http://www.guarnieritrophy.it/index.php?dest=delta&sub=result&task=delta_task_1&lang=enThe weather turned good with light winds on Sunday and a cloud base of over
10,000'. Thirty to forty pilots showed up for the day and a 128 km task was
called which took us up and down the valley in the Dolomites back and forth
between Fonzaso... mehr

The forecast was ominous. A north wind at 7 knots at 4,000' rising
to 13 knots at 8,000'. Launch height was almost 5,000' and the high mountains,
over 8,000', were just to our north. The lift looked like it would be good as
would cloud base, but would we be rotored by the north winds?
The report of the winds on launch were that there weren't... mehr

When I was forced off the hill side and out into the main valley
near Belluno I had to find a place to land. There were a number of options, but
the country side was hilly, the fields a mixture of corn and grass and electric
wires, and a semi dry river bed. I had time to check out four or five possible
fields and to make a decision. It was... mehr

I recently witnessed a Hang Gliding landing clinic held in Salt
Lake by my son, Ryan Voight. The experiment was a total success with 9 pilots
attending (willing to shell out funds to learn to be better landers!) Which I
find refreshing!Every participant went away with better landing skills (and the... mehr

On Thursday the clouds were low at about 4,000' on the Montegrappa
launch as we looked toward the mountain from the LZ. They were also quite
diffuse, soft looking. The forecast was for light lift.After we drove up the switchbacks of Strada General Gardino to launch we saw that a few paraglider pilots
were managing to soar so clearly flying... mehr

We drove up to the hang glider launch at Mount Grappa, but I wasn't feeling
right about flying, so we just waited around until Mathias and Heinz launched.
The cloud base was low but there were vast amounts of cu's out in the flats
which were very enticing. A couple of... mehr

You get a look at the ramp launch on Montegrappa, the hill side, and nearby
flatlands, and a bit of flying over Bassano del Grappa itself. The video is a
little over two minutes.

http://icaro2000.com/Products/Hanggliders/Z9/Z9.htm#26The Z9 continues to impress me as an excellent glider. I got a chance to fly
again on Wednesday for a couple of hours flying out over the flats as well as on
the hill side at Montegrappa and the glider was very responsive. I had to climb
up from low over a church after one of my... mehr

We're flying at Grappa Mountain in northeastern Italy for a few
days before heading for
a weekend competition in Feltre to the northeast and then way south for the
pre-Worlds in Montecucco

Robert Nichele's previous family home in Cassola near the town of Bassano
del Grappa, and the launch and
LZ are only a... mehr

I hadn't flown a Icaro 2000 Laminar topless glider since 1997. Things have
improved quite a bit since then. I had my first chance to check out the new Z9
with my first flight at Grappa Mountain on Tuesday.
The first thing I noticed was that the wide down tubes made for a very

On Saturday we, Franco Rinaldi, Nuccia, Belinda and I visited the
Icaro 2000 factory and the Club Icaro LZ. I was there to take delivery of a
glider for use at the pre-Worlds and to see the LZ. The weather conditions were
not perfect for a flight.
