Chucky Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Did anyone else get their Aug 09 mag and find that pages 9-16 and 49-56 are missing, and pages 17-24 and 41-48 are printed twice ? Or was I the only lucky one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 You are the lucky one Chucky - I haven't even received mine yet ! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwerty Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I am currently in communication with Australia Post regarding delivery times. I have recieved my last 3 mags between 2 and 3 weeks after they were posted. Australia Post provides a (golfing term deleted) service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I got mine today Chucky. Pages 9 to 16 include a new feature which is full of jokes. They plan to do this every six months. Sorry Chucky (Only joking - mine was OK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeK Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 maybe 9-16 were the pages celebrating the approval of the CTA endorsements ....... Nope, OK here too .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redair Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ha! Missing pages in the August issue!! I should be so lucky.... I only received the July issue on the 27th, so I'm expecting the August issue to turn up around November!!! And then it'll probably only contain pages 9-16 and 49-56!!!! Redair.

Guest Cloudsuck Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 By the time I get mine each month, It is almost the next month. It infuriates me that they are on the news agent shelf three weeks before I get mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEON Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I thought it was a marketing method to have it in Newsagents a week or two before it came via post so one would buy a second copy:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest basscheffers Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I receive them pretty late also. In fact, July only came in this week. Other months it is not much sooner. But on the same day, I also got the August issue, but that might have been because it also came with an invoice for my ad. So I guess that if you pay a couple of hundred bucks extra each month, you'll get it before anyone else! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Looks like you got a collectors item Chucky - could be worth millions..... regards :big_grin::big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Got mine today and it is all there. Pretty obvious from the editorials that Lee and Mick keep an eye on what is posted here, so we do have some influence. All we have to do is ensure that what we say is sensible and well thought out.

Well, it arrived today.... and has all 27 pages. Only kidding, all the pages were there so I will have to retract my earlier statement. Redair.

Guest ozzie Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 got mine today gee ya think they are really tyring to sell that ELB thingy' actually i can't see why there is so much negativity in mandatory use for x country. i'll order one for xmas bonus and carry it not only flying around the paddock but also for jumping, paragliding, trail biking, chess. there a good thing! support the ruling. if no one was watching you could go in beyond trees at the end of the strip and and who would know.. as for the missing pages not missing much mostly adds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sain Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 And i'm sure the advertisers supporting our hobby will be delighted by that, and feel inclined to send $$$ again for advertising next month. I wonder if they were given a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Do you have to get an ELB or will a personal locator beacon do the trick. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest basscheffers Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This is the list of approved models. PLBs are fine, as long as they are 406. http://beacons.amsa.gov.au/beacon-models.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest basscheffers Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Whats the difference??? Technology wise, nothing. But it seems the term ELB/ELT is used to fixed aircraft installations, that can be armed before flight and activate on impact - if the impact is hard enough! PLB is used to indicate a hand-held unit. That's the way I understand it anyway. The terms are used pretty ambigously, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
