Sunday (31 August 2008) was certainly a great day both for the club and me personally. After the long wait, delays and frustration of shipping, I finally got the chance to fly my new glider. Nerves prior to the ground roll became calm as soon as the controls took effect and I realized that it …

The Adelaide Uni gliding club invited WGC members to come on its annual Flinders Ranges camp to Rawnsley Park, near Wilpena Pound, over the June long weekend. Our tug was also invited, and I was asked to fly it. I didn’t have to think about it for long… I had a good trip, although the …
