Braunwald

Originally I had planned to test the new Advance Epsilon 8-29 today. It has a weight range up to 140kgs and is said to have a very easy handling on launch. But unfortunately I have not been able to organize one of the few demo-gliders in this size...
So together with Andy (and my Rise2) we went to Braunwald, as site very easily accessed: the TO is less than 100m from the cable railway station, and it was already free of snow (contrary to higher sites like Fanas, Fronalp). Site details here.  
With my 'new' launch technique I got away without problems :-))

Unfortunately, there has been an inversion just above lauch, which I have not been able to break through (like many others). But still a nice flight on a beautiful day!

LZ (the 'round' meadow above my rt boot); at 2 o'clock from my rt boot: car park and cable railway station

On the way back, we stopped at 'Kerenzerberg', a soaring site at the entrance to the 'Glarnerland'. But we didn't fly as we judged the conditions to be unsuitable...
