IQQ - Alto Hospicio, Palo Buque (GndHandling)

First day together with Ralf's group: just 7 people/ 5 pilots (including Ralf)...
After a 'tour' of the LZs we headed for Alto Hospicio. Rather starng conditions prevailed: low cloud base, which is absolutely unusual for this time of the year. But after a while it cleared away and everybody could fly. For me it was just a 'sledder' down to Playa Huayquique, as I had a problem with my harness :-(

waiting for the clouds to clear...

Playa Huayquique

In the afternoon out to Palo Buque. Ralf showed me the Cobra-launch and I tried for quite a while. Actually too long as in the end I was competely exhausted and made just short flight low along the dune. But it has been a very worthwhile 'session' - to be continued.
