I just got here a little over a week ago, just in time for the Manilla XC open competition. I flew tandem with Cookie all week struggling in the light conditions while getting use to flying tandem again. We had many bomb outs and a few short flights. The second to last day of the comp I received my new... mehr

CIVL keeps track of you in their database using your CIVL_ID number. Meets will start using your CIVL_ID number when they register you. This goes for anyone who wants to get WPRS ranking points, or who wants a meet to count more for those pilots that do care about their World Ranking or want to get into a... mehr

Thanks should go to top hang gliding competition pilot, and Moyes hang glider developer Gerolf Heinrichs, for his valuable contributions and offers of help in the pitch stability discussions, for his support of the promotion of the Sport Class alongside Class 1 events, and for his concern over safety... mehr

Computers can do some amazing things. But they may never outstrip the human mind. Stephen Wiltshire illustrates this, literally. He is an autistic man with an incredible ability. He can see an entire cityscape and reproduce it perfectly on paper. Watch him draw Rome after flying over it in a helicopter.... mehr

Das Herz der Spanier schlägt nicht nur für Tappas variadas, blutigen Stierkampf und seine Hoheit König Juan Carlos dem Ersten. Auch die hohe Kunst des Tumblings, Infinity und Misty Flip wissen die Südländer zu schätzen.

Apparently, I don't know daylight savings time. So ignore my rantings about that in the last two articles on Beechmont. Let's just say that launching at 9 AM is pretty cool and launching at 7 AM (sun time) seems possible on the right day here. I have launched at 9:30 AM (DST) in... mehr

As Scott Barrett pointed out the other day, hang gliding instructors have to deal  all the time with the fear that their students reasonably feel. By encouraging their students to press ahead with things that they are uncomfortable with, but that are just one step beyond what they have done before enough times to have captured how to do it,... mehr

Armand went out to Forbes again to tow up pilots. They took advantage of the Dragonflies stored out there. He writes:
On Saturday, Grant pinned off at about 300m. I told Tove about it. So, she pinned off at about 200m and climbed to cloud base.
On Sunday, Steve (a pilot with out five flights) in a Wills Wing Falcon 195 soared from 10:30 to... mehr

I wrote earlier how it would be great if we had an additional RASP for the Mt. Beauty area, and not just for a big chunk of Victoria and NSW. Of course, we love the fact that we have any RASP at all and very much appreciate the sailplane pilots who provide this service.
That said it... mehr

A new version of the OzGAP 2005 and GAP 2000 scoring program, that fixes a "bug." The previous version set the TimeValidity to 1 if no one made goal (and let the DistanceValidity value devalue the day). This is in accordance with the GAP documentation.
RACE actually devalues the TimeValidity value using the ratio of maximum distance... mehr

Das Video stellt den Unfall von einem uneingehängten Drachenflieger nach, geflogen wurden die Szenen wohl von einem “Stuntpiloten”, der Zweck des Videos ist nicht bekannt. mehr
