DAY .. 28.january 2010 - Wing
Borrowed Fredrik's wing for a session. Was going to do some winching but not enough time. Next time....

DAY .. 27.january 2010 - Nemo and Wing
Fredrik flew th ewing and I flew the Nemo. Nice half an hour with flying for both of us.
Got some cool video of Fredrik. He is getting good. Video HERE



 

DAY .. 24.january 2010 - Nemo
Did some flying for the kids of my girlfriend. Or maybe it was mostly me wanting some flights and them needing some time out?
Anyhow some video is recorded and the first by my girlfriend Veronika... HERE (7mb .wmv)

DAY .. 17.january 2010 - Ice
Me and the son of my girlfriend (Patrick 4 yrs) flew the EPP glider on buddy box and his own 2 motor china model on the ice.
No pictures sadly.

DAY .. 16.january 2010 - Ice
Some flying on the ice. I flew Fredrik's tiny EPP glider with motor installed and Gjermund (4 1/2 yrs son of Geir Atle) got some flying with the buddy box.

 

DAY .. 13.january 2010 - Joker
Cleared the rest of the field on the ice and we are ready for lots of events in March. 5-7.march IGG grossegler event. 13-14.march Microplanes. 19-21.march Fagernes Airshow. I took a photo with my Joker heli while Geir Atle continued clearing parking. Field is just over 500m long and about 40-45m wide.

DAY .. 12.january 2010 - Joker
Photoshoot for a place were they sell cabins. At 1000m altitude and I was amazed the temperature was only -4C and th esun was up. Down in the valley it was -17C so this is a good place to be and just 20m away... All photos was by my Joker heli and my D40X




DAY .. 9.january 2010 - Nemo and -28C
Yeah it is still cold (-34 yesterday) but I just had to fly a new Nemo fuse I fixed up so that both me and Fredrik have a Nemo DLG. And it is actually thermals on the ice at these temperatures and they can be detected. Difficult to center so better to stay upwind in the neutral wind when the small bugger is passing. Why? Because they are small and outside them the sink is heavy.
I made a video of the fun and it can be downloaded HERE (167mb .wmv) or easier Vimeo version HERE - Youtube HERE

DAY .. 4.january 2010 - CIt is cold!!!
We did some flying and got the field arranged on the ice with a whopping 600x40m. In March we will have IGG grossegler event 5-7.march - Microlight 13-14.march - and Fagernes Airshow 19-21.march (100 pilots from all over).
Here is some pictures from the Christmas and new year flying. I have flown Diablo (5 cell 3D plane) and Xplorer electro but the engine failed me so I have ordered another one. Then the battery on the Diablo had a bad connection... Well now it is -32C (-26F) on the ice so a few days without flying I guess... But the car starts just fine so we have cleared the snow ;)
There is also a new site on net. Be sure to check out www.f3j.hu that is being made now.
