Another 2 great days here in Arosa. Conditions for launching on both days required some patience (due to wind direction)...
Especially today I got off on the first try (forward launch) :-)) Also today I could climb twice above 3000m and soar above 'Seta' with the local eagle(s).
Since last week I have gotten myself a new 'toy': the Oudie 3 from Naviter. This is a navigation aid with a color screen, showing among many other things airspaces.
But, contrary to their claim, it is not very easily readable in bright sunlight.

Arosa in March -1: with Oli
For me the first 2 great days in Arosa this year with thermal tops close to 3000m.
But it was very cold, so after about 50 minutes I had to land, even with heated gloves :-((
Especially on the second day the visibility has been virtually unlimited.
It have been 2 relaxing days in excellent company, as my friend Oli had called the day before and asked if he could join me: any time again!
Also many thanks to Erich, Marlies, Peter, Kiwi +++ for always giving their time and helping me should I need some assistance! And I have to admit that it was needed, because so far I have not really mastered forward launching my AD Rise, whereas reverse launch is a piece of cake...
