2008 - Perfect SL
- Not so much flying lately but I have
now and then had some Nemo flights that
I have not written about here. So easy
to just stop the car and have some
throws ;) But today the weather was too
good to get spoiled over a cup coffee..
-5C, almost dead calm (some small
thermals) and sunshine to warm me up. So
my Perfect SL came out and I had 4 long
flights of the winch. 2.4GHz seems to
work I just have to set the preset on
the Rx to match neutral on channel 1..
Cant seem to get that to work..

2008 - Winter F3J
- 9 pilots. 4 from Sweden and 5 from
Norway attended a great Winter F3J today
and we had a blast. 4 preliminary round
and no finals on winches but other to
the F3J rules with a lunch (hot swedish
soup) made it a battle and we all love
that. With no finals one had to win it
all and I did not. My team had some
linebreaks (on a new 1,45 line...) and I
had to try to win a slot with the height
I got in round 3 and 4. Managed it in
round 4 but in round 3 I landed out and
got a zero. But the feeling is good and
this is the battle we need during a long
winter ;) Lovely weather (+3 and sun)
and a little breeze on the ground and
strong winds at launch height. Flew the
whole competition with my SSL Perfect
and on 2,4Ghz. Might have felt a couple
of glitches but I flew far away and low
at times and it went ok. I now have an
extra antenna out the bottom a bit aft
of the hook.

2008 - Perfect E SL
- A bit cold with -10C but had to get
out and fly a bit. Some flights with the
Perfect Electro SL and in today's
conditions I could just float and float
and float... Very thick air that
suddenly changed for some minutes before
it was silky smooth again.

2008
- We are one of few with nice conditions
so we had a visitor with a 1/2 scale
tiger moth and Kjell Arne and me also
flew a lot today. Nice cloudy but calm
conditions and I flew my Adrenaline 2M 3
flights.

2008 - Indoor
- A bit of indoor is always great and
this season has started. 3 year old
Gjermund Kjørli also flew both mini
chopper and his fathers 2 rotor. Welcome
in the club Gjermund. I flew my two
NoLiemit's one on 2,4GHz and one on
35MHz. Both working well and only
difference is length of antenna really..

2008 - Perfect SL and Nemo
- Out with the winch and a good time.
Nice to get out even if it was a bit
turbulent today. Wind came across the
valley making turbulence but also a lot
of upgoing winds so I could work myself
up. Could fly as long as I wanted and
had a good hour almost of flying time
with my Perfect SL. Flew the Nemo
afterwards. Do NOT push the range button
on the X9303 2,4GHz while in the air...
You will loose the signal too long...

2008 - Season meeting
- Went to Oslo for a season meeting in
the Cirrus club. We discussed the coming
season and various comp. issues. I felt
it was a very good meeting and maybe we
can get this club back on track on the
competition scene. This year this club
alone will have 4 F3J and 4 F3B National
cupevents including the Nationals in
F3J. What a great leap forward! There
might be slightly less pilots in each
event the first year but mostly having
more fun grows more fun overall.

2008 - Perfect SL
- Out flying my SL today on winch.
Always great to get some launching done!
Calm conditions and a couple of degrees
minus. Did some flight modes checking
and as always there is some tweaking
that can be done. You probably wonder
why my launches are straight.. This is
some due to the wide lens of the camera
and also that I use slippery gloves so a
more forward "let go" is used.

2008 - Perfect electro
- Lots of snowfall lately but we have
kept the big field open (400x40m) and
after remoivig snow for an hour today I
took out the Perfect electro and had 2
long flights. A couple of other guys
also was out in the light snowing
weather and -2C. Not very good weather
to take pictures but with a flash I
managed some ok pictures.
