NanoBee and Dragonfly trikes 2012..

Well I thought I had better post some eye candy, these two machines are so much fun. With the rigid wings fitted we are getting topless flex wing glider performance. There's nothing quite like motoring up into the mountains freezing your finger tips off for a couple of hours and then gliding back. 

Trikes like these open up my local flying area like I have would have never thought possible, I will endeavour  to post a vid soon.

Sooo many hours of sanding filling cutting etc!

After a year of R & D I finally finish my new soaring trike!

Rangi's Red Dragonfly complete with ATOS VR wing, 13.7mtr span what a weapon!

Update I'm still alive people!

Well It has been quite some time since I last blogged, I promise I will try to blog more in the future. During the up and coming "Canungra Classic 2012" in particular.

The two day Worlds 2011 is finished ! Italian's One two ,Russia three.

A very well organised competition I thought, well everything except the weather and my flights.
After being told by British Airways (Italy) Oops were sorry we transported your Deltaplano to Italy, yah. Uh MM, that was a mistake! Shiite, thanks to Vicki and Greg Cain I have a car and back to Sigillo (with visiting Aussie Trevor Scot)t I go. With my kite to be boxed and now shipped back via Germany I believe.
Just to make my journey even better I have now been stuck in London and every flight is over booked for the summer break and with many hours to kill I talk to you all now. ETA Australia?? but I have to just take it like a man!

The podium!! Alex, Christian and Primoz, well done boys! 

yes this is the Colosseum!

Check out this little number, enough cables for your Hills Hoist, and my favorite part..NO CROSS BARS!!

Anyway enjoy and I will post soon..

Worlds 2011 task 2

Well here we are, big day with shady areas and some did not get lucky with the timing and landed, including myself and team mate Dave May 20 odd K's out from goal. 114km course with 90 odd people in goal. Vicki said it was the best gaggle she had seen arrive at goal ever, imagine 40 plus gliders all trying to land at once!! I will up load pics soon.

Flocks out.

Windy start to the Worlds, just some fun pics.

Who is this imposter, there is only ONE Manfred!

This was part of the crazy opening ceremony with fireworks just metres from the crowd spraying sparks over everyone!

I have some vids in HD but the Italian internet is so slow It would take literally hours, so maybe back in Aus I can upload. Looks like we will fly tomorrow and the rest of the week is looking better.

BTW, does anyone want to buy an RS 3.5?  flockhartrod@hotmail.com if your keen.
