Not impressed with my first shots, I stopped and worked for about 20 minutes creeping through the tumble weeds to get as close as possible. The eagle was aware of me, but not intimidated like hawks or falcons that I have stalked before. I've found this to be true in the air too. The few times I've soared... mehr

It is quite unclear to me whether there will be a hang gliding competition in Florida this year. The Florida Ridge competition has always fed off the enthusiasm for the Flytec Championships at Quest Air. With no Flytec Championship this year, will the Florida Ridge meet happen?
There were tentative earlier signs that it would happen and there... mehr

Task one. On this day I placed eighth and had a generally great run. I was clever enough to take the first start time and skilled and lucky enough to be in the right spot at the start time to have a good start. A good start puts you with the good pilots. Good pilots help you go faster.
The task had plentiful lift and I took advantage of it,... mehr

Torre is accomplished (at 14, and he just went to a wakeboard camp with a World Champion, Josh Sanders, http://www.joshsanders.com/), and Hanna got her own board for... mehr

Despite the fact that we had only four days of task flying out of eight and that one of those days was cut short due to rain, we still had some excellent conditions flying here and great fun flying. I can't remember a contest that we've flown in this area where the lift was so consistent. I remember lots of times in previous years struggling... mehr

I reported earlier that Armand dislocated his shoulder in Rylstone. Well now he is rehabilitated enough to begin towing us in Forbes. Bill Moyes has two Dragonflies out there at Forbes ready to go after the Forbes Flatlands. Armand is ready to tow.
He is looking for a group of pilots (six or seven, say) who want to get towed up and fly at... mehr

The results.
Rain all night and then downpours in the morning. The day is called (I assume). They decided to score yesterday, as all the pilots were on the ground by the time the day was cancelled and it was felt by many pilots that the fairest thing to do was to score the day (in spite of the rules). We'll see if that stands. mehr
