Future pilots :)

I was kindly asked by a local kinder garden to come and show their group that is called dragons how does a real hang glider look like. They already build many small wind kites but the real thing was coming on this day.
Mostly they knew from where we take off and where we land but you could see the surprised eyes when they saw how big it is. I let everyone try to hang in the harness and feel like a real pilot. So many happy faces :)

First three

I dont need to tell who is who :)

90 km task, Troffeo Carlo Zanchetin

Shorter task today, but more challenging. More flying over the flats. We where not able to stretch the task to the east due to giro di italia and helicopters. Gerolf won the day ahead of Tom and Alex. I am in first 15, I
hope I end up in first 10. This was a nice competition Rova family organised a nice two days of flying. Now slowly pack up and off we go to Slovenia.

We are having a nice dinner at the moment. Like always in Italy, food that is good already when you look at it. It looks like the goa cilinder was not in the center of the landing field so quite a lot pilots missed goal by a few meters. Always a hard lesson learned.

A nice 113 km task

We had a nice weather all the way. Clouds did not overdeveloped so we had a nice lift all the way. Many pilots are coming to the goal now. First in goal was Alex, he seems really prepared this year. Second was Gerolf and third was Tom Weissenberger. I finished in top 10. Satisfying. For today :)

First day, Troffeo Carlo Zachentin

First day of Troffeo Carlo Zachentin. Looks like around 30 pilots will be in the competition. Weather is predicted for a chance of overdevelopments but for now it looks ok. First briefing will be in an hour.
