Tandem flight on kids TV
Submitted by oyvind on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 08:41.I flew a tandem aerotow some weeks back, it was filmed for a kids TV show, and broadcast yesterday morning. You can find the clip at the production company web site http://www.fabelaktiv.no
Klick on “Hut I Heita” on the right on the front page to view the clip.
It was fun to make it, and we had perfect conditions with sunny fall weather and calm winds. I hope we gained some publicity, and maybe some kids will grow up and want to become hangglider pilots in the future!

Submitted by Avtor Matjaz on Sun, 08/10/2008 - 05:20.So we have come to an end of Kobala open competition. Last day we had a task of 86 km. The day looked great in the morning but the clouds came so we started in a zero lift and found the first lift 3 km away from the start. Primož Gričar won the day before Elio Cataldi and Stanislav Galovec. Elio won the competition overall and
Primož became a Slovenian national winner.
Here are some fotos from the price giving ceremony.
