Ka6 is just fine. Basically if it is wood and fabric, you can come.
Some of us love the smell of spruce and fir...

And if your trailer isnt up for the trip, just airline it over, we will
find a ship for you to fly! God knows there are plenty of qualifying
gliders around here that mostly just sit waiting for their weekly
saturday afternoon local flight

To fix this, I am organizing a contest. Only "crappy" gliders will be
allowed. Im thinking capping the L/D at something like 28. No
fiberglass, no water, no GPS or cambridge glide computer thingymabobs.
Pellet Varios are fine, Total Energy if you want to get high tech.
Basically you, your glider, a sectional and a task. We will do
triangles only, designed to make it back to the airport so that we can
tell lies and drink beer into the evening. First guy to make it back
is the first guy on the list to retrieve land outs, and so on. If its
windy, the only task will be to stay upwind of the airport. No score
will be kept, except the days winner will have to buy beer. So we are
looking at next spring/summer sometime, in Central Iowa. So far Im in
with my Cherokee, Matt Michael will probably compete with his Woodstock
(Which has done 400 km Hilton Cup Triangle in IOWA!) and a few others
from the upper midwest. Who else wants to come?

I do. But will you allow a Ka6? It was 30 odd when it was new forty
years and 3 coats of paint ago.

How far is Central Iowa from Bathurst New South Wales? Is the road OK
because the trailer's as old as the glider?

I wish I could be there!!! Go Tony!
