Just a wee note to those who are coming to Taupo to fly. Cellphone coverage is a bit like Omarama. Good in places. In some ares Telecom gives much better coverage than Vodafone.
So if you have a Telecom phone as well as a Vodafone one-bring both.
Rangateiki Airstrip is one place that needs Telecom!
Of course if you have a SPOT messenger we will know where you will have landed. Of course this assumes you leave the SPOT on after landing!!! Then we can see that you are not moving and presume landed.
I visited Taupo last weekend and Trev and the Team have been burning the midnite oil and have a fantastic setup for the competition. 5 Pawnees to help launch. A big kitchen for campers. Lots of shinny computer thingies.(and WIFI) and of course a whole bunch of taps for those who want to let their gliders have a long drink before flying.
Just a note on classes. I have had a couple of pilots ask about changing classes from that on the entry form. No worries, as long as you let me know by Sunday evening!!! The officla briefing will be 7pm with a couple of "surprises" planned!!!!
I am planning on arriving on Saturday.
A note to those arriving this weekend. Trailer parking is angle parking each side of the main road entrance. Each park should be numbered (so you dont get lost when going back to your trailer!!) The park area is large enough to take your car as well-so park well back to allow aircraft to taxi up and down between trailers and hangars- Thanks
Trev has organised a prizgiving dinner at a flash restaurant room, on Friday 26th at $40 a head-sounds like a hell of a deal to me!!! So be prepared to tick the booking sheet early next week.
Seems the weather has started to change with some of that nice SW stuff on the horizon...
See ya on the weekend!!
Keep it up
Roy
