    Thanks Mike, but I get Soaring Australia mags myself and I have read them. There is a risk in buying a Blanik for mod as you say. If I was in the market for a Blanik this alone would be enough to put me off. So, I think that they are history, I'm afraid. Its a pity because they trained a couple of generations of pilots.

    That Word document does not work very easily for me - and may be others. Can you post is as a PDF?
  3. Exadios
    Well there has got to be a lot sitting around in trailers now. You know the price. Keep an eye out.

    An interesting article.

    From another site: "If you know any high school kids aged 15 - 19 in the Hunter Valley, Newcastle or Central Coast who are interested in gliding and learning to fly please pass on the attached flyer for gliding scholarships at the Hunter Valley Gliding Club. There are 3 scholarships and each is worth $2,000 for flying at Warkworth. These scholarships are funded by Coal & Allied & the club. Applications close on 30th September. Paul Dickson" Visit Hunter Vally Gliding Club. Email: [email protected]

    Huh? That's not right. The APK packaging handles the ABI / API spectrum reasonably well (I've not yet had a problem) and the design of the presentation API handles things like layout, etc, well enough that it is not a concern.

    It seems that its at the comps where bad stuff like this is to be mostly seen.

    Actually, the decision making process is the same whether you are flying a glider or a power plane. You can usually tell if a pilot flying a power plane is also a glider pilot just by the way they fly.

    As you say this pilot made his mistake probably about half an hour before he landed and flew himself into a corner. Our training is that a road are not a landing option. Having said that we did have one of our pilots land on a Haulpak road. :)

    oo L Yes, that is what I'm saying. As I said above I understand the number of different Android phone shapes does cause a real problem. I don't know if such a product even exists .Looking at your iPad product it looks big. I doubt whether I would fit in the cockpit with than on.

    There are a bunch of articles from the WGC at Uvalde, TX, which are being held at the moment.

    Ahhh, that's the question, isn't it. :) Unlike the Apple devices there are a prolifera of Android devices having different shapes, etc. This makes it difficult for the retailer and I understand that. So let me tell you what I have now and that may serve as a guide. I use a Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone as my Android device. Anything larger is just too unwieldly for a knee board. In any case the display is about 300mm from my eye so nothing larger is needed. The knee board I use now is one I made myself by taking a "universal" holder and bolting it to a plain knee board. This works fine but is a big bulkier than I like, mainly because of the universal holder. I bought the parts from an overseas supplier - I won't give the links here. If a better purpose built product was available I would be interested. And, of course, I always prefer to do business with an Australian retailer when ever possible. I hope that gives you some ideas.

    Is your satisfaction with XCSoar a comment on the reliability of the Jabiru engine? I'm not sure how you interpret the Terrain Warning in a power aircraft. In cruise mode. Portion of my last check flight. The two red sections in the mid upper center of the display (one with a hard course reversal) are me spinning the aircraft. In thermaling mode

    I'm located at Narrogin Gliding Club. It is down in the SW corner of WA. The real soaring weather starts in Oct. or Nov. I just fly the club gliders - hence XCSoar on the phone. If I had my own I would put XCSoar on an Android tablet and hook up things like airspeed etc. The club has a couple of Puchs and a DG 500 as twins. Our singles are a couple of Astir CS-77s and a Jantar 2.
  21. Exadios
    Sure. I use it on an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus). How old is your current version? Good luck with the 300 km. What's the weather usually like in Qld in Sept.?

    XCSoar v6.3.10 has been [/url]released . XCSoar v6.4 comming soon. this version will have the ability to provide real time tracking to [/url]SkyLines Real Time Tracking . When either the tug or the glider is flying inverted it is time to bung off!
  25. Exadios
    SkyLines is an alternative to the OLC. IGC files may be uploaded as with OLC. In addition it is planned to support realtime tracking in conjunction to XCSoar.
