Some building images from a gent in germany, some interesting images and techniques. The DG1000 is a wonderful machine and the owner has spent time creating a great looking model.

Well, the 2008 Toowoomba Aerotow was on again with excellent weather, I spent most of saturday and a small amount of sunday watching and learning the ropes when it comes to towing gliders.

The Thermal activity took my breath away, thermals everywhere and most pilots had 20-30 minute flights.

On the sunday we had all piolts in the air, the tug pilot walked back past me and said "see, happy glider pilots!" and so true, all face's pointed upwards and not a word being spoken!

Anyway, I've placed the pics in the gallery and youtube videos below.

The toowooba aerotow is on this weekend, I was up there last weekend for my wifes business checking out some slopes. I did find 2 that suite EPP planes, but nothing for scale.
A ring road called Henry Drive just north of the highway that comes up the range, had two places, a northerly site and a SE/E from my bearings. Small thermals and a light breeze but not enough to hold up my SteppUp, well maybe there was but i didnt want to go climbing dwn the face to retrieve it in case of a no lift scenario. Actually it was steep, very steep in both places and very difficult to recover a plane.

Anyway, Tooowoomba Aerotow info below; I'll be taking the camera to take some snap shots.
