Bumpy bellambi flying

It was very sunny day with a bit too much wind 13-15 knt. Launches and landings were easy in this wind, penetration against the wind was pretty good in full reflex mode and flight downwind was like on the rocket. Due to westerly wind mixing with northerly down close to the ground the air was unpleasant and not safe to fly. I gave up after 15 min, Tony didn't even try to fly. Good beaching weather!

Moon flight

No, I didn't get to the moon but I was flying with it. Full moon was in the West and the sun was rising in the East. Beautiful sky, pretty scenery and the morning sunlight painted the view. Couldn't ask for more!

Chase cam and fogs...

There is something magic about flying the sunrise... the paragliding urge is satisfied in the morning and the whole day ahead is a pretty good feeling. Another nice flying from the cricket field. This time GoPro3 as the chase cam capturing a video and taking pictures every 5s at the same time. Enjoy!

Sunrise flight

Light winds in the morning and I was on my was to the launch zone at 6am. Sun is rising at 6:52 at this time of the year so I had plenty of time to prepare the equipment. A couple of pictures from this nice flight you can find below:

Rainy paramotor flight

The forecast was with a little drizzle in the morning but I decided to fly anyway. I had a fuel for one hour and ten minutes. At some stage a wall of rain was between me and the landing zone. I had to wait for 20 minutes over an emergency landing spot in the bushes for the sky to clear up and to for a landing. I was running out of time so I decided to fly over bushes and get around the rain. It was moving too slowly. I got it just right with 1L of fuel in the tank to spare. I got a bit wet in the rain but WRC handled it perfectly. After landing I met local RC modellers, nice chat and exchange of experiences. Very nice people.

New nice paramotor site

Not that far from my home, away from the Sydney CTR is a huge sport field which I spotted on the google earth and decided to try to fly from it. Light NW in the morning meant that flying on the beach is not safe so I went to the cricket field. Huge grassy area with take off possible in any direction was a nice surprise. I also tried my new Dudek windsock on a 3.4m fiberglass telescopic rod. Easy take off with no wind and after a few steps I was in the air. WRC is such a nice wing.
The biggest concern of mine about this site was that there is a bush everywhere so emergency landing can be tricky. Fortunately there are some grassy patches bush-free which should be suitable in case of the emergency. Flying today was kind of a dance between these grassy areas. Smooth air and beautiful sunrise were amazing. What a wonderful start of a working day!
