where?....just off the ground:)..what?......something that I had a nightmare about recently!:bored:
The PIC looks as if he's just come back from a bank robbery & the guy at the back looks as if he has just spotted the cops!
Just teasing. I gather that is a chute recovery system on that flying 'thing'?

CW You are a funny fellow!

I wish OK the above pic is a hang glider tug...... they launch the HG from a trolley and he gets towed up just like a glider. The stick and rudder skills of the "bank robber" are pretty good too! During Tug ops I have not seen the pax. Me thinks you were at ILW last weekend;)

Pics above, CC almost gets the gong!

Wittman tailwind = Correct

Deathrap almost ..... Drifter

Bo parked next to a craft class origamy project :DSavanah

Varieze (sp?) Correct, not sure which model

OZBUSDRIVER 7th May 2008 00:57

The Phantom on his day off?

ABX 7th May 2008 01:01

I wish et al,

Look in the background of the picture, to the left behind the tail of the hang glider tug: Does anyone know what the old fuselage next to the fuel tank is.

ABX:ok:

I wish 7th May 2008 01:27

CW, yep, a recovery chute.

Jaba, very good skills, including landing and stopping in the pit he has just passed. Don't know about his captain skills though, his passenger fell out a few minutes later :)

ILW? POPS.

ABX, would imagine it was a 182.

Pinky the pilot 7th May 2008 05:16

Chuckles wins the cigar!:ok: Guari it is. He probably landed there a few hundred times!

OK, now a really easy one. Capt Fathom has the first guess!

Annual Flyin......not sure how much misbehavior goes on at night but its fair to say its a big bash!

Might have to brave it next year!

Capt Wally 7th May 2008 10:34

jaba you mean to tell me that a 'thing' not much better looking than a hanglider itself actually pulls hangliders up? Hell talk about the cart pulling the donkey!:E
I have towed up model gliders before with large R/C planes & we always attached the glider to the CofG point on the tow plane because if connected to the tail the towing model was almost uncontrollable. I see the attach point is at the rear of that 'thing' that's not much bigger than a 1/3 scale tug anyway!:bored:
Anyway would be amazing to see that in action, kind of brings a whole new meaning to 'tap dancing' on the rudder pedals hey!

As a foot note I gather that wearing shorts during flight is ok 'cause you don't have much in the way of 'intruding' bugs up that way?:E

CW

Capt Fathom 7th May 2008 11:19

You gave that one away Pinky! A bit out of my local area, which was Lae. I didn't get out much, only to Kerema once.

The Jane's has been retired!

Jabawocky 7th May 2008 12:53
