Yeah! the old vertigo I would have thought I would have grown out of that after
all
those years as a rigger ; )
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

<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!
