The ES50 needs to be included, alias club 2 seater or the brick.
The first Kangaroo was built at Rosewater and funded by John Wotherspoon.
After a fairly short period of flying at Gawler Harry and John set a
Commonwealth record with a flight from Parafield to Mildura. They could
have flown much
Just to confuse things a bit more, the first page of my log book shows 9
flights in the ESA49-I and 14 in the ES49-II. This was the period May to
Jul 1960 at ASC.
Unfortunately I was not then in the habit of recording glider Rego letters.
So it seems that there were a couple of versions on the
Regarding 4 tube pneumatic connectors, I remember them being discarded from
gliders in the late 70s. They were regarded as being suspects in instrument
problems, due to the possibility of leakage in many different possible modes. So
despite their great convenience, especially with the Libelle
We have two gliders which use these connectors. Provided
they are clean when assembled, and the locking ring is fully
tightened, we have not had any trouble.
If a connector is old, it may be worthwhile to replace the
O rings used as seals, possibly with a *very* light smear
of non-silicone
It is good to see that there are still some people out there that are sane.
The gaggle issue is as those that responded: Ludicrous.
I agree totally. In everything we do there is inherant danger.
I have been making a point that there are many double standards in our
organisation.
How can we
Thanks Robert, this is just the kind of stuff we need on Aus soaring.
Thankyou again.

I have secondhand, a 57mm Winter mechanical vario ($300) and a

Both in good condition.

Hi all
I have seen a number of newer aircraft around that have the instrument panel
connected to the pneumatics (ie static, pitot, TE and flask plumbing) by a
four tube connector. It looks a little like a 4 pin canon plug but with 4
pneumatic tubes rather

In my opinion this advice has the potential to kill people on winch

This is a very good point - and a case in which a check on the ASI is
indeed needed.

Attitude is only good in steady state flight.

Gliding is waning- so is private general aviation which you realise when

Having recently participated in the QSA Easter comp at Chinchilla, I
would have to disagree on this.
Brian Wade presses for more input, so here
goes:
There is the issue of two gliders in the thermal at
the same height and circling in the same direction. Ideallyeach
glider maintains a position opposite the other, ie. on the other side of the
circle. This is not always easy given differences
There was a 4 way pneumatic connector available
(from Winter?) which one found around in gliding years back, ie. 1970's,
probably because we all flew Libelle's then. Ultimately the outer plastic
securing ring would break, ie. they were not secure. It was necessary to
make a brass or similar
