The 1st year of the LanzaXCamp has just ended with Kip Stone as
happy ending. Here my conclusion:

I am happy and relieved too that all nine clinic weeks have worked out fine
liked planned without any incidents! It was a great new experience to make these
island flying adventures not just by myself but together as a gaggle with good
team spirits.

In fact the XC flying here was always challenging with all kind of conditions
and very consistent weather conditions: ridge racing, wave flying, thermal
flying, flatland flying, top landings, ground handling (hands on speed bar)
flight- and video analyses.

Statistics logbook Tom: 9 weeks of Xcamp, 58 flights, 60 hrs airtime, 840 km, 9
different sites with pilots from 6 different nations like Denmark, Italy,
Switzerland, England, Germany and USA.

After all I can say that the first year of the LanzaXCamp was a success with
very motivated, cooperative, skilled and thankful pilots. Not one of them got
hurt neither one single upright was broken. At this point many thanks to all of
them, the good flying together and shared moments!

All three Moyes Litespeed gliders (RX3.5, RX4 and personal RS3.5 full carbon)
will stay on the island waiting for next year's LanzaXCamp happening from 4th of
December 2017 till 3rd of march 2018. More information out soon...

Pilots are welcome to join from all over the world to fly this unique place
located in the Atlantic Ocean - the volcanic island in the wind.
