I went out and got some building materials to mount the scooter on a small trailer, while Steinar produced the drum that will hold the towing line. So far so good, now we just need to test it, hope the weather will allow it tomorrow.
Here’s the scooter mounted on a trailer. I made the supports [...]

Our scootertowing project have been a great success so far, and we are committed to continue training students with the big Condor and the 50cc scooter. The low power in the scooter makes it perfect for training, and low altitude flights while keeping it as safe as possible.
The low power is also the limiting factor [...]

I was on call for my job this newyears weekend, so no big party, and good shape to go flying the first day of the new year. I met up with Sindre who had driven 330km to fly, and we went to Sundvollen. It was nice conditions for a sled ride down through light snowfall, [...]

Yesterday Steinar and I were instructors again. Our student did 10 tows, I did two, and Steinar one flight. All in less than three hours including setting up and packing up. The student did his first full tows, learned to turn around and set up a landing pattern, and spot land.
I did a test to [...]

Bjørn, Brønstad and I met up at Årvoll, where the students had their first flight on the Falcon 2 to prepare for the first high flights today. After trying the glider we packed up and went to Brandbukampen. It was perfect timing, as the fog just lifted above the takeoff when we came. I was [...]

Sunday I went out with Bjørn to be instructor for the course. Pål would have his first high flights, while Lars and Petter would take their last flights to finish the course. We met up 09:00 at the landing, the conditions looked good. Lars missed the landing on the frozen lake(!) on his first flight, [...]

On Saturday Bjørn and I decided to take two of our students to Flesberg. It was forecasted light snow and easterly winds, which turned out to be an accurate forecast. It was perfect conditions with almost no wind and only light fog at times. Both Petter and Lars got 3 flights each, they both [...]

This website is now running on the 3. generation of hardware. I’ve upgraded from a Pentium II 300Mhz server to an Athlon 1400Mhz. The old server had 450MB RAM, the new one has 1Gig. The speed increase it quite nice when doing searches and adding more pictures and content.
The first server back in ‘98 [...]

The hanggliding club in Oslo will as usual run a beginners course this fall. I have been one of the main instructors the last few years, and I will help out in this course too, but not as much as before. I have to prioritize my time differently this winter with work and the worlds [...]
