I took a bunch of design detail photos, probably not what you're
looking for:

Thanks, Bob K.

Thanks, that was quite interesting and better than nothing.

On a wider note, it's quite possible to make conferences accessible
for more than just those who can go. Presentations can be put on the
web as ppt or pdfs, and audio of the presentation can be recorded and
distributed as a podcast (much more can be done -- live streaming,
video podcasts etc. but that's all trickier to execute and not really
needed).

It's a shame more conferences don't provide "remote coverage" in this
way. Yes, much of what a conference is about is the face-to-face chats
and networking, but saving the presentations in this way would be of
benefit to people who attended and want to look up details afterwards
too, I bet.

Ah well, I can dream...

I agree we should be sure the 2010 convention has recorded sessions,
and we may have a budget. Ping Promotion & Development Committee.

There are some images of the winches in the winchdesign yahoo group
for those interested in winching.

Heres some pictures I took of the Cherokee II and Cherokee RM at the
Southwest Soaring Museum. Ive got some pictures of the Rhonbussard on
my camera at home, just need to get enough of a break from school to
get them uploaded.

That Cherokee RM won the Moriarty club XC award one year. When it was
being flown regularly the wing skins were smoother. There was one
particular area in the leading edge that was bad, but once in the sun,
the leading edge would smooth out a bit and would not have the dips
you can see now.
