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.

Alex hung with Christian and Manfred but always 1000' or so higher as they approached the second to last turnpoint. When the three of them out in front of all the other pilots headed toward goal (and the last little turnpoint) Christian was a bit too low as was Manfred. Alex with his extra altitude just kept going and was able to get there three to 1 minutes earlier. Extra altitude helps.

http://www.italy2019.com/2019/07/22/imprendibile-ploner-solo-laustriaco-ruhmer-limita-i-danni-terzo-in-goal-un-ottimo-filippo-oppici/

Start from Mount Cuarnan and after a few kilometers, all the pilots have opted for the full altitude on the nearby and well-known Chiampon, an area that usually always gives very good thermals.

At the "ready to go" Peter Polach (Czech Republic), Mario Alonzi (Brazil), Daniel Velez (Colombia), Yuji Suzuki (Japan) and an Australian athlete, at important speeds already over 80 km/h. Selenati, as has often happened in these days from deep knowledge of the Friulian skies, has almost immediately set a different trajectory, followed also by other pilots.

Proceeding towards the first two buoys located in the area of Treppo Carnico and in that of Rigolato, a group including the Polish Przezdziak has managed to gain altitude, seizing a thermal with values higher than 7m/s able to lead them to almost 2800m of quote.

At the first turn point Arne Tanzer (the Dutch fort once again came to light) showed up; behind him, among others, Daniel Velez, John Smith (New Zealand), Galovec, Peternel and Klemencic for Slovenia and Gervasoni for Italy. Velez was able to immediately dig a discreet groove, taking the reins of the task in the direction of Rigolato, also flying over the "Kaiser" or the Monte Zoncolan, climbed yesterday by many indomitable cyclists participating in the Gran Fondo "Carnia Classic Fuji - Zoncolan".

In a real alpine flight, most of the pilots immediately understood how fundamental it was to continue to gain altitude: to confirm this, before flying over the Fella, several stopped to look for "breath" and at the top of the race the Austrian Ruhmer is brought along with Alonzi and Velez, with Ploner to lead the blue patrol.

In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, at Gemona, most have abandoned the shorter trajectory above the plain, thus flying over the Regional Natural Park of the Julian Prealps, following the ridge that develops for about 50km and that in favorable weather conditions such as those of today, allowed everyone to maintain a safety quota up to the cylinder placed near Slovenia. However, some of the men of the standings have tried to follow the low profile: among them the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic, the Czech Peter Polach and the Polish Przezdziak, making it very difficult to continue.

In the skies between Nimis and Attimis, while some pilots were forced to land out of goal considering the very selective task (including Przezdziak himself), Italy took command of the flight thanks to Ciech and Ploner. The meteorological situation was fully captured by the leading group, which turned the last buoy a little further away than the optimized line but with stronger thermal guarantees and greater altitude. On the way back to Bordano, when there were only 20km to go, Ploner managed to get Ruhmer and Ciech off the ground by scoring first with a spectacular tack that sent shivers down the ground. Only the Austrian, detached by about 4 'resisted, because from the third onwards the detachments became heavy beyond 10', demonstrating the superlative task carried out by the South Tyrolean. Another Italian, Filippo Oppici, completed the podium with an excellent performance and the German Primoz Gricar came fourth, with Ciech delayed by the lack of "fuel" on the most beautiful but author of a splendid fifth place.

Tolmezzo, 19th July 2019

In the longest task of this world championship to date, Italy is still a team to beat. Great is the Brazilian Pinto who redeems the landing out of the third day.

After the stop imposed yesterday due to adverse weather that has actually anticipated the rest day (required by regulation after six consecutive tasks), the XXII World Championship of hang-gliding organized among others by Flyve, Aec Lega Piloti and AeroClub Italia is resumed today with the fourth task, which in the usual morning briefing saw the change of take-off location on Mount Cuarnan near Gemona del Friuli. For the landing instead, once again the Bordano airfield was confirmed, one of the many countries (together with Gemona of course) that on the evening of 6 May 1976 it was razed to the ground by the terrible earthquake, but like all Friuli knew be reborn in a short time and leave again.

Today's task was very demanding, at the moment the longest of the World Championship with almost 143km to go all in one go, with Italy called to defend first place in the team general with 8503 points (according to Brazil with 7746 and third Germany with 7367), as well as the individual where in the order Ploner, Ciech, Selenati and Laurenzi find themselves in the top five positions with a single “intruder” the never-Austrian Austrian Ruhmer, ninth in the FAI ranking and holder of ten world titles.

After the splendid departure from Cuarnan (admired by many people with the "upturned nose" from Gemona del Friuli), the first buoy a few kilometers away was that of Artegna, where our Ciech passed first and left behind the Slovenian Franc Peternel, the compatriot Ploner (second in the flight of debut and in that of the day before yesterday) and two other insidious pilots, like the German Gricar (winner of the second task) and the Swiss Neuenschwander (second Tuesday). The hang gliders continued to the turn point in Slovenia, near Kobarid: for the first time in the history of the World Championships, the race was partially carried out in a different state than the host one, surely due to the organization which it was well spent in order to reach this historic goal.

Polach (Czech Republic), Smith (New Zealand), Majors (USA) and another group managed to find an important thermal just a few kilometers from the turn point across the border; Cantesanu, the only Romanian in the race, has lost altitude instead by landing off goal. Behind this group, the excellent Italian (and Friulian) Suan Selenati quickly arrived; the choice of the group was instead to follow the mountain slope, a fitting decision because in a short time they were re-attached to the fugitives at an altitude of about 2000m of height and over 70km/h of speed.

In the return to Trasaghis, where the third buoy was placed, the leading trio was composed of Gricar, Ciech and Ploner, with Pinto, Ruhmer and Neuenschwander (very fast in the stretch in question) to chase. Most of the group even in this phase, preferred to follow the profile of the mountain, which guaranteed their quotas and speeds always worthy of respect.

Ruhmer first touched the third turn point; unlike the stretch carried out up to that moment along the mountain (continuous line with very high average speed), the path towards the last buoy located at 9km from Cividale del Friuli, flying over a hilly area, required an important mental strategy, where fundamental it was the evaluation of the lines: the development of the heaps and also the flight of the birds, were important references - as underlined by the "meteoman" Damiano Zanocco - transforming the competitive challenge into a real chess game.

Ruhmer continued taking altitude following a line able to make him bypass the plain, flying east and also Ciech, Ploner and Gricar, along with the Brazilian Pinto, opted for this choice. Neuenschwander instead chose the trajectory from Cuarnan (today's take-off site) towards the south, about 3 km from the other pilots, climbing well but not quickly and soon being overtaken by the first group just mentioned that in the meantime had reached almost more than 2000m.

Ciech, Ruhmer and Ploner once again composed the leading group flying at 2200m at about 85km/h "at full throttle" towards Cividale; in the Nimis area they found a thermal with good values (more than 4m/s) and took advantage of the full altitude. In the equally fast return to Bordano, Alex Ploner - thanks to a wonderful tactical choice that guaranteed him a stable speed towards landing more than 70 km/h without ever having to stop to resume altitude - he managed to take a good margin of advantage over Ciech and Ruhmer scoring first with a time of 02.45.46 anticipating the Austrian and his teammate, thus putting another important seal on both the individual journey and the Azzurri towards the final goal.

Italy, led by Flavio Tebaldi, is still confirmed as a team to beat, with four drivers scoring in the top five. Only the stainless Austrian Ruhmer resists.

Third task, particularly short, not easy due to the variable weather conditions that have caused difficulties for all the national teams, which have adopted various strategies to try to get by. A very different situation from yesterday, typical "pre frontal" with destabilization in the low strata and a cold disturbance coming from the Veneto region - as explained by the "meteoman" of the organization Damiano Zanocco - has meant that the plain is "awakened", allowing pilots at least partially to be able to risk even the fastest but also risky line.

Selenati immediately took altitude, moving after a few km from the start to more than 1000m, together with team-mate Ciech, Klemenich (SLO), Ruhmer (AUT), Garcia (ESP) and Polach (CZ), trying to exploit the plain towards the first of the two turning points of the day, located in the specific case near Cividale del Friuli, the splendid town founded by Giulio Cesare who became Lombard capital of Friuli in his time. The route then included the return flying over the hilly area of ??the middle Friuli also touching Mount Bernadia near Nimis (another place well known by local flight enthusiasts), before "touching" the second buoy near Gemona and landing as always in Bordano.

Few pilots chose the longest trajectory near the ridge, which allowed them to gain altitude faster but having to complete more kilometers to reach the first buoy in Cividale; only the Slovenian Stanislav Galovec dared to start from the third window made available by the organization, but found itself flying by itself without any reference.

At the first turning point came in the order Ruhmer (AUT), Ciech (ITA) and Sandoli (BRA), who anticipated Laurenzi (ITA), Glauco Pinto (the very strong reigning Brazilian champion with many records also on distance) and the Slovenian Matjaz Klemencic. Given the difficult weather conditions, some drivers had to "raise the white flag" landing well before reaching the goal: even Pinto himself had to surrender shortly after Cividale and this was the real coup of the day.

Misfortune also for the only woman in the race, the Japanese Sato, who suffered an accident "piercing" out of goal: immediate rescue operations taken from the operations center in Tolmezzo, where three people are constantly on the monitors and follow the pilots' tracks. In close collaboration with the Alpine Rescue Service, the athlete was reached and transported to the hospital for the necessary ritual checks; his condition does not cause concern and a good "good luck" prompt recovery has come from the whole movement.

Tanzer, class of '89, Dutch, then tried to escape while losing a bit of altitude; the "sail" was pursued by Ploner, Laurenzi, Ruhmer, Ciech and Selenati, who tried to fly as fast as possible to the second and final turning point, maintaining an average altitude of 1000 m which actually allowed them to reach Bordano in a short time. Not having to stop in search of thermals, on the landing field our Ploner champion, the Austrian Ruhmer, the excellent young promise of the flight (Flyve branded) Marco Laurenzi, Christian Ciech and the Suan Selenati from Friuli arrived which thus completed the masterpiece "made in Italy".

This is the ranking of the first drivers in goal. Once the scoring system has been developed that takes into account different variables, the final one will be published on this site: https://airtribune.com/22nd-fai-world-hg-championship/results. On the official FB page of the event and on the website www.italy2019.com, the same will be done and specifically the evening will be published the provisional ranking of the day and the following morning instead, the general official one.

I guess that they are just not interested in working with the press.

http://www.italy2019.com/2019/07/16/classifiche-aggiornamento-quotidiano/

Manfred took a course line all his own after the third turnpoint going far south of the optimized course line while almost everyone else went to the north of the line. This allowed him to jump into first place.

He was not high enough to sustain that position as Primoz and Peter got much higher behind him and we able to get to goal a little sooner.

The weather turns

competition|Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy 2019|weather

https://airtribune.com/springmeeting-2019/blog__day_5

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.

Italians in first place 500 points ahead of the Czech team with the Brits still in third.

There is a report of a tumble today. Initially thought to be Marco Laurenzi on the Italian team. Results show him getting only 18.33 km. I could not get the Flymaster Live Tracking web site to playback Marco's flight.

The meet filled up in three days. We have 82 pilots registered. We are currently looking at expanding the number of pilots who can attend. Frankly we had no idea that this would happen so quickly. We have to follow the following USHPA rule:

All competitors should be registered on a first-come, first-served basis except during the first 30 days of registration, where 30% of the available places may be held for the top 20 NTSS and top 30 WPRS ranked pilots.

We'll use NTSS and WPRS rankings as of November 1st, 2017.

To secure a higher place in the order that pilots are chosen to participate in the competition, we need pilots to be confirmed. To be confirmed you need to register, fill out on-line and send in your correct waivers and medical form (use Adobe Acrobat DC - the free version, https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/faq.html), and pay the entry fee. See:

https://airtribune.com/2018-quest-air-national-series/info/details__info

http://www.hgoutlanders.com/pre-worlds-day-5-task-4/

The most special thing about flying in Brasilia is the Esplanade goal field. A perfect 118km task finally brought us back here to the city today. There’s nothing more exciting that watching the lead gaggle come across the tops of the tall buildings and set up an approach in what is basically a park between the two directions of traffic – four lanes each on both sides. The field seems pretty big when you see it empty. But with twelve gliders setting up to land, especially in light and variable conditions, it quickly shrinks.

Olav Opsanger and Jonny Durand came in pretty close (with Olav first), even setting up and landing together. Another ten or so came in one after the other behind them in the first gaggle.

Tom, who is in first overall as of yesterday arrived with half of his battens tips broken and sticking 4 or 5 inches out of their pockets. Apparently he inadvertently did what he called a “½ loop” in air so strong and turbulent that he thought he would tumble. He pulled out of it at high speed and his carbon basebar slammed him in the throat while the batten tips were busy breaking off. All that fun, and he believes he may have unintentionally violated the airspace as well, in a climb late in the task that he just couldn’t get out of in time. It’s really going to mix things up if he gets a zero for the day.

Wolfi high 15 minutes before the start.

Rory Duncan writes:

Had a bit of bummer today. Was sitting in 13th place in the pre worlds here in Brazil, but I think I might drop quiet a few positions after I accidentally breached the 9000ft ceiling. (Which can be very hard to stay under while flying in such strong conditions!) And then I miss judged the final glide into the city and had to land in someone's backyard on the lake 3km short of goal. At least I got to have swim while waiting for a ride.

Tulio at goal here. The big picture (surrounding).

There was a 9,000' ceiling. I would not appreciate having to stay below a given height. I see the point of keeping folks out of clouds. Pedro won yesterday and exceeded the height limit today to get a zero.

Wings on Tour story

The best day by far compared to the last 10 days of flying here! Big air with 5-7 meters/second up, beautiful cloud streets, less wind and a cloudbase not much higher than our 2,700 meter ceiling - thank god!

Primoz won the day with our Austrian fellow Christian 5th, Tom Weissenberger around 7th place. Nene tumbled but stays unhurt which is most important! Next days are looking promising as well with a dying cold front passing tonight bringing some humid air masses, like today.

Tom Weissenberger writes at Wings on Tour:

Brasilia day 2, task 2: tricky and blue 100 km with many pilots in goal joined by just one single girl - and the only right one, yeah! :)

Conditions at the start gate at 1:20pm were not favorable with broken lift up to 2.000-2.300 m, still everybody left as together we are strong!

First TP 30 km down SW on the plateau kept us first along the ridge where ENE winds pushed up good lift but also with big sink in between! After jumping onto the plateau thermals got better and the main gaggle bigger. It was not the day for pushing out in front alone and into the blue, so I forced myself to play that game. To my big surprise I played it well trying to be always on top of the gaggle and leaving when everybody else did, oh boy, nerve killing!

Anyway, TP2 was a tricky one 30 km back into wind but also situated on the edge of the ridge close to launch. Once I hit a strong rocket thermal but as soon I started to enjoy the consistent 5m up I already had to dive out again not to get over the vertical limit of 2.745m, damn! Also we could not get high enough to make it back to the ridge again but winds died down so this ridge's dead zone on its lee side was starting to work! So we managed to fly just behind the ridge and right on course to TP2 where all of a sudden Pedro could catch up and join us after taking the 2nd clock, damn damn!

As soon this piece of hard work was done a 35 km downwind leg into goal was the final reward. I could go on final glide first - after playing the gaggle game well - together with Pedro and Marco.

So Pedro should win the day with me and Marco first in goal pending on leading bonus. But the best part of the day was to welcome Kathleen in goal, abraco, record lady!

The 30-40 leading points were so so much smaller than the 150 speed points that Pedro was able to gather by going second.

http://www.hgoutlanders.com/pre-worlds-day-2/

As it turns out, Pedro wasn’t in position to take the first start and was forced into the second. It worked for him because he caught the lead gaggle near the last turnpoint and came in together with them.

Zac took the second start, which did not work out. Just outside the start cylinder apparently. A very tight finish, looking a lot like a paragliding competition in terms of how close the finishers are and with basically one start time.

Christian, 20th, and Ploner, 10th, as seen above. Wills Wing glider flown by the day winner. Vicki needs her pilots to get their Moyes gliders identified as no Moyes gliders show up on the list for the pilots in the top ten.

Working and living in Germany

Corinna Schwiegershausen|Primoz Gricar

http://corinnaflies.blogspot.de/2015/06/primoz-now-with-our-german-team.html

My friend Primoz Gricar now finally decided to change from the Slovenian to the German team. Primoz has been living and working in Germany for at least 15 years, and with him not having competed at the Mexico worlds, he can now officially change. Our national team and also the German Hang Gliding association DHV are more than happy to welcome not just one of the top pilots of the world, but also one of the nicest guys of our whole sport! It will be great to fly with our new team mate at the German Open in Altes Lager/Berlin beginning of August.

Scoring the Worlds

Scoring the Worlds

Does it matter what scoring system we use there?

Alessandro "Alex" Ploner|Attila Bertok|Christian Ciech|Filippo Oppici|Gary Wirdnam|Gordon Rigg|Jon "Jonny" Durand jnr|Jon Durand jnr|Manfred Ruhmer|Paris Williams|Primoz Gricar|Robin Hamilton|Rob Kells|Scott Barrett|Wesley "Wes" Hill

I can choose among a wide variety of scoring formulas in FS to score a given competition. At the Worlds in 2013 Wesley Hill used the GAP 2002 version of GAP 2011 which provides for 'leading' points and arrival position points and well as speed and distance points. Presumably the pilots were fooled into thinking that leading actually gave them valuable points seeing that GAP 2002 was being used as the scoring system. This is in contrast to the previous case (2012 Rob Kells) where I chose a competition that was originally scored using arrival time points.

Here are the results:

Setting the nominal distance

Going big

Alessandro "Alex" Ploner|Attila Bertok|Christian Ciech|Filippo Oppici|Gary Wirdnam|Gordon Rigg|Jon "Jonny" Durand jnr|Jon Durand jnr|Manfred Ruhmer|Paris Williams|Primoz Gricar|Robin Hamilton|Rohan Holtkamp|Rohan Taylor|scoring|Scott Barrett

If you expect to set tasks at about 200 km, what should you set the Nominal Distance at?

Given the Dmax = 200 km, Dmin = 5 km, Gnom = 20 the line above gives the relationship between the meet director's choice of nominal distance and the average distance required for full validity.

Given the Dmax = 200 km, Dmin = 5 km, Dnom = 120 km, the chart below gives the relationship between the meet director's choice of percentage of pilots at goal and the required average distance flown for full validity:

Full Distance Validity also depends on what percentage of the pilots fly further than the minimum distance. Given the Dmax = 200 km, Dmin = 5 km, Dnom = 120 km, and Gnom = 20, we get the following relationship:

Looking at the 2013 Worlds:

If the nominal distance had instead of being set to 80 km had been set to 120 km, the Distance Validity would have still been at least equal to 1 each day, despite the fact that day five and six were stopped. So nether of us would have set the Nominal Distance long enough to differentiate between days where we went below average and those where we were above average.

If we had set the nominal distance to 180 km, we would have had an average flown distance of those flying further than the minimum distance of 130 km for the Distance validity to equal 1. We would have noted before the first task that we were probably setting the first task (and task 2, 3, and 5) at too short a distance. In addition, the second, third, fifth and sixth days would have been devalued. The fifth and sixth days because the task was stopped. The second and third because the tasks were called too short.

It was only after the fifth task that we started calling tasks long enough to get pilots to fly far enough to be completely valid assuming that pilots could in fact on average fly 180 km on an average day.

If we had set the nominal distance value equal to 180 km then these would be the Distance Validity values for each of the days:

The two days that were stopped are devalued the most, which is what we would hope for.

This would have been the results if we had chosen that 180 km as the Nominal Distance:

Primoz was a complete gentleman in all my interactions with him and I told him repeatedly how much I appreciated it. Obviously he suffered greatly from any errors that I made as the meet director calling tasks on days that later became too windy. Paris also would have done well without those days counting. Ironically, Pedro, who filed a complaint about Task 5, faired better when all the days were counted.

We were sitting at the briefing, the weather man said his daily sentence: "There will be only sun today" and we were laughing, when suddenly a dust devil on launch flipped some gliders over and broke battens, even one keel. I was lucky that Mischu´s glider did not hit mine too hard, but everybody was tense after that.

www.klemencicmatjaz.blogspot.com (Seventh task)

http://corinnaflies.blogspot.de/

A long task today, a long retrieve too. It gets dark here early, so we had quite a hike to find Stefan in the hills. I was 7 km short of goal and landed at the main road to goal, but even I waited for a while and it was sunset when they came to pick me up. Primoz was first in goal today, Gerd was the fastest (and only) German, so I think we lost the 3rd place to team Spain who had two pilots in goal (Blay and Eko). Top score again for the Italians and the Slovenians with 5 pilots in goal! How do they do it? I made a huge mistake by not going with Gerd to goal. I was very close, but when I left, I was on my own and missed the last thermal. I should have waited for the gaggle behind me to catch up and make it to goal with them - Alex, Mischu, Matjaz, Dan… why was I so silly to leave on my own?

European Championships

Light winds finally, and some height

Alessandro "Alex" Ploner|Christian Ciech|Corinna Schwiegershausen|European Championships 2013|Primoz Gricar

http://klemencicmatjaz.blogspot.com

Another day that started with blue thermik and ended with it as well. The only difference today was much less wind. The beginning was hard again, I got very low again but managed to climb back up and get together with the main group on 4o km where we went to 3000m and went on a bit easier.

http://corinnaflies.blogspot.de/

GOAL!!! Yes, our whole team made it to goal, and I still can't believe that I was first of our team and about 6th overall. On a race day?!? Today we flew 87km around 3tp with less wind. No clouds, but a higher base around 3000m and nice climbs made it a fast day. I managed to stay with the big gaggle and eventually caught up with the top guys as I had some very strong lucky lifts up to the sky.

Yet another weak day with wind

Alessandro "Alex" Ploner|Corinna Schwiegershausen|Davide Guiducci|Primoz Gricar

http://klemencicmatjaz.blogspot.com

Task 4, 71km

Today they told us already in the morning that wind will be stronger today. On take off it looked like less wind and really slow thermals if some. Our Franc was in line the first to go in this bad air so he waited for a push which we have every day from one of the Austria team.

They had big problems to climb up and next interval was even worse and many bombed out. I got lucky with a thermal. Today I put out a bit of led and suddenly I was climbing much better than previous days in this week conditions.

Day was better then yesterday afterwards with better climbs and I was on my way with leading gaggle.

I went bellow Chiech to find a climb that he had but got only some bubbles left bellow so we where all slowly drifting away from the course line. I tried to go back but N wind was just too strong.

Alan and Primoz made it to the goal.

The whole competition is more like gamble with take off conditions and of course huge portion of luck on the course. Interesting but not satisfying.

Another weak day

http://klemencicmatjaz.blogspot.com

52km too much. Well not for eight pilots, that is the news for now. Organisers wanted to give us a goal day but it ended up with drifting over the flats at low altitudes. Nurve game again and one wrong turn and you where on the ground.

http://corinnaflies.blogspot.de

Today eight pilots made goal, Alex won the day, probably followed by Pedro, Davide, Suan, Roland, me, Tullio and Dan. Yes, I got into goal, I've reached my personal goal: fly safe and score for the team at least once!

Official blog of the race: http://www.aerosrace.blogspot.com/

The Aeros Winter Race 2012 is finished. We had three tasks and the winner, Christian Ciech ITA, showed the best performace. We had more or less racing tasks showing the amazing average speeds, especially on last task with 61 km/h by Tom Weissenberger AUT, who finished second overall. Christian Zehetmaier GER showed very constant performance on all three tasks, which was enough to get on to the winners podium, on third place. Every day we got a lot of pilots in goal, 38 on the last day.

Fly Morocco 2011

If not Namibia, then how about northern Africa?

Jon "Jonny" Durand jnr|Jon Durand jnr|PG|Primoz Gricar|record|video|weather

Erick Angles <<stress.less>> writes:

As I have been evolving in the French hang gliding world a bit, I came across some fairly famous hang gliding pilots on the European circuits (as many in flex as in rigid). Particularly I am well acquainted to the Souviron brothers who have started the Fly Namibia expeditions a few years back (http://vianneynamibie.blogspot.com  and the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTix4Lw0QFI).

Sadly, the projects have ‘stopped’ after the 2010 Edition after a bad car accident and the loss of one. I have spent a few months talking with the pilots that used to go to Namibia for the past few years (some of them whom hold distance world records) and I have noticed that no new projects of that sort really exist so I decided that I was going to throw the idea around and sure enough, after a couple mails, I had about thirty (mostly the ‘Namibians’) very experimented pilots and ultra light towers whom answered instantly that they were interested. Right now, I have about twenty pilots for the project and three Ultra Light Towers…

Here is a little description of my original project. I have chosen Morocco for many reasons:

· Very nearby exotic destination: That attracts more pilots

· Before the beginning of the French season: April. Even more pilots

· 5000m + ceiling and an amazing cross country potential in the Atlas region.

· For per pilot budget much less than what these pilots are used to paying

· Much simpler logistic than for Namibia

· During the French holidays in April which span four weeks

· Gliding bases are present in Morocco which is perfect for towing

· In a country that makes tourism a very important part of its resources

This will happen for last three weeks of April and the first one of May in the South Atlas (Ouarzazate Area). I have just lost a group of six pilots whom were supposed to come the last two weeks of April and I have other pilots undecided as of now.

I have been working on this project for about six months now and while doing so, I have met so many pilots, came across and gathered so much info that I feel there is a huge potential. I have already started to think about my second expedition in autumn 2011, also in Morocco but for pilots less into performance who prefer to do the normal foot launching, etc. And I am planning on organizing a major open competition for 2012 or 2013 that could become a yearly event.

I have already contacted some potential sponsors (Red Bull, a bank etc.) and I have contacts for the French hang gliding and paragliding dedicated press. I have contacted the Moroccan Civil Aviation Commission and the minister of tourism through a very good contact over there. I am in the process of finalizing the authorizations for the pilots already registered for the project and the ultra lights etc. I am hoping to have the papers in the next few days.

I am backed up by Raymond Caux, the French team trainer, and a few guys from the French team including Pierro Zin (French Champion 2010), Antoine Boisellier, Laurent Thevenot and Guillaume Schoeb are hoping to come. Francoise Dieuzeide, the French woman champion has confirmed that she will be there with her kids for ten days. Many guys from Switzerland and a couple guys from Belgium may be coming also.

I also have the two brains behind the Namibian’s projects (Gil Souvrion and Fred Pignet) who have helped me a lot to start the whole thing as they think this is an amazing idea. Some pilots that were part of the Fly Namibia project will be part of this one. Others are already planning to come to the 2nd edition. The Moroccan national TV is even interested by the project and I have been working on a film/documentary about the expedition with other people.

I am also trying to link my project with the Cloud Base Foundation and Ricker, the president, is helping me on this one. Jonny Durand, Primoz Gricar (Slovenian HG Champion) and other big names of the hang gliding world are interested for future years as this was too short notice for them.

See the brochure here.

Here is the translation of the first couple paragraphs:

‘To fly is not a goal in itself, it’s a way of life, a mean to go towards others, to travel with the wind, softly, poetically. To fly, but not exclusively for the pleasure of flying. To fly for the richness of exchanging, sharing, offering and receiving.’ Gil Santantonio

The Event

‘Fly Morocco 2011’ – First edition

A Free flight event combining sport, adventure, discovery, taking place April/May 2011 in Morocco.

‘Fly Morocco’ is a project which is going to gather about thirty international hang gliding pilots in the area of Ouarzazate. These men and women, all confirmed pilots, some of whom are among the best worldwide, have the desire of profiting from the extraordinary aerological conditions of South Morocco and enjoy fully their passion of the free flight. They will also try to achieve to beat their own distance, length, or altitude records, even absolute records.

This associative project, which cannot be qualified of an expedition, nor a competition, has a transcendental vision, in a spirit of open-mindedness and exchange.

In a willingness to surpass oneself and in a constant search for improvement of their performances, hang glider pilots, like surfers, are searching all around the world, for mystic places offering the best weather conditions and flight potential. Most of the pilots that will be in Morocco have already been participating at such gathering in different countries, in the last couple years for example, in the Namibian desert, where new distance world records were established.

Aeros Movable CG

Move your hang point to make flying easier

Highland Aerosports Flight Park|Mark Arnold|Primoz Gricar

http://www.aeros.com.ua/news.php?lang=english&id=253 or http://aeros.com.ua/ and hit "Movable CG" under Aeros News

This year we have started to use the new revolutionary system with movable CG hang point on our gliders. The system was designed and developed by our Swiss dealer Markus Eggimann and was tested in different competitions by our top pilots: Primoz Gricar, Christian Voiblet, Franz Hermann and other pilots. The system enables to move the hang point along the keel tube, allowing the pilot to vary CG of the glider in flight from aft to forward position. The aft CG is good to maximize the climb rate when climbing in relatively weak thermals. The forward CG position enables to increase safety when climbing and gliding, specially in strong and rough conditions and increase comfort on glide by reducing the bar pressure. The system is easy to operate by engaging the additional rope and the clam cleat on the left side of the speed bar.

Mark Arnold <<mark>> writes:

Their site doesn't show the system or mention it beyond the latest news. My Combat CG point is a tower with a swiveling lever where the dual hang strap is attached. There are three CG holes for adjustment through the keel. Maybe Sunny Venesky can fill us in on the latest.

Another great task up and down the range with a little kicker that has been deemed unsafe as there were few if any good landing areas near the second turnpoint. The forecast was for southwest winds at six knots at 4,000' with moderate lift to 6,000' to 7,000'. There were supposed to be some cu's and there were a few scattered here and there, but not as many as the day before, when the forecast was for none.

We launched from the main Montecucco launch facing southwest. The launch conditions were again superb and there was lift out front right away so it was easy to get up a little ways at least and then go searching for better. I was quickly able to climb to 5,800' and then head south to get to the edge of the start cylinder which was twelve kilometers from the launch.

Getting there was a bit difficult and getting in place in time was a chore. None of us (US team) were ready by the 2 PM first start clock which turned out to be a mistake as the first eighteen pilots in took the first start clock. We should have launched earlier and not waited for half an hour before suiting up and then launching with only a half hour before the first start time.

Going south down the ridge was a piece of cake. When we got to the end we raced out into the valley to get the turnpoint thirty eight kilometers south of launch, then raced back to the ridge to find the lift. Like yesterday it was weak once again at the hill side on the return and we had to hang on in light lift for a pretty long time to get back up. Once up it was racing back to the north to try to get within striking distance of the fast guys.

Julia came in under me after the turnpoint and I flew with her the rest of the way almost back to the launch, thirty six kilometers. She is easy to spot with little outlined rabbits on the top of her sail.

Dustin got on the radio and said that the turnpoint was in an unlandable canyon so get high before going over to it. Later Shapiro got on the radio and said that he was low in front of a ridge west of the turnpoint. I was back at launch and working my way up Montecucco itself. It had good lift but I was worried about being under airspace (I 'wasn't). I pulled out at 5,850' and headed north toward the turnpoint. Shapirio said that he was up and going for the turnpoint.

I headed north keeping the valley on my left side and hoping that I wouldn't lose too much height before jumping over to the turnpoint to the northeast. I didn't get any lift and was not willing to go back to the turnpoint with no landing areas beneath me. I went to the same ridge that Shapiro climbed up at but it was fifteen minutes later and the lift had died.

Numerous pilots complained that the task was unsafe due to the call for the turnpoint in unlandable area. Of course, if you found lift on the mountain side which was the turnpoint, then it was no problem.

Manfred won again with Alex second and Elio third. See the results for the second task at the official web site.

Jamie writes:

Going into the last three days of the competition, Gerolf has a solid lead – about 200 points on Tom Weissenberger in second. I had a chance to chat with Gerolf on launch yesterday and get a little insight into what is driving him these days. His last major win was in Croatia at the Pre-Euros in 2005. Right around that same time he won the French Nationals in Laragne (2005) and the British Nationals also in Laragne (2006). But, he’s not had a great run since then.

So I asked what he thought it was that was giving him such a good run this time around. Not only is he leading overall, but he has won three out of seven tasks here. At 50, what suddenly starts to kick in, I wondered? Patience, I was told, is that answer. I have to say, that made me laugh more than a little bit. I don’t think anyone would say Gerolf is known for his patience. But Gerolf recons that is exactly what it is. For perhaps the first time in his flying career, he has learned to slow down. Maybe that comes with age? He thinks so. Between this new-found patience and having a solid start on the first tasks, he’s in a great spot mentally. He went on to explain that winning a few in the beginning certainly puts you in the right state of mind for backing off and letting the others rush themselves into the ground. Blay, for example, is a fantastic new young pilot. But all of his energy and enthusiasm has translated – this week at least - into pushing much too hard and ending up on the deck.

Gerolf sounds rather surprised with his success this week, adding “Is this serious? It’s like magic!” Maybe it's all the recognition he's getting from all the "freaking bloggers" here ;-)

Everyone quick to take off today and all looking high. It's gonna be a nice fast one I think. 127 km sort of out a return with a turnpoint to the NNW and goal in Balaguer in the flats.

New day, new forecast calling for near 90% cloud cover between the cirrus and cumulous. But, still expecting very strong lift...strange.

138km of zigging and zagging with goal out in the flats to the south.

Alex first across! Gerolf a few seconds behind. Carl third in.

Jonny knocked out on landing. Smashed instruments. Says he's okay. Says glider is okay.

Gerolf «Gerolfontour» writes:

Woke up early this morning shook awake by some kind of strange nightmare, that maybe yesterday’s task didn’t actually happen and my current lead in the Comp was nothing more but a sweet illusion.

I quickly grabbed the laptop to check for scores as I hadn’t seen any last night – but of course there was no scores to be found on the official site YET AGAIN (we are in Spain, for those who read the Oz Report infrequently, “manana”-country so to speak).

So I decide moving on to the Oz Report for clues (always my next source of wisdom), but all I find is numerous blog links with no results but just a short Jamie comment that the conditions and task were similar than the day before, and so were the issues with the scoring. Yeah, and also the mountains were still in the same spot as the day before :-)

I’m all in a frenzy now. I click onto her blog hoping at least to learn some more on how Carl is feeling these days and find out quickly that him and Gordon where the first in from the Brits. What a relief – at least the Brits did well!

I log onto the DHV blog. The DHV site usually covers very well the life and times of Primoz Gricar, and as he often ends up in the lead gaggle, I am thinking I might even learn something about my own flight this way.

But this morning Regina is more focused on the important fact that Life-tracking isn’t a very reliable technology – at least in the hands of hang glider pilots - and it basically works only in one of six cases on average. I had a hunch about this all along :-)

I’m surfing on. On Matjaz’ site we learn that the nights are acceptably cool but the bugs are unacceptably nasty here around, especially at the campsite. Did you know? Matjaz is also a big fan of Primoz and reveals to us how they started low but got up and high and then low and then high again and … and to spoil the whole story … in the end both made goal including all the other Slovenians. And what about ME?

I got to find out now, I got to move on. But Daphne is still reflecting about the opening ceremony where she met nice friends and all, and there is also a cute video of her boyfriend being sprog-tested – I quickly realize I might not find much about task flying on here.

I move on to Corinna’s World. If you’re into facts, this site isn’t for you. But, it’s got some surreal quality to it. Corinna has this rare talent to present the reader with an “alternative reality”, if I may word it this way. But this morning I’m desperate enough to give it a peek.

And, as if I knew it – drama, drama. Air had come in the camel bag and as if that was not enough already it turns out a dextrose bit – I’m not making this up - carefully taped to her helmet, came lose - just before landing. Can you believe it?

And, you guessed it right: no dextrose, no good landing. The cruel reality of hang gliding!

If this isn’t grabbing you right away, what is?

But then there it is - thank you Corinna - just as I was about to click you away, a little side comment of a side comment so to speak, kind of a by-the-way thing: Gerolf won the day, followed by Blay and Johnny.

Finally it’s out. And I can go back to bed…

…wondering what this blog world has come to?

Hey, you reporters, writers and part-time poets: this Comp isn’t about YOU and your friends. This is about ME, ME, ME and Balazs (and Gordon to some extend)

Well, at least as long as we top those lists. After that it will be about the Blays and Johnnys, the Attilas and Christians, Alex’ and Primoz’, Martins and Marios or who else will make the story of the comp in the days to come.

So please, give us a lead story here for crying out loud. Try to cover at least some of the plot of the day – tell us, what really matters for the results to finally come out the way they do!

Don’t get me wrong. We all love you interest in personal side shows. Your gossip stories and odd looks at things. But such “coverage” should be done in ADDITION to the main plain task facts, not in EXCHANGE for it!

I have to apologize to Gerolf. I had received the results for both days and the combined from Koos before they were up on the official web site, but as I was catching a plane to Zurich I was unable to publish them in the Oz Report in time. I hate it when I miss a scoop.

Vicki sends the results from day two as she is so happy with the good results for Moyes.
