It was thermal day with dusty cross wind. Then Branko, Adriana, my wife Jana and me went to restaurant somthing to eat and one beer. We flew with Branko about one hour later.
First flight this day was crazy. I didnt know where North is... Very gusty wind over 100m+thermal. I could to serve a goooood mixed drinks... Ufortunately I havent a camera on boaerd.
next flights about 2 hours later, was quite beautiful.
Now this looks to be a very simple system. The pilot is still working on the development. Probably not a huge amount of thrust or extended time at high power but maybe a nice way to get up to supplement some natural ridge lift or thermal lift. Pretty cool.
I flew to Nitra airport for trike instructor and his student and made him a final theoretical and practical exam for pilot licence. BTW new Apollo TL wing was really horribly in thermal weather... Next we all - 4 trikes - flew to Prusy airport for a goulash party.
You know, these guys from Earthstar are only...get us a good deal on a engine-less soaring trike.
You know a couple o...out $16 Large cburg? Ouch!! --> soaring trike-- no fuel (not much) ne...er on an R22 you can get a very nice soaring trike.
Edit comment
ULtrike...
Its a very short video of my crazy flight. The weather was crazy: thermal and head-crosswind 6-8m/s (12-16kt) gusty 14m/s (28kt). And I was stupid, because I didnt wait for better condit...
