ASRA National Flyin 2011

[Tsemler]

I"m out now.... Lameroo Fly-in is the same weekend.

[icarter]

Just wanted to check if it was still all systems go for the long weekend nationals in two weeks time? Any information?

[Mark Horan]

Unfortunately I wont be flying to Burren.........I would have loved to, but because I couldnt get the eight strong men to help me with doing a tripple hang test on a previously registered two place machine built by Rosco with more than 300 (trouble free) hours flying time, I missed the dead line to re register my gyro. And because I left it too late get a appointment with the only doctor in a town with **** health services, I couldnt get the medical needed to re licence myself to fly the two seater, and because Ill be fu@#ed if Ill pay double like I did last year, because Im apparently too lazy to get my subs in on time, even though I maintained my membership in the years that I didnt have a machine in the air, I wont be flying until the end of December, when if I can co-ordinate the farm, My wife, four kids and Christmas time, the bush fire season, the livestock carting business and driving B-double log trucks a couple of times a week, marking 300 calves and trying to get an appointment with Doc Sutherland..... well I might be able to fly me gyro!there is still the question of finding enough blokes to help with the hang test off a suitable tree......without rooting the machine! >Happy days guys,Mark.

All good. I"ve been promised by the locals the weather will be fine,the beer cold and the bore baths warm.

Mark,We can do your hang test at Burren if you want,it would be an interesting exercise for others to see how its done. I don"t think we have a tandem Rosce yet for the record.If you don"t carry two people a lot just get the single seat "self" medical for now and the other down the track when you have time.The late membership fees, cows,kids and Christmas I cant help you with unfortunately.

Anybody flying to Nats via Glos or Old Bar/Taree; they are good decision points weather wise before going over the mountains; I plan to leave Old Bar on Fri or Sat via Walcha etc; need plenty of ponies for WalchaJoe

there you go mark when your on a downer, and i don"t blame anybody in buisness for being on one, muzza"s advice/helping hand is very contructive.

Just a reminder about fuel. The local servo only has 92 octane.We are getting 1000 litres of 98 octane in drums delivered to the airstrip, so if you are flying in and need fuel send me an email so we can have an idea of what we need. murraysbarker@bigpond.com.
