*Colour code is just an industry standard, wire colour may not be the same on car or trailer.
If your car plug is wired as 5 pin std then the following changes need to be made:
- Left indicator wire has to be moved from pin 2 to pin 1.
- Right indicator wire has to be moved from pin 5 to pin 4.
- Optional. If you have a reversing light wire, connect it to pin 2 (Pin previously used by left indicator in 5 pin std. This function is not used by club trailers.).

A very memorable flight with Ingo Renner |

It is Melbourne Cup weekend 2006 and luck has it that I can join the 30th birthday celebrations of the Mt Beauty Gliding Club with my family. And a glider! Monday morning, as I was washing the LS4 with my thoughts still on a beautiful flight with Mark Bland the day before, this gentleman walks up to my glider and says "good morning". I only knew Ingo from pictures and heard his voice the day before on the radio but it was pretty obvious to me then that Ingo Renner had also just arrived at the airfield this morning. We chatted for a while in English but soon realised that no one else was around and continued our conversation in German. The day appeared to become another great Mt Beauty day and so our talk didn't last too long as Ingo also wanted to get his Discus ready. Before he walked off I asked him whether he'd mind if I joined him in the air. "No, not at all. We may need to use another frequency though." That's great I thought. We agreed on the 122.7 and off he went.

Google
released the beta version 4 of its Google Earth program. If you have a fast
internet connection, you can download it from: http://earth.google.com/tour/thanks-win4.html.
I'd recommend it to anyone; it is the
next best thing after actually flying over the areas.
In this
release, the Bacchus Marsh aerodrome is is covered by a high resolution image
that resolves details to about 500m AGL. Although the airfield is partially under
a cloud, the images are amazingly accurate.
I posted three
pictures so that you could see it for yourself.

FLARM is an enhancement to the see and avoid principles but is also a real enhancement to pilots’ situational awareness.
We must continue to use good lookout techniques and develop effective scanning habits.

We had a very successful day of winch launching at Bacchus Marsh
yesterday, Saturday August 26th. All three clubs participated which was
just great to see. The majority of our instructors are now current on
this most economical ($ 7.- / launch) way of getting into the air.
The
cooperation between power traffic, aerotow and winch operation was
examplary. I believe we have shown that winch launching at our great
facility can operate without undue impact on the other activities.
Ross
(CFI) has commenced planning for the next winchday in 4 weeks time. See
my photo gallery for some images of the day.
