November Club Meeting

 

Our November meeting is tomorrow night, Tuesday November 2nd at 7pm. Weather looks good to have it outside in the LZ but will be 46 degrees. That is not too cold for me so my vote is the LZ but how does everyone else feel about that? If the consensus is too cold then we can meet at George’s or someone can host.

Thoughts? Votes?

I don't recall an exclusion mentioned in the forms I fill out when I remit the RST to the state.? But, I will check into it some more.

Did you know that... Connecticut exempts aviation parts from sales tax?

I didn't. No tax on downtubes, varios, GPS, etc.

I got to test this out recently buying parts for my glider. Connecticut exempts aviation parts from sales tax. What I discovered was that it's one thing to get them to accept a resale permit, but quite another some of their weird forms exempting things such as aviation parts. But it can be done!

?

So if you're in Connecticut, make sure you don't get charged tax on your aviation parts.

Re: About Sales Tax

 

I don't think anybody in CT sells hang gliding equipment at this point anyway. (Well, other than winch tow releases.)

Tanner closing

Matthew Carr
 

Rhett is closing up his towing operation a little early this year.? Right now, his last day at Tanner is planned to be either this Thursday (10/21) or this Saturday (10/23), depending on the forecast.
?
I will post when a final day has been selected.
?
If you have any equipment at Tanner stored in the Dragonfly hanger that you want to take home for the winter, this would be the last chance.? Gliders stored in the new hanger can actually be picked up any time.
?

Kind regards,

Matthew Carr
