Moderne Lichtbauweise - ein Workshop in 3 Teilen "Leeloo"

>>> for once a blog entry in German, as all 3 videos are in this language only - sorry! <<<

 

Im November hat Michael Nesler ein 3-teiliges Webinar zum Thema "moderne Leichtbauweise" durchgeführt. Michael ist ua auch bekannt als Konstrukteur von (SWING-)Schirmen, Sicherheitstrainer und Autor von vielen Artikeln rund ums Thema Gleitschirm.

Arosa (more)

(Saturday) ...a promising looking morning (pix from webcam on Weisshorn at 0730) 

The fresh snow from the last days had already been machine packed, thus offering a perfect 'runway' for launch in the E / NE -Wind.

Weisshorn: looking back to launch

The first flight was just a sledder to Arosa. The second flight (to Chur) could be extended by about 15minutes due to some reduced sink and some weak thermals in Chur :-))

(Sunday) Same 'program' as yesterday ;-)

 

Alp Scheidegg, Arosa

Thursday: Half an hour of 'autmn' soaring at Alp Scheidegg (with toplanding). Just caught the right 'window', as before the wind was a bit too strong for me and later it was dying...

Säntis

Lake of Zurich

Mythen

Friday: looking pretty promising. As luck would have it, I didn't have to wait even a minute at 'Hüebli', where I had parked my car, before another pilot stopped and offered me a ride :-))) Thanks Fritz!! 

But It turned out that conditions were quite different to yesterday: wind more westerly and less consistent. Just a few pilots could make longer flights; most just concentrated on groundhandling...

After having enjoyed the sun for a while I was (again) lucky to catch a ride back to my car...

Saturday: short 'excursion' to Arosa: by car to Chur and then by train. Suprisingly nice thermals at Weisshorn :-))

Chur (Werner)

Chur: historic city

Thanks to PeterW for helping on launch and WernerG for the ride back to my car!

Sunday: too much Föhn in the fcst :-(  That's also the reason why I didn't take my car to Arosa and stay there overnight.

Arosa

Saturday: 2 flights

1.flight: surprisingly there has been even some slight thermal activity at 1100 :-)

the webcam took by chance a picture of my take-off

artificial lake: the water is used for artificial snow for preparing the slopes

2.flight: I had hoped that the conditions would improve more; thermals had been a bit stronger than on the first flight, but remained just a little too weak.

While packing up I pulled out unintentionally my rescue - I hope I put it back in correctly! I'll have it checked next week...

Dinner at 'Lamm&Leu'; once more the meat has been absolutely outstanding!

Sunday: unfortunately not as nice as yesterday...

... the high altitude clouds blocked the sun almost completely; so just a sledder to Chur (with some reduced sink at times).

Alp Scheidegg

 2.11. and more than an hour of flying :-))

My original idea has been to go to Alp Scheidegg for some groundhandling; I didn't expect such nice conditions at all. After toplanding I did a little groundhandling and than just a sledder to the LZ.

 

The rest of the week doesn't look very promising; hopefully the conditions will be ok for the weekend, so I can try some flights in Arosa...
