However, its a tax on glider ownership. If support costs are what he says A pay as you go system would be fair and cover costs. Instead he has chosen to raise rather a lot of money for the Weber group at the expense of owners of older gliders. When does a glider in his eyes become "older". The biggest danger is other manufacturers trying the same easy earner if he gets away with it. I do feel it should be challenged, as should the apparent monopoly on tax collection by one UK distributor My feelings about Herr Weber are probably not suited to a public forum.

However, I did have to install Google plug in and reboot the computer. The race definition was not too good, and some controls did not seem to work. Race began at 6pm UK time and Graham Parker (No Not the weatherman, the NZ pundit!) took an early lead, but ignored local advice and ended up running downhill away fro the mountainous TP1 and "Death" valley. On another subject, what do all LS and DG owners think about the imposition of a £220 annual charge for updated manuals(mandatory says EASA) ??
