A 312 km flight from Mt Bakewell in Western Australia in my amazing Gecko!!! The forecast was for 9kt SSE winds after 1pm (before that it would be unflyable with NE winds). Gav, Guise, and I headed out to make the most of what looked like very promising weather. The forecast was suggesting lift to 12,500 feet and wind at the top of climb to be around 17kts...

Hang gliding in Western Australia. Leighton Beach/Cottesloe is a low coastal site that takes a westerly breeze. Ideally, the wind should be between 15 and 20kts for easy flying. Today the wind was lighter, so we scratched around a fair bit.

A group of us headed out for some autumn flying. Thermals were predicted to reach 5500'-6500'. We were lucky to get the higher range after a slow start and a very low inversion. All 10 pilots had good height gains and 4 flew around the 76.4km triangle we set at the start of the day.

มุมมอง 1.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We decided to head out for a fly during the Easter break and see if we could get any lift under some very heavy cloud cover. While we were there, we helped adjust the pitch of the prop on the Dragonfly, to see if it helped with the climb rate.

Flying 262kms on Jan 1 2021 in my Gecko #FlyMoyes #HangGliding #MoyesGecko
มุมมอง 1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
My previous best flight in my Gecko was 230kms. A group of us thought we might do better, especially on January 1, 2021. What a way to start the year. We all had great flights and couldn't have started the year on a better note. How lucky are we to be in a place that is COVID free and life is virtually back to normal.

Hang gliding in Western Australia in my Moyes Gecko 170 with Technora sail. This glider is seriously impressive in climb and glide, as well as being very easy to land in all wind conditions. Aerotowing is easy at 1/3 VG setting.

      Hey Rolf! Rob is very good pilot, and I slowed the Malibu as much as possible. He was in a 190, and I was is the 188. I hook in at around 20kgs more…

    Surely there’s such thing as a microphone designed to be used in high wind? Or a software filter that can remove “windy microphone” sound? I refuse to believe there’s no such thing, and that not a singer hang-glider-owner knows about them.
