2nd and 3th flight

Pupils are all growing up with the time that they are spending in the air. This Sunday they went again to the start place Kobala and made their jumps to the bottom of the valley. I was still helping them to circle down to the landing area by radio station, but next time they will try on their own. I will still be at the landing to help them but more quietly :)) Can`t wait to get in the air with them :)
Seems like that autunm is a perfect time to make those flights. Air is realy steady, wind is constant and easy so they don`t have any problems in the air, just smooth flight down.






Turn Left, turn right :)

Beautiful autunm colors

Last two students on their first flight from a mountain

We`ve waited for a long 3 weeks to get the right wind at the top of Kobala mountain. But waitinfg has been payed. Yesterday it was a perfect day to make a first flight. Both, Polona and Marko, made their flight without mistakes, so beer at the landing was even better :)

Let`s talk about beginings

I had this opoturnity to have a fother who was hang glider pilot and crazy enogh to start me learning the skills of hang gliding very soon. I left him without a choice because I went to the top of the mountain with a praglider when I was 12. I knew how to start end land rest of it was luck. So there came the time to start learning to hang glide.




First jumps on a small hill. Fother pushed me in to the air :)
