Because of the thread drift I have started a new thread "Oximetry".
W.J. (Bill) Dean (U.K.). Remove "ic" to reply. "Eric Greenwell" wrote in message ... Derrick Steed wrote: This is exactly why Bill Daniels and I recommend pilots carry and use an oximeter at all times, even while in the club house. This is especially=20 important in high elevation areas, like Colorado.=20 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Might I suggest that you read the post on URASB regarding oxymeters and caution regardingt their use, by Peter Saundby (the BGA medical advisor, and retired wing commander from the RAF medical branch with significant knowledge in regard to aeromedicine). Severe "thread drift" from darksucking light bulbs, but I did read the posting, and hope Peter will elaborate on what comprises "extreme caution should be exercised when using oximetry at altitude because it can offer a false assurance", if he thinks pilots would be better off leaving the oximeter at home (given the difficulty of exercising extreme caution when hypoxic), and what he might suggest in place of an oximeter to detect or avoid hypoxia. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

You need to have more Youth involved in changing your light bulbs. The lack of youth in lightbulb changing is going to ruin this sport. Nah, what you need are the new high power LED bulbs. They don't burn out and they don't need changing. It's easy, all you need to do is to go to the FAA (or your country's equivalent) and get it certif...... oh, never mind. Tony V. |

Bye Andreas It should be noted that the PW-5 must have special bulbs that don't suck all that much dark. A impromptu "field test" some years back, did provide strong evidence that PW-5 bulbs may instead suck bulls, and as such tend to be an irresistible bovine attractant and aphrodisiac. Speaking of bulls, a recent Bull SB strongly recommended that no matter how many semi-hypoxic pilots one may have at their disposal to assist, one should never to try to change anything on a bull that even remotely resembles a bulb. all the best, bumper |

And after everything is said and done, some sucker is going to run to
WAL-MART to try purchase the cheapest high quality bulb possible, and then he will run to COSTCO and demand that they sell him a cheapest high quality socket...since they don't have one made in Germany for that price he will whip-up his "politus interaptus" to make a call to some friends and government entities and cry to them why everything is made in China.... |

Mal wrote: AHHH the boogie man. Don't talk about OUR tow pilots that way! Everybody knows that (in North America), you can't change a glider light bulb without a tow pilot. Having worked both ends of the rope, I can attest it IS much easier to change a bulb with the assistance of a tow pilot. Having also been flung off of the cliffs of Torrey, and having "flown out" from a six dollar winch launch at Elsinore, I can also attest that you can change a bulb with the assistance of a winch "pilot." However, it's usually not a bulb that will last long...akin to a "flash blulb." It's still fun, even in a 1-26! -Pete |
