We are scheduling an ALL DAY WORK PARTY for Saturday, 10 May 2014 to get our gliders ready for soaring season. We will start at 9:00am and BASA will provide lunch. Ideally, this would have been planned much earlier in the year but we've been playing catch up with all the glider maintenance issues and it is what it is. We'll plan another one in the fall at the end of the season. We will also be much more proactive about getting the annuals scheduled over the winter months instead of having a mad rush to get them done right before the spring soaring season.
All BASA members are expected to contribute to the club by participating in at least one work party every year or your flying privileges are suspended. The club has been a little lax on enforcing that rule and we've been relying on the efforts of a few members to do everything. It's time for more people to step up and get involved. Once you have participated in a work party (or contributed to the club in some other way) we'll update the member roster to indicate your participation.
We've identified the following tasks that need to be completed. We really need a big turnout to get everything done. With enough people attending we should be able to get everything done. If you can't stay for the whole day that's OK... Just help out as much as you can.
1CH:
1. Wash and wax trailer exterior, inventory contents
2. Wash and wax glider
6DS:
1. Wash and wax glider
5KM:
1. Wash and wax trailer exterior
2. Wash and wax glider
3. Clean out, inventory, and organize trailer contents
4. Troubleshoot ballast indicator on front panel (electrical)
5. Purchase lug wrench for spare tire
6. Fix gas struts on trailer front hatch
7. Change glider tires (if not already done)
8. Remove GPS Nav from front instrument panel
9. Install new LXNav V3 Varios in front and rear instrument panels
If there are other maintenance issues you know of please let us know and I'll add them to the list.
We will block off the schedule for the gliders for the day. If we finish with the tasks early the members participating can go fly.
