Re: [Aus-soaring] Pee Tube

Ben - Never upset at Tug Pilot; 

 

They know where the thermals are and they have long memories J 

 

My usual problem is getting lunch - just when I have launched what I believe
to be the 

last glider for a while and looking forward to a break another one appears
on the grid.

If any tug pilot decides to have a pee when I'm behind them on tow, they
will be in a world of hurt.

I'm relieved to hear that.

 

Unfortunately it sounds like if we are flying a tug we will just have to
hold on.

CASA clearly still has a major challenge to catch up with EASA rule makers.
Found blow on uras.gliderpilot.net posted by 'Big Wings'.
 
I was concerned that EASA was losing its way and creating regulations where
none are required because common sense would prevail. I now realise that I
had underestimated the rule makers. Their latest proposals for regulation
of aircraft used for non-commercial operations (NCO), in a document
entitled: Certification Specifications and Guidance Material related to
Generic Master Minimum Equipment List for other-than-complex motor-powered
aeroplanes, which addresses permitted defects in many light aircraft when
used for recreational purposes, include this stroke of genius: 

38-30-2 Pilot relief tube: May be missing or inoperative provided it is
not used. 

However, glider pilots will be reassured to know that sailplanes will be
exempt from this rule. We will be free to wet ourselves if our pee tubes
are missing or inoperative

[Aus-soaring] Kingaroy Club Sports Class Nationals

[Ross McLean]

Hi Everyone

On behalf of Greg Schmidt:

This e-mail is a reminder to those of you that are intending to fly at the
Club  Sports Class nationals at Kingaroy from the 8th to 19th of October
that the late payment fee of $50 will be added to all payments after
September 1st.

For those of you that have not registered yet please visit
http://www.kingaroynationals.com/  to register.

We had a few problems with the web site in the last couple of weeks, this
has now been remedied.

Now would also be a good time to check that your Comp License is up to date
to save a last minute rush for Berryl close to the Comp.

The Waypoint and Airspace files have been sent to the Turnpiont Exchange and
we will advise you when they have been published.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Kingaroy in October

Greg Schmidt

Re: [Aus-soaring] Pee Tube

[Texler, Michael]

Nah, poor old tuggies can't pee because they never drink enough.

Their pipe works get plugged up with kidney stones!

As a tuggie, you are more likely to crap your pants when the glider on
tow does something silly.

Remember, be kind to tuggies,  they have much fewer options
