Up close video of launching, aerotowing, and landing at Forbes
Airfield on the second practice day before the Forbes Floodlands Hang Gliding
Championships which start on January 2nd, 2011.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuVabzvGdNE mehr

There are pilots galore here at Forbes, some taking the cross
country clinic, some getting their aerotow endorsement, and the majority here to
free fly and get ready for the upcoming competition starting the 2nd of January,
Sunday. Americans are starting to show up, and there are lots of international
pilots here, Swiss, Italian, German,... mehr

The air field has dried out although there is plenty of water in
the fields around it. The winds were forecasted to be six to eight knots on the
ground, but they were fourteen gusting to nineteen at 10 AM. As I pedaled to the

over the tops of cumulus clouds. The sky... mehr

The air field dried out enough by noon that we were able to get
through a gate and on a gravel road at the south end of our launch area between
the paved runway and our hangars. The
cu's started popping before noon and were building up as we got out to the
field.Curt Warren and Jonny Durand are teaching a cross country clinic with four... mehr

(site of the Airborne Gulgong Classic and often a goal for Forbes meets). At
Wellington (a turnpoint and town just before the small mountain range) we were
stopped by flooding. The previous two days had seen heavy down pours in Forbes
and in the general area. The water was... mehr

The morphed keel pocket/haulback fairing.
First day was a race, wind was on, pilots were keen. I am usually good at the
start gate but spent too much time practicing a critical move on the new course
