    Adelaide Soaring club is offering one too. The GFA is aiming to have at least 1 running in each state I hear. Having just been on the one at ASC, very much worth it.

    I have also enquired about the plane, I am waiting to see a copy of the maintenance logs before I proceed any further.

    Change is good, but everyone needs to be open minded to it. I think if we can do this right, it would bring positive change.

    I found having to keep the nose higher very different on landing. Didn't help we had a fluctuating wind from straight down the runway to a full side cross wind of 10 knots for the first time!! Made it interesting!!

    Hi All, Today I had my first flight to be certified in the J230. I had only ever flown the J170. Quite a difference between the 2, especially in landing. Was quite surprised how high I also had to get the nose in the takeoff, and goes with out saying from the bigger engine, got to circuit height in no time at all!! Anyone else got anything to share about the difference between flying the 2 aircrafts?

    While I agree face to face meetings and iterations is much better by far, when distance and costs makes face to face impossible, then video conferencing comes into place. This is my main work tool and works well but you have to know how to use it well and have the right environment setup, otherwise it does not work.

    Totally agree. As many have commented, where to you draw the line between RA Aus and GA. Hard one but I agree 650 to 700kg. It means in a j230 which can be taken away with full fuel. So do we bring up controlled airspace endorsement then!! I think this is a good one, mainly for confident on how to speak to controllers when and if the need arises. It would also help for making some trips north to south quicker in Adelaide, as I am sure it will in other states.

    So would it be fair to say, that if Flying Clubs could help fill this void at any event no matter the location, that is a good fit? I think it is. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that states need to be over represented or we have to have a state based system. We need to have the right people in the jobs, if that means they are in NZ, I say fantastic. We need to ensure for everyone one no matter where they are, they feel represented by the right people in the right positions. Hopefully that sums it up well? As for how they communicate, I work remote to my team 95% of the time, and I rely on video conferencing every day, instant chat messages and good old phone calls. There technology is there and it works as long as you can use it effectuvly Also for e-readers, PDF files are quite bad. They work better with files specifically designed for e-readers like epub files. If there is a large percentage of the members that want this, lets raise it. Again it will come done to cost vs demand, and unfortunately if there is not enough demand, then it can not justify the cost.

    So are you saying that the people in SA / WA / NT & TAS are not import and do not need a voice? also, how easily will a rep from RA Aus attend any events in these states if there is no rep local? funding travel from the eastern states is expensive, especially to WA. As for the sports pilot, I have no issues. A simple double tap on the article you want to read and the device will zoom in to that specific item, works in PDF's and Issuu. If you have suggestions to improve on this, other than just keep it as a printed format, would love to hear it. Remember what I said, to get in touch with the younger generation, they all use tablets or phones. Making the sports pilot online was a need to keep with the current times.

    Lots of interesting discussion here. I would still like to see some state based representation on the board. If WA / SA have no one local to represent the state, being more remote than the eastern states, how will we have our voice heard? I am all for change and modernising systems. the sports magazine going online, great move. new site, great move again. Accepting change, some people are great at this while others not so much. The younger generations coming through want more change, flexibility and instant information / communication at the touch of a button. If we area organisation that does not change with the times, becomes more flexible / dynamic and promotes ourselves in social media forms, we are in for a very rough time.

    Would love to see RA Aus pushing this from an organisation perspective, I have dropped them a line. I am also going to speak to my local flying club committee.
