I took the Litespeed out for a test flight in Vågå on Saturday, it felt good.
I’ve added some tracklogs and corrected a few errors in the Manilla story.
There are also some new pictures in the gallery.

New pictures in the gallery, manilla and more winter flying. Check it out.
Some flying at Sundvollen last week, Fredrik and me went there Wednesday and Sunday. I soared for 40 minutes on Wednesday, on Sunday it was no good with wind from the back. Fredrik did get off for a sled ride on Sunday.
I’ve finally started the story from Manilla. You can find it here, but I’m not quite done yet. I’ll add to the story, and a picture gallery is coming up. If Morten find som good video clips to use on the web, I might include those as well.
The Litespeed’s have arrived in Norway, my CSX is now for sale.
Back from Oz, had a great time. Now I’m going to sleep after 20 hours on a plane. Full report from Manilla with pictures coming up in a few days.
3 days ago Olav and I flew 149 km from Borah to Moree. It was a totally blue day, and inversion at 1800 meters. We set a task before we took off, first west, then north to Narrabri and Moree, 194 km total length. It took over 6 hours, and it was almost dark when we rigged down. Ronny and Stein-Egil flew 116 km along the same route.
Yesterday I bombed out, never found lift after take-off. Mt. Borah is a tricky place sometimes, you only have 400 meters to find something to get up on. Kjell got to Bingara, 89 km. Rolf Dale flew 191 km to Garah with a paraglider.
Today we went north, but I only got 16 km out before I was on the ground again. Massive sink, and a hangover did not help. The weather is good, hot and quite high pressure. We have flown about 20 hours so far, conditions have been good and everyone have been flying every day.
We’ll be leaving on Sunday afternoon for Sydney, so there’s still two days to go really far.
