Hard flying, King proto
28. May, 2012
Yesterday Aljaž was flying 173km OLC or 149.8km FAI triangle. Weather was not really favorable with occasional showers that he needed to avoid including some low altitudes on critical mountain passes. Aljaž said, that sometimes it was looking impossible to climb doe to the big cloud overcasts.
Megagalactic XC flying
16. May, 2012
Yesterday we had quite good conditions for long flights in Slovenian and neighboring Alps. Two ROOK pilots were flying over 200km! Tilen Ceglar 218km and Primoz Susa with the longest overall flight of the day 239km. Flights could be longer as we were flying very fast but cloud base got low in Italy and it would be impossible to return over the "mouse trap pass", so we rather headed back.
XC course with Rook
12. May, 2012
First practical day of XC course we had couple of options on a not really perfect day. Finally we decided to cross into Austria with the idea to end somewhere near Zell em See. With a bit of faster flying we could do it but overcast stopped us just when it become interesting.
Tilens first flight
12. May, 2012
Instead of receiving the glider by mail, Tilen picked it up himself and flew back home...
Klavdij went for a real Rook XC test flight!
23. March, 2012
With his first flight, he was flying over Julian Alps and finally made 91.9km. Overall some really nice routes and a flight we can envy!
His comment was "The glider is flying!" and "I could go a little bit higher over Vršič pass!"
