West Coast Soaring Club

Thanks for the reminder Nicole.
Just did that.

We are lucky to have such an excellent resource.

Was this recorded by any chance?
If so, can someone point me to the link.

Thanks

I'm really not sure what more you're wanting from HPAC Martin. I agree that a new website is long overdue. However, the primary reason to have HPAC is to protect the landowners. No other insurer (USHPA, personal liability etc.) will cover our land owners. If you care about our landowners and their l...

I honestly have no idea who was involved in the collision, so I'm pretty impartial. I've never heard of anybody trying to get compensated for damage from a mid-air. I'd figure that Pilot#1 who lost his wing should be feeling pretty ashamed that with all his experience that he didn't avoid it. After...

If you take comps too seriously, yes I think you're right. But if you think of them as simply flying with friends with retrieve and emergency vehicles on standby and look at it as primarily a learning experience, then you can very much capture the essence of flying during these events. Most of my sp...

One of the problems with the extended frequencies above 146 is that most regular ham radios can't transmit on these. One either has to use specific commercial radios that are tuned to that particular frequency, which would make them useless for other frequencies, or modify your current ham radio to ...

Andrew,

I've had my lawyer take the wording from the HPAC waiver, then add a few extra sentences and then name everyone on the same waiver.

Amir

I just have one waiver that names: HPAC, myself and any associates, and "all land owners".

I'm not sure why you need a separate waiver for every entity.

If you're not aware, our flying site in Pemberton is under threat. This is arguably Canada's best and busiest paragliding site and its loss would be a huge blow to our sport. Blackcomb Helicopters has applied for a tenure to use our primary flying corridor to ferry mountain bikers around. As you kno...

I think there are a lot of pilots out there including myself who don't have the respect for how much effort has gone into building these sites. Tyler Hence why I said that having access to the old forum posts is valuable information for the club. There's a lot of wisdom that can be gleaned from pil...

Hey Tyler My question wasn't a challenge or defence of the old website. It was a simple question for which I was expecting a simple answer, but thanks for you detailed response. It makes complete sense. If you'll indulge me as a veteran of the WCSC, I have another: What happened to all the old posts...

Or as Nick Jones, the current acting president, says, maybe you should be bringing this up for discussion during the AGM. That's where the budget can be viewed, discussed and voted on. The HPAC "Spending Policy" is the annual budget which is developed by the BoD and voted upon by the membe...

An excellent article including interviews with M. Syndegaard, author and comp pilot, and Theurillat, Chrigel Maurier's X-Alps partner/sport psychologist.

Perhaps if you explain the deficiencies of the current website it will give people a better idea of why it needs a revamp.
