I used the MTW ones from Ian for my 3W canisters good fit.

As to weather we surport or not that is up to you guys but remember one thing!! The MAAA has lots of money to spend on bringing out top flyers and judgeing coaches etc so i we expect them to dip in to the money pot for us we DO need to surport the Nationals.
Cheers, Wassa
Why cant we have our own nationals . I have seen far to many sports loosing
there way all bacause of a perception that the peak body knows best .

On face value the the ASAA board know what they want and also know how
to put on a good show for there members however I hope they dont fall into the
same trap as the APA . International & national accreditation is going to have
a heavy cost .

Beware what you wish for , you may just get it .

I know that this all sounds like a big wank but are we seeing the first signs
of being told what to do by the MAAA .

Stu .

Thanks for the help, better start practising.
Hi Owen,

Based on how you flew when you were up here on holidays, I'd say you are more then capable of being competitive in basic. Your toughest opponent in your first comp will be your own nerves and the only way to fix that is to get amongst the action. The journey of a lifetime begins with a single step

Cheers

Winds spark rogue 19.5m wave off Tassie

Friday Sep 22 16:32 AEST
Gale force winds have produced a massive 19.5-metre wave off the coast of Tasmania, according to surf forecasters.
The rogue wave was recorded about 9am (AEST) on Thursday and is believed to be one of the largest ever measured in Australia, forecasters say.
Swellnet website forecaster Ben Matson said a waverider buoy located 10 kilometres from Cape Sorell, on Tasmania's west coast, recorded a wave peaking at a height of 19.5 metres (64 foot) as westerly winds crossed the coastline.

Jeremy, after flying your plane, I would say around 1mm should do it.
