Again another incremental (20 km) increase in the task length from the preceding day. 55 pilots in goal with Mario Alonzi last into goal at 5:47 over two hours later than Christian.. Christian and Alex were on final glide with Christian higher and going faster when Alex stopped to work some lift thinking perhaps that he wasn't going to make it after all.

Pedro 6th, with pilots clumped together. Petr Polach was out in front but had to find some lift in the last cylinder to be able to make it in fourth ten minutes behind Christian.

Thu, 2 Jun: Mainly cloudy with 40 percent chance of showers. Risk of thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Wind becoming east 20 km/h gusting to 40 near noon. High 22°C. UV index 6 or high.

May 29th - June 4th

Canadian Nationals 2022|Jamie Shelden|Tyler Borradaile

Tyler Borradaile writes:

I am pleased to announce that Jamie Shelden and I will be hosting the Canadian national Hang Gliding championship this year out of Savona BC. May 29th - June 4th with May 28 set as a practice day.

    Some quick details:
  • $175 CDN entry
  • Open and sports class
  • foot launched
  • Live trackers for scoring will be used
  • Expecting to cap registration at 45 pilots (a number I think is attainable based on the interest I have received and the demand for us to host this contest)
  • Primary launch will be Savona (Deadman’s), there is camping 2 km from the main landing area, plenty of accommodation and dining in Kamloops 22 km east of Savona.

I personally am very excited for this event, 2019 was a fantastic time with word of the good flying in the area spreading. With travel being a thing again, I expect this will be a very well attended contest so please sign up ASAP if you’d like to join us.

More information to come, I will post as soon as registration is set up, please also follow the Oz Report for updates.

I hope to see many of you soon.

Spring Meeting - Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy 2020

The Spring Meeting - Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy, at its 4th edition, is a FAI 2 competition (Hang Gliding class 1, class 5, Sport class) which takes place in a flight zone well known by European pilots. It is also part of the big flying area which have hosted the XXII Hang Gliding World Championship.

The flight area is mainly in the foothill but, depending on weather conditions, it is possible to fly also in the Alps and in the flatland. There are different takeoffs; two of them are in Slovenia and can be chosen in case of changeable weather.

Pilots are already on takeoff. Weather seems perfect today, so we expect to go in the air early in the afternoon for a consistent task.

Because pilots weren't assigned Flymaster trackers through Airtribune, live tracking on Airtribune doesn't work for this competition. Follow the pilots on the Flymaster web site.

The task has started: https://lt.flymaster.net/bs.php?grp=2636

You can see the Replay from yesterday here: https://airtribune.com/play/4032/2d at the two times faster speed (compared to the Flymaster web site). The Airtribune replay uses the IGC files found here: https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/results. The Airtribune Replay user interface is vastly superior to the Flymaster Playback user interface. It does have a problem with screen clutter on cell phones.

Fix me a stiff one

Zahn, Mark A <Mark.Zahn@unisys.com> writes:

I've considered a flexible/solid hang strap. My design could have a fairly draggy profile. It would be similar to flexible/solid arms that machinists use to hold measuring tools.

Picture a solid ball with a hole drilled through it then a short cylinder that the ball can't pass through, then another ball, and cylinder. In flight, a cable (or kevlar/spectra line) capable of being tensioned with a cam jams the balls and cylinders together tightly to make it fairly solid.

For launch and landing, loosen the cable/line tension and it's fairly flexible. The cylinders might be able to have an airfoil profile to reduce drag. The balls and cylinders could be substituted with some other more profile and self alignment friendly shapes.

(editor’s note: I feel that this design has a great deal of promise when it comes to keeping the pilot coupled to the glider. Now we need a simple design to keep the pilot forward to help prevent tucks and tumbles.)

Zahn, Mark A <Mark.Zahn@unisys.com> writes back:

OK. This just sprouted in my mind, so I haven't worked out all the safety or other considerations! How about something like the current design auto shoulder belt retractors? They let you move about (with a little retractive tension, one tradeoff) at low velocities, but at sudden high velocity (i.e. your tuck or other sudden movement) they just lock up.

The I'm not sure exactly what it would take to release again after being locked up, hopefully just a slight release of tension followed by smooth motion (difficult while tucking, tumbling or spinning). Let's assume the retractor is optimally calibrated for typical hang gliding movements, and the mount points are correctly/strategically (and structurally) located on your harness and base tube (i.e. somewhere between fast flight and trim position), and there is enough line extension available for all modes of launch, flight and landing, and there is a quick release. Might this satisfy both the rigid hang strap (prevents falling into sail/keel) and help prevent rearward CG movement of your body (your body was forward of CG immediately prior to the tuck) needs.
