XC in the Niederen Tauern (39)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 648x, Added: 13.07.2010The wind was coming like the last days frim north – not so good for our region. And the clouds start building very early and strong – we had to be fast. The military airport gave us the permission to cross the valley of Pöls and the track to Seckau. Martin and me climed up the side peak of the Greim – in Styria – and start flying east. It was not that easy like we aspected, sometimes my At...

Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1091x, Added: 28.05.2010The weather forcast for Austria was bad – so we travelled some kilometres south to Slovenjia.

Montegrappa Open 2010 (77)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1251x, Added: 10.04.2010The season started with the fair in Bassano. Like always we enjoyed the beginning of spring there. Saturday was nice for flying, although the cloud base was very deep – but thermal works perfect. At the fair you found every important producer – all of them showed there newest stuff. Sky Paragliders showed the new harness for tandem flying, also the light harness with airbag called “Gi”, th...
Rescue packing with Tomas (67)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 865x, Added: 06.04.2010Rescue packing can be boring – not if you do it with Tomas. He came with Peter, they build up a nice rope system, and lot's of pilots become like kids. Just having fun…OK, for us it was fun, for Tomas and Peter it was work. And of course we got back save packed rescues!
A visit in Transylvania (40)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1033x, Added: 11.03.2010Nothing to fly in Austria, an invitation for a festival in Sinaia, so we started to go to Rumania into the Carpathian mountains. In our bags we had paragliders, speedgliders and snowkites. In the beautiful landscape above Sinaia we found the best conditions for practising every kind of “wind-sports”. Lots of friendly locals helped us to spend nice days in Rumania. For the Paragliders the m...

Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1045x, Added: 22.01.2010OK, we have no strong thermal, but nice winter landscape, blue sky, and of course we enjoy every flight. Daniel made training how to start and land with ski, and I was happy to test Eris 3.
Happy new year in Norma, Italy (92)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1138x, Added: 07.01.2010The first trip this year brought us to Norma, south of Rome. The way is long, around 1.000 kilometres through nearly whole Italy you have to drive. I was keen on testing Atis 3 in thermal, comparing to other gliders, but it came different. Norma is a very nice, historic small city on a hill, 20 kilometres away from the sea. We made just few flights, strong wind from the wrong direction and...
New baby on the hill (40)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1324x, Added: 17.11.2009Imagine: you get a brand new glider, you are keen on flying, but the weather is shit, föhn, what could you do? There was just one chance: going to a little hill, with a little luck it could work. Than you are there, on the top of the hill, taking out the new wing of his prison – and than just takeoff. After some seconds airborn you can feel it – it works! It's flyable, and not just for sec...
Fall in Meduno, Italy (67)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 907x, Added: 27.10.2009Together with my new friend Anakis L I visited after years again Meduno in northern Italy. Bluesky and nice thermic made a nice weekend. Only the sky was very croweded, sometimes there were around 50 pilots in the air. Because the 26nd october is national day in Austria many Austrian escaped the cold mountains. For people who don't know it: Anakis is not just a beginner glider (LTF 1) – it...
the last weekends (55)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1526x, Added: 10.10.2009the last weekends we used to hike and fly. Some of use likes climbing, some walking, some just flying. But we all together like to be together and enjoy in a group our nice hobby. especially in autumn, when we walk and fly, it helps you to have a lightweight equipment. Times ago it was not nice for me to walk and fly. Now, with Skylight tourist or skywish combined with a light wing like An...
Sky & Dolomitenmann (43)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1961x, Added: 18.09.2009The results of Dolomitenmann competition you can find in the web. But beside there are some nice facts: for example about 20% of the pilots used sky harnesses and/or rescues, 10% used Sky gliders. That mean we have good position on the market, pilots likes our lightweight staff. More and more people like hike and fly, not just in comps. Therefore Sky has perfect equipments. Some more words...
Hiking in the alps (48)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 1414x, Added: 23.09.2009Herbert and Andreas walked at the peak of „Hirnkogel“ near Pusterwald, Styria. They sent me there nice pictures from their nice walk&fly. They where lucky, because they had just to carry up a cima and an Atis 2 – very light gliders :-)

Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 922x, Added: 09.08.2009A bus full of gliders, kites and beer, 6 people, some days off, this was the mix for this trip. First stop was in Kobarid, where we meet our friend in the camp. After a late evening flight from the Kuk we decided to sleep in Jelkin Hram, the others stayed in the camp. That was the reason for the wet tent… Next day we went further to Lijak, Novo Gorica. Very strong conditions- but nice flig...
Flying XC around the old (44)
Author: klaus1, Comments: 0, Viewed: 967x, Added: 13.07.2009After this long time of rain and bad weather I was happy to fly again in our club area. Weather wasn't that good, but after rain everything is nice. I was surprised to find thermal and was able to make small XC flight, with nice view to the military airport in Zeltweg and the old, famouse Österreichring. Very often I had to fly very low, in tricky valleys, under black clouds, but it gaves ...

Author: klaus1, Comments: 1, Viewed: 2072x, Added: 06.07.2009When we came to this flying party of the Flugschule Salzkammergut in St. Gilgen at the nice Wolfgang-lake the weather looked not so good. The first flight started with not so weak wind from behind – so we decided to celebrate on ground with beer. In the evening the air cleared up, and we decided to fly with the helicopter to the peak „Schafberg“; there we had strong wind from west, mean pe...

Author: klaus1, Comments: 2, Viewed: 1568x, Added: 02.06.2009This nice, unknown flying site near lake Garda is one of the nicest site I have been in Italy.
