Towing
|
First tow for a while so a lot of setting up tow points etc.. |
No Picture for this one. |
| Inglewood 29 April 2006 Towing again
|
Nice easy tow in the afternoon |
|
| Inglewood 01 May 2006 Towing | Middle of the day tow and was a bit lumpy. Released early and flew downwind leg without managing to find any thermals. Bugger!!! |
|
| Tamborine 06 May 2006 | Flying the New Shark so a bit cautious of landing too far out. A couple of good thermals away from the gaggles and then out to explore in front. Wanted to make the Model field but cut a bit short by bad sink. |
|
| Beechmont 19 May 2006 | Flying the Shark again and managed to get to base at around 3500ft. Flew back but wasn't too confident of heading into the valley by myself and big rain clouds out there. Got hammered by sink on the way back and never recovered. |
|
| Mullimbimby 17 June 2006 No track log for this one. :) |
Started a para glider conversion course for those sites where you need a hankerchief to fly under. Stiaan is doing the full course and is here for the full week. |
|
| Andy and Cedars Para Flight
|
This is Andy's from Poliglide paramotor track as requested by Stiaan |

| Tambo 1 July 2006
|
Started out on launch a bit too strong and gusty for the XT. A few litespeeds were flying but I decided to go for coffee and see how the day progressed. When I came back the wind was around 10 to 15knots and I launched for a fly. |
No piccy today but was flying the XT165 |
| Tambo 22 Sept 2006 | Nice hour or so fly with a bit of North to mix it up somewhat. Inversion around 2800 | |
| Beechmont 07 October 2006 | A quick fly in the mroning before the paragliding competition kicked off the hill. After that it was like flying with a school of jellyfish.. Went out to the southern spur hoping to gain height for a top landing but didn't get there. Bombed out and the Bro came and picked me up from the bottom. After that went back to the top where Duster and he flew around a bit. | |
| Tambo 08 October 2006 | Hmmm... a bit northerly but was worth a try. You can see by the circles that the wind was a little strong and from the north. Managed to crack through the inversion/shear at around 2800ft and got to 3500 before heading off for a look. Landed at the model field | |
| Manilla 09 Feb 2007 | A tasty piece of cross country at the Manilla HG State Titles. The best bit was flying over the granite outcrops about halfway to turn point 1. I spent a fair bit of time over the town as my GPS lost turn point 1 so thought I'd cover all possibilities of where it was. Some nice flying with eagles. |

| Inglewood 06 May 2007 | A bit of aerotow fun at Inglewood Fly in. Is this the one where "Kitty" got dropped from 1500ft?? |
|
| Tambo 22 September 2007 | Nice fly with Nikki as driver. A bit of thermal activity to left of launch on spur before heading off to try my luck at the Model field. | |
