Hi All,

This year’s venue is Ararat Airfield, home of the Grampians Soaring Club.
Please see the attached notification for more info & the attached entry form to

Cheers,
Mike, B and others interested in FES,
Mike, I am simply amazed that in a recent post, you described the FES system as
“Silly” and in this post, you seem to be implying that it would probably be
much inferior to the same system if on a retractable pylon,
Mike, all who have used FES describe the
I have booked Maddog to put a silly FES in my LS8. He has another 2 LS8’s he is
going to fit out.
Get in line, with better batteries on the way it just gets better and better.
No more risky paddocks for me. Too old for that crap.

I think what Mike was referring to was not the drag of the blades in
gliding flight but the efficiency of the nose-mounted propellor in climb.
Reliability through simplicity is definitely a factor, but the FES is not
much good if you want to self-launch (prop clearance).

geometry is an issue.
1) would a 3 or 4 blade prop be better?
2) is the geometry better on some planes than others?

Hello All,
Just wondering whether anyone has contact details for Ib Braes?
Alternatively, if he's sold the Ventus cM he used to own - then the e-mail
contact of the new owner? Could that now be Graham Brown (VH-VCM)?
Any thoughts?
SeeYou,
WPP
