It's cloudy, the moisture hangs in the air, the cloud base is low, there are mid level clouds also. The winds are pretty strong at launch, but not too strong. It looks like there are plenty of mid level clouds and low hanging clouds out to the west. How could there be any lift at 8:30... mehr

I'd called Jonny Durand Jr. on Sunday morning at 7 AM, and following his advice made sure that I got to the Beechmont launch at 8:10 AM (7:10 AM Day Light Savings Time, which most of you use for summer hours, but which is not used here in Queensland). I was there first (other than... mehr

We have been looking at the news reports with some degree of envy regarding rainfall on the east coast the last few months! It has been totally dry here, no rain this month at all and only a few drops that failed to settle the dust in January. Many dams and most lakes are absolutely... mehr

Bei Spiegel-Online findet Ihr einen interessanten Artikel über die Malaien-Gleitflieger, die Könige der aller gleitenden Säugetiere segeln bis zu 100m zwischen den Baumwipfeln Südostasiens. mehr

Die Hochries bei Rosenheim hat sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem gefragten Ausgangspunkt für Streckenflüge gemausert. An guten Tagen gelingt der alpine Sprung ins Pinzgau oder nach Zell am See. Wers lieber flach mag, setzt bei passendem Wind zum Rundflug Richtung Chiemsee an. Das richtige Fleckchen Erde also, um einen WalkFly Wettbewerb wie... mehr

We are up from the Gold Coast (as you can see using the link above) and down a bit from Beechmont and Mt. Tamborine. It's about half an hour to Beechmont and similar to Mt. Tamborine.

The new software for scoring, FS, was announced and demoed at the CIVL plenary last week. FS is now at version 1.1 and generally available for download.
The FS system is made to do one thing, and do it well - scoring competitions. It will not have much use for the general pilot. If you want fancy 3D... mehr
