How Long Does Tamazeoam Taje To Work

Moselle Open 08

Hi folks, here's my
too short "report" on the Moselle Open 08.
first Task
Friday was started in Klüsserath a vineyard hillside about 160m in altitude. The task was to fly along the edge with four turning points and the thermal mixed with strong tailwind down the Mosel to look for further connections, to finally come to an airfield in the target, which was 20 pilots, including me. The length of the task was indeed little more than 30 km, but this does not change the fact that it was very informative with the big fly.

second Task
Back in Klüsserath, but in almost complete calm. That's great but in the Alps, but on a slope with a low starting height is a little opportunity turn up. Andreas Malecki, Philippe Broers and a few other top drivers is the impossible yet succeeded in the former, it even managed to finish (50 km). The others on the slope could be amazed and envious look high.

third Task
This time it is far from the headquarters, after much back and forth for Maring. The turn up there proves to be difficult than expected. Cirrus clouds from the shadows and the reported winds reached up to 9 knots are not in any way. I, for one pitch in the choice of starting phases and put me well on a little too stupid booze, from three times, not much has been made otherwise. Meanwhile, fighting in some high and can go on line. My fourth start will be my last. I manage to turn up though, but very mixed and not really high enough to fly away. But then I may end up 5 km behind and run for 2 hours before. 'm Quite disappointed, even more so after I learned that there are 30 people managed to finish and some have landed close to it. What I learn from it

:
- not possible alone take off, but in a crowd
- can not move too much and then be forced with insufficient height to fly

Actually, it's the basics that any reasonably know clever would, but the day before left their traces (short sleep, heat, waiting ...), because I tend to neglect.

So, I really wanted to take me shorter, at least it's already 22:45, tomorrow take an exam behind me and grab for the Bavarian.

Unfortunately my Didgicam spins, so no pictures. But it will probably turn up sooner or later a video on the DHV site.

I hope I see one or the other Breitenberg to Ascension to our local Martin to fly.

Spring Awakening

approach Nelson (NZL) after a short distance flight über den Rainforest

Ich sitze im Flugzeug und bewundere die rote Steppe von Australien, die so endlos scheint . Zwanzig Stunden später überfliege ich die Schweizer Alpen, via Hinwil nach Zürich.
"Ach ja hier ist ja unser Sponsor Späelti AG Zuhause" es wird mir warm ums Herz als mir bewusst wurde dass ich schon sehr bald wieder mein geliebten Späelti Omega7 fliegen kann. Doch die Alpen sind noch im tiefsten Winter.

Einen Tag nach meiner Rückreise aus Neuseeland, stand schon ein Regio-fliegen an. Leider machte der Föhn uns einen strich durch die Rechnung und so durften wir Theorie "Wettkampftaktik" von Martin Scheel und Chrigel Maurer geniessen. Vielen Dank! Es war sehr Lehrreich!

Schon sehr bald kann ich das gelernte im Wettkampf umsetzen.....

How Do You Make A Monk's Cord Bracelet

plains flying with Spälti Omega 7

Nachdem die Wettervorhersagen für den Sonntag immer besser wurden, fuhr ich am Sonntag früh mit ein paar Freunden zum Tegelberg.
Die Startbedingungen am nach Nordwesten gerichteten Startplatz waren nicht optimal, da der Wind meistens thermisch bedingt aus Südwesten kam. In einer der wenigen Nullwindfasen I could then start and at the ridge directly to the base in 2500 turn up.

Schongau and Peiting.

We had planned to fly away together was announced to wait now, because the wind was starting to deteriorate immediately after my start again significantly. Schlieslich came out the other and it could turn up to me. Together we went to Trauchberg from where we wanted to fly to the lowlands. Unfortunately, our group has decimated the Trauchberg to 2 people. Together we flew to the lowlands David helped me find the first to find thermals. Together we went to cloud street that ran from west to east.

condensing clouds below me.

at the 2nd Cloud of Cloud Street David went sadly to land there between us, before him, a great cloud had built up that threatened to suck him. From then on I was on my own and I scanned the street at the clouds over Lake Starnberg and Ammersee down to the level of Blomberg. Hier musste ich mich dann entscheiden ob ich wieder zurück an die Berge, oder weiter im Flachland fliegen wollte. Ich entschied mich fürs Flache weil dort einfach mehr Sonne zu sehen war. Hier kam ich dann zum ersten Mal richtig Tief. In einiger Entfernung sah ich dann einen Steinbruch den die Sonne schon die ganze Zeit angeschienen hatte, an dem dann auch der rettende Bart stand.

Wieder an der Basis gings wieder weiter eine Wolkenstraße entlang an Bad Tölz und am Tegernsee vorbei. Mit dem Chiemsee, meinem Ziel schon in Sichtweite machte ich dann noch einmal maximale Höhe und wagte den Flug ins blaue Loch zwischen Irschenberg und Chiemsee, was sich dann wie erwartet proved to be a mistake. So I stood for half an hour later, after 102km and 5 hours flight time on a country road in the boonies and had to organize my retrieval. Fortunately I had was that day my friend Andrew, with his parents in Bad Tolz the dragon towing. With which I could then go home.
The flight really means a lot personally because I've always dreamed of Tegelberg the lowlands and as far as possible to fly in the direction of Chiemsee. That this has achieved so quickly must be well on Spälti Omega 7)

Swiss League Cup - 5th Vionnaz April 2008

After only two Swiss League Cup dates have been canceled, we went last Saturday 5.4. take Vionnaz after the first task of this season under the wings. From Spälti Advance Omega 7 Team Sergio and I were there.

Unfortunately, this day should not lead to a score ...

numerous pilots, gathered at 9:30 at the landing site. In the afternoon a cold front was announced and so had time to start. As at bus we are comfortable for a briefing and then driven to the launch site. The route was set approximately 35km.

short by lunch were the first in the air and the task was opened at 12.40. Initially with a reliable thermal Boye was the first to be reached quickly. The increasing shade and increasing wind, but the conditions were increasingly difficult. The second direction in Champéry Boye was then just do more to get.

Finally, after about 1.5 h were all pilots on the ground again. Most (including me) has to's in Vall d'Illiez just before the second Boye ca. 25km parkiert. Auch ohne Wertung war der Flug sicher spannend, und im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Gebieten in der Schweiz konnten wir doch immerhin einen Ordentlichen Flug machen.

So bleibt nur das hoffen auf besser Flugtage. Vielleicht kommt ja der Frühling dieses Jahr doch noch.

Hier ein Video mit ein paar Impressionen vom Flug:
