The club was bustling with members keen to catch up with some of the maintenance tasks.
The club's new load cell was commisioned and put to good use weighing both of the club's K13s. As this task required both gliders to be derigged to weigh the wings seperately, and then reassembled ready for Saturday, this was not a 5 minute job.
By now the members were into their stride taking gliders apart so the K8 was derigged and installed onto the newly refurbished K8 open trailer. The purpose of this test was to ensure that the trailer and equipment is ready for use to retrieve the K8 / K6 gliders from distant fields when our new crop of cross country pilots venture away from the airfield
To make the test as realistic as possible, 3 of our physically smaller members were volunteered ( press ganged? ) to load the trailer while the rest of the members offered helpful comments ( otherwise known as rude comments and barracking ). The test was successful and the glider was reassembled ready for Saturday.
