The
article and re
transponders.
The author/lawyer writes:
The conclusion: I believe it's ok for us to fly in class E airspace. See
section 4.7 (ii) - gives us access to E space. 3. 1(b) exempts us from
VHF radio. I believe the transponder exemption is described in the
Aeronautical Information Pack (1.5) section 6.1.2.
The instrument CASA 202/98, I think, which specifies transponders for
class E airspace only applies to aircraft with engine driver electrical
systems.
Seven days of strong west winds. Two days of flying out of eight days
of competition. One task day considered by some to be unsafe due to
turbulence due to the west wind. No fires.
What more is there to say, than the 2010 Bogong Cup was not a smashing
success? (Should I use that word "smashing?") There was no need for a
rest day, unlike at the Forbes Flatlands.
Jonny Durand (flying a Moyes Litespeed RS) was the overall winner,
having outpaced the others by twelve minutes on the first day. Rohan
Holtkamp (flying a Airborne REV 13.5) was the winner on the second day
(and second overall), but only by about five minutes over Jonny in
fourth.
The results are found
here.

This is a very easy project to build with the parts available in just about every hardware store at modest cost.

If any members would like to volunteer a small amount of time to assist
the HGFA office in any of the following advanced areas of I.T., we would
be extremely grateful. Please email
chris.drake@hgfa.asn.au.
If you're an expert in any of these roles, we shouldn't need more than
an hour or so of your help to check out setups and/or get us up and
running.
Also, if we have any skilled Melbourne-based general PC-support members
who are willing to volunteer inexpensive or free support for our office
girls, we would also be grateful.
