Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could say you're getting too old for that sort
of thing but it just might be rubbing salt into the wound...

As long as you're willing to hold the camera can't fly and film at the same
time. 

 

Took it for a first attempt at slope soaring last night what a hoot!
although I did end

up crashing over a crest out of view resulting in ripping off the nose and
ending the 

session, probably too windy for a first attempt. I went and tried another
ridge this 

morning before the wind picked up. Must have hit my highest altitude, I was
getting

vertigo just looking at it. I managed to gain height without power via
updrafts. Cant

wait until I'm confident enough to get the Pro out of it box. It is a full
house powered

sailplane a cheap one. 

 

Probably just as well it isn't clear outside. I went for a ride on my
motorbike today and

go tickled up on a head of a tree. I tried to get through it and the dang
thing sat up on

me, flipping me over and the bike on top of my right leg. I think I might
have cracked a 

rib and the leg well it's ok now it got a few bumps and bruises.

 

Cheers,CS

Mallanganee has been on youtube. Now you have to add a video of the flight
of the glider!

 <mailto:&#$%....#^*&$.....!$%@> &#$%....#^*&$.....!$%@.... dang your
Adelaide in fact include western Australia in that.

My many months. perhaps years of studying cloud charts I have come to the
conclusion

north eastern NSW is a bloody cloud magnet. While Western and southern
Australia seem

relatively cloud free. And you can bet you last dollar that would change if
ya moved there.

 

Not looking even slightly promising out here for tonight. I'm going to go
try some slope

flying with my glider up on  Cambridge Plateau if thing change I'll come
back and let you know.

 

If not we could look at tomorrow night, should be too much moon around.

 

Cheers,CS

Weatherzone saying 47% cloud at 9pm but if there's ANY chance, even if
conditions aren't perfect, I'm up for it! Let's check later on today. 

I tell you what .... Adelaide is the place to be - clear skies night after
night!
