Ultimate Wing-tip camera

I wrote up a bit about the wing-tip camera I've been using for the past year. Everyone should have one - it's cheap, easy to mount, light, hands-free while flying - and it takes great pics!

I got tired of traveling to these fantastic hang gliding competitions and then getting so wrapped up in competing and performance...and coming home with no pictures of my adventures. I tried tethering a camera to my harness but I could never whip it out in time to get the shot I wanted before having to let go and regain control. And then I was so vain and disappointed that I didn't have myself in those great pics.

Stop crushing your glider

A few years ago I received a couple of seat belt type straps from Rusty Whittly, Gunnison Gliders (970 641-9315), when I purchased a water proof ATOS travel bag. I really liked them. The wide seat belt material was great for my gliders. I loved (and still use) these straps.

Okay, nice racks is a bit cliche, but we have some great new, inexpensive Turbo Racks. Using a simple, strap-thru design the Turbo Racks are easy to use and can be quickly put on and taken off your car. No tools needed, no bolting to your car. The strap-thru design runs through your doors. I was concerned about water getting in via the strap. The manufacturer was concerned as well, so they tested the racks in rainy conditions. The Turbo Racks passed with flying colors. The manufacturer did say they don’t recommend shooting a high powered hose at your car!

The day is cancelled again due to strong winds - more of the same forecast for tomorrow. Could it be a 3 task comp? RESULTS
