Alpes du Sud

Here is a little slide show of the best shoots I get after spend 3 days flying around St André les Alpes!

3 flights and something like 600 km and more than 15 hours in the sky! In this period of heat wave It was pretty "cool" up there!

The Buzzard 17.4: Acro wing from Skyline

Just back from Italy, the weather is perfect at home for a little test flight on the new acro glider from Skyline; the Buzzard 17.4m !

Strong Lift and 500 m of gain every 10 min, Perfect to play with this new toy!

The wing is amazing, really fun and fast! The brake range is quiet long and the brake pressure high, Deep stall is easy to keep straight! Helicos are superfast but very stable. The Sat manouever is amazingly centrifugating! I thought I was loosing my brain ;-) The global handling of the wing is really forgiving so I always feel confident under(or above) it in any configuration! I'm looking forward for more sessions!

Here are a few snapshoots from the onbaord gopro...more soon!
