Norwegian Hanggliding

Hanggliding related new gear

So I just ordered a new hangglider, the new Moyes Malibu. I bought it to see if I like to have two gliders, the Malibu is just for pure fun flying when I do not need the performance of the Litespeed RS. If I do not fly it much I can always sell it without [...]

This looks like a cool toy, and the name sounds right too. Check out the videos of the model flying.

Another cool robot is the Pleio, I first read about it Wired. Here’s a video, it reacts to touch and sounds. Inventive stuff.

I’ve really needed the 20 + hours to get friendly with the glider, mostly due to me being out of flying shape. The glider looks and feels quite different from my last S4, the sail has a lot more double surface, the frame and span is larger. I’ve only done some minor adjustments to it [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates, the Italian GSM networks still suck, so I could not connect to the internet easily. I’ve talked to Lolita at Tilly’s, and volunteered to help her set up a wireless internet zone in the hotel next year, that will make it much easier to get on the net.
This Easter [...]

Ohh… Ahhh.. Yes baby! This thing is even better than I thought. I found a data field on the map screen that is “glide ratio to next TP” ! YEAH! GO GARMIN! This is my new favourite toy, (Until my Litespeed S arrives at least). The map screen is customizable, and all data field can [...]

The latest version 5.3 have a plug-in to support [...]

I’ve been flying with a Icaro Skyrunner helmet for quite a few years now. I got my first one when I started flying, and it saved my life when I flew headfirst into a rock after a failed takeoff from Vole. The one I fly with now have been with me since easter 98, and [...]

Just downloaded CompeGPS 5.0 and played with yesterdays tracklog, most of the new features are in the 3D mode of the program. The thermals are calculated and marked from the tracklog, and you can view the flight in “realtime” with a glider that turns and banks like real. Update and evaluation version can be downloaded [...]
