they are still out there
I got a pair of new PG boots. I thought I would break them in by hiking up the bench. On the way back down I was passing through a part of the trail that was about 35 cm wide with scrub brush on either side about a meter high. I heard a rattle. It was two fast steps before I could slow enough to tur...

Abandoned glider free for the taking. The sail is probably poor but I believe the air-frame is in useful condition. It is available for inspection. Talk to Jay in the LZ.

an adventure
An adventure, sort of. I went flying today. My second flight. My second month in Australia. The wind was south east and Stanwell Park was working. Stanwell is a beach site. The coast line in Australia (at least the part I am familiar with) is many kilometers of cliffs punctuated by a few beaches. Th...

different way to fly
I had my first Dragonfly lesson today. Bill and I are out at Forbes to do some hanger work. In the early part of the day, when the winds were still light, I tooled around the paddock for about an hour. The first lesson is always puttering around similar to ground handling on a hang glider. It was ha...

strange but true
There is a lot of interest in Australia about the American Presidential election. I learned today that Australians are fined if they do not cast a ballot in their elections.

hook in faliure (almost)
My normal procedure is to hook in my harness to the glider and then get into my harness. A new step was added to the procedure because my new radio PTT is hard wired and needs to be dealt with. I remember looking at my hang strap and back up. I remember screwing my carbineer closed. I walked up to l...

driver's perspective
Nice account Chippy. The only thing I can add is that my pilots are taking good care of me. I'm in one of two states: driving... or no conditions to do so.

Regarding weather
Many pilots use the weather forecasting system to decide whether to fly or to estimate how good (or bad) the day will be. The predictors are calculated using several parameters like temperature, moisture content and atmospheric pressure. The mathematical models, of which there are several, give diff...

2016 Big Spring
Practice day: The weekend before I replaced the forward section of my keel and did an inspection while the sail was off. I took a practice tow from Mick Howard to make sure I got it back together right. I pinned off early. My tow skills were rusty and Mick has some advice for me at the end of the da...

found nose cone
Yellow nose cone found weekend of June 18. It does not belong to Don. It is probably from a WW glider. Notice the string on the trailing edge.

sleep
Day after Spring Air. I didn't sleep well at all last night. Every time I rolled over in bed, the 3rd place spot landing medallion would choke me.

my name is oh---jay and I'm a launch blower. it has been a few years now but the same thing has happened to me. As I recall, I had a reasonable run and 10 feet out my glider is turned to the left. As my feet were already off the ground, I shifted my weight hard right. I flew out of it but just barel...
