Weekend Report: Tanqua
Saturday
One aerotow launch with GOK after which the tug was packed away as the day was blown out (AGAIN!)
Sunday
A nice bubbly day with 34 launches and a soaring ceiling of about 3500’ – quite respectable. Quite a lot of flying was done with 17 winch launches and 17 aerotows. See what you missed! Among others airborne was Ari Cotton in the high performance version of the Spatz, the famous L-Spatz. Also reported airborne were Chris Loedolf in his Astir, Craig Fussell in GOK.
William J Whittaker brought a troop of boy scouts which added to the activity – thanks William.
Fun and games at the Tanqua power fly-in included two prop strikes – fly-in but drive-out.
Hope you are all enjoying the KK – I have been pointed to yet another glitch with the second last paragraph on page one – obviously it refers to the Rotax-Motorfalke – apologies once again.
You folk who are straining at the bit to go cross-country for badge flying, remember that the spring weather is usually far better than the mid-summer weather. Come and fly! If you still need to get you cross-country clearance, hopefully the Falke will be ready with Nicky at the controls soon.
Maybe we can finally get to do some of that much talked about but not-yet-tried lead-and-follow training?
