Thanks Dennis. Re PR's Woodstock, you may be correct, but "The Question" then is :" In a winch launch only club how else do you get your Woodstock into the air?" Apart from the club winches, I know that Peter built a single drum reflex launch winch (using rope for the cable), quite some time ago. Do you know if this has been used? Maybe you could contact Peter on these questions - I do not have his contact details - and let us know.

Mal and Peter will be able to tell you more than you ever want to know about this type - THEY ARE POSSIBLY THE WORLD EXPERTS on this type! As a small aside, their two Woodstock's have been winch launching for years!

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Woodstock weak link Thanks Graham. I am on top of most of that and have more. It is probably 300 kg (green) but I have to have documentary proof before I placard it. A/T only, winch not allowed. have also started a bit of conflict between Burns & CTO re record keeping. Paper trail on this A/C is abysmal. Mike supervised the first 4 built. Any thoughts on the ASK 21 weak link?

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Woodstock weak link Hi Chris I can't find anything either. Re. the deflections, I have only the ailerons (32deg UP, 8deg DOWN) and the elevator (20deg UP, no info for down). No rudder deflections and certainly no weak link. The plans and the construction notes are available on the web, but I guess you know that already. There was one built in Australia when Mike Burns was CTO Airworthiness (about 1987 or so) so he may have some recollections of the technical information for that aircraft.

There is no woodstock in the GFA data sheets either. I hope somebody can help.
