Checklist for maintenance kit

John,

I was going to wait until the thread was quiet for a while and then
grind it through the SNR distillerator, but I see you already did
that. Thank you!

I figure I'll end up with maybe 20% of it in my kit at most!

Next up: the landout kit.^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HI didn't say that

But why did you need a tow vehicle during the contest ?
Gotta be a story there...
See ya, Dave

The tow vehicle was my Chevy Malibu (old yellow) crew car. I needed
it to haul water, to get back to the motel, and to go looking for
beers. It actaully died at the water faucet leaving my crew puzzled
when it cranked for ever but didn't start. She walked back to the
glider and said it sounded funny. The Chevy 305 uses a composite
sprocket on the camshaft and the teeth had parted company with the
gums. It only had about 200,000 miles on it at that time. I got rid of
it at 248,000 miles when the rebuilt transmission died. The engine
was still going strong and I sold the car to the tow truck driver that
came to haul it away!

Suggestions are most welcome. I'm currently preparing an article on
the subject for "Soaring".

Thanks for the link John. With some downwind dashes on the calendar
this year, my crew thinks I should assemble this before the
maintenance kit.

If you have some type of food in the survival package, where do you
store it between flights? Things like "energy bars" or any food not
in "armoured wraps", i.e. metal cans of some sort, could invite little
critters into your glider and/or trailer. So, I would suggest keeping
the survival kit, at least the food in the kit, away from the glider
and trailer when not flying.

I made the mistake of leaving some granola bars and peanut butter
crackers in both my glider and trailer and the mice were VERY happy.
Cleaning up wasn't cheap. I had all the gel coat stripped and the
glider refinished, just to get their caca off of my glider :-)

Who said that ATC has no sense if humor? Look at the intersection names:

They are building a new runway there; the fixes will be Ican, Has, and
Chessburger.
