The conditions were variable during the Hjartdal Cup this weekend. Saturday was blue, and the hangglider pilots waited too long to get a good task going. Nobody made goal, and only Tommy and Johnny got to the first TP. Sunday arrived with cirrus covering up the sky, and nobody got up. Moday it rained.

We only got one task of four days in the Milsluken XC comp, sadly the weather demons did not cooperate with us this time. Tor Erik Moen won by flying 101 km from Vågå to Åndalsnes, beating Trond Olsen by 300 meters. Frode Halse won the PG class with 64 km. The same day Werner Johannesen started from Øyer and flew 182 km almost all the way to Åndalsnes as well.

We got on national TV today during the Constitution day celebration program. We were contacted by the TV channel and the counsil in Vågå to do some show flights during the live broadcast from the celebrations, it turned out really good.

Tomorrow morning I drive to Hjartdal, to fly the Cup there. Weather looks really good!

We had fantastic conditions on Saturday, the first task of Frya Cup was Frya – Otta – Frya, an Out&Return of 71.3 km. Cloudbase was at 2100 meters and strong thermals everywhere, 12 of 14 pilots completed the task, with the quickest pilots spending less than 2 hours on the task. On sunday the wind turned and we could not get launchable conditions, too bed bacause the weather was nice and sunny. Olav Opsanger won the comp, Johannes Moger came second with a better time, but a later start and goal-time. Nils Åge Henden made third, and I came fourth.

I stayed in Vågå for some XC flying, Modays was supposed to be great, but some Cirrus moved in and ruined the day. There was still pleny of lift, but no XC conditions. We sendt out some of the students for their first filights from Vole, they did good. I did not feel well and had to land after just a few minutes in the air.

Tuesday Olav flew from Vågå to Øyer, 104 km, in totally blue conditions, I did not fly as I was not feeling well.

Thursday to Sunday is the Milslukern XC comp, weather looks OK so I hope we get lots of people coming.
