have every day from one of the Austria team.
They had big... mehr

Yesterday was too windy for XC flying so Mike put on a spot
landing contest with $100 to the winner. It was quite funny to watch everyone
coming in from every direction (it was light and variable) and then butt-skid
in...only stand-up landings counted however. I flew around... mehr

52km too much. Well not for eight pilots, that is the news for now. Organisers
wanted to give us a goal day but it ended up with drifting over the flats at low
altitudes. Nurve game again and one wrong turn and you where on the ground.

the acoustic sensitivity is a composite of the vario threshold and the vario

As my cousin Peter was busy I decided to take the aluminum road
bike for a forty mile round trip up the
Boise Greenbelt from Garden City to the Lucky Peak dam at the end of the
