Visiting tugs and yes he uses the auto tow option as well.

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.

Hallo Chris,
Strongly suggest that you contact the people at Bendigo as per my
earlier email advice. 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!
Cheers,
Gary

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?
Emailed Balaklava GC today as that is the only other club that
winches an ASK 21

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.
All the best
Graham

Hi all,
I have tried to find out what the Woodstock aerotow weak link
should be but cannot find anything. There is no woodstock in the
GFA data sheets either.
I hope somebody can help.
Regards
Chris
