Just for fun! Forbes 2001.



When I grow up Flocky I want to fly helicopters, you know them one's with the rotor blades!



I just wana stop this towing BS and go hanggliding!

The first three Covert's arrive downunder!

More Covert pics to enjoy!!

The back end of the business!




Even comes with both custom deployment bags, quite heavy fabric though.



The harness is starting to fill out to a nice shape and mould to my bodies lumps and bumps.

I have now packed both chutes in the harness and when the bloody rain stops I may actually be able to test fly this thing. The build quality is 1st class quite obviously  built to handle a terminal chute deployment and then some. The sizing is spot on, so what you ask for you will get, if you want a loose fitting XC harness add 1/2" in length and width, if you want an all out racing harness Jeff Shapiro will make it so, room for you and your speed sleeves! The twin chute setup makes the harness hook in around 2kg more, but has added safety and a more symmetrical look than most harnesses. The boot detail is awesome in the way it moulds the composite plug ( with carbon fibre hatch), and I also love the neck/shoulder gasket, complete with it's own mini zipper. The main zipper is held with four layers of Velcro, therefore adjustable and replaceable during the middle of that all important competition where there never seems to be an industrial sewing machine handy. I will try and upload more pics and write something more once I have flown it..

The reflector is the handle for the drogue chute.



This harness is basically a rock climbing harness in disguise.

Look at that CLEAN carbon booty.

Rain rain! when will it stop.

Just some of my fav pics, this one by Dirk one of our local pilots, of me flying over Canungra, nice Clouds eh!. 

And the ones we love at times and hate when they eat our gliders topsurface!

Canungra Classic The Interview..

Canungra task 3

This is where I landed on day two after spending more than an hour trying to chase down the lead gaggle whom were working really well together and staying high. I landed at the base of this hill and walked down, the other side of that hill was westerly sun and the Boonah T turn point! Ahh well at least I tried. Most of the pilots today landed in the crappy northerly air on Tambo but I think around ten pilots got away on Mt Misery and down the Kerry Valley. Storms are brewing now and there is a real likley hood of a stopped task. Tomorrow is calling for rain and wind on Saturday so this could be it for the 2010 Classic

2010 Canungra Classic we fly!!

At last we get a fly from Tambo with a around 56k's to fly no one makes it but Jonny gets close, so we have had one day scored and one cancelled at this stage.

And yes my friends I and soon to take delivery of my slickest bit of hanggliding kit yet! That is the Covert, Look at em there eh!, sitting and waiting on the pruduction line.

And this one from Jeff Shapiro's "Skunk Works" pics, whilst undergoing testing in a subsonic wind tunnel.

Canungra Classic 2010

Well the first day of the Classic is canned due weather, low cloud and showers all day very dreary indeed.
