Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Thanks to everyone who helped with my check flight yesterday.

Ended up with a long walk along the beach.

Here is some video of what it is like to fly around the country near Carmels:

There is few weather stations that have been installed on launches and there is plans for a few more to be installed.

For now you can check the Australian ones at http://holfuy.hu then select country and then select the station. There is a free app as well called Holfuy available in the play store.

Happy flying

After weeks of Xmas rain, Peter, Warren, Ben, Kieran got a few days of xc. After more days of rain, the next wave of pilots below managed to suck some more airtime out of the green landscape.
(Simon broke his personal distance and duration…well done.)

4hrs 127km and landed at Warialda. Video ended about 15km North of Barraba. A great day to get intune with a topless glider and fly with mates. Now just have to learn how to fly it fast without scaring the bejesus out of me :)

From Swifty

All. Gavin Morris has organised an tribute for Adam Parer this Sunday 19th Oct at 3:00 pm. It will consist of three rings, one in the water one on the land and one in the air. Given the weather forecast the air circle ( ours) will probably not happen so the intent is to set up wings on the sand of Merewether beach in a circle. If you would like to be involved then meet at Dixon Park at 1:30 to organise the set up by 3:00. Cheers Swifty.
