
outlanding, many of
them embellished over the years - that is part of the fun.
What an idea for a coffee table book - A collection of Australian Outlanding
stories.
The market will not be huge but it is one way that the exploits of the past
will remain
part of the folk lore of Gliding.
SDF
PS - I wonder where those 3 young maidens who rode bare back to my assistance
after
my first real outlanding are these days.

I was picked up from a farmhouse one glide south of Orrorroo on Christmas Day
a long time ago along with 2 other pilots, where we were royally fed and
watered; while the crews in the 3 car/trailer convoy had all the usual
electrical & engine issues that elderly gliding cars and trailers have on a hot
dusty day and that night.
We'd all hit the sea breeze as we were heading south late in the afternoon,
and after the all night celebratory drinks at least the pilots didn't care it
was Boxing Day before we got home.
