The comp in March

Will any of you be keen to be part of the Machado Open? One thing though we need a comp director who is good. Some suggestions is to get one of the microlight SA team to do this or is there another person who is willing?
Keith were you going to continue flying comps? I know you said no more but I also know the thrill of just being a pilots is also very attractive.
If we are able to get funds for this the Michele Carne is willing to be one this is usually very expensive though.

World Paragliding Championships 2011 - South Africa

Breaking News...
Ok for some not others.

While in China in 2007 we were asked to host the next WPC but were not capable of getting this off the ground so now we were asked again in 2009 in Czech to host the 2011 event. I am all for this and am committing to getting the ball rolling now to bring the event back to Africa.
After this last worlds a couple of key delegates were asked to be part of a meeting in one of the tents, I was part of this. The question once again was asked for me to get involved and be on the Cima committee, this time I said I would find out from the SA Delegate to put me forward for the PPG position. And then again they really expressed the fact that all the countries would support the bit for South Africa to host this event, so far as to pull any other bid for 2011 if we were prepared to host this.
I have thought hard and long about this and am going all out to get the next worlds to South Africa. So far I have been in contact with our SAHPA representatives and am getting full support from them to go ahead with there support and assistance. I have spoken to the SA CIMA delegate and he is over the moon to have me involved  and that we are going to put in a bit for the worlds. Sahpa are busy with a sponsor and will approach them to assist with funding this event, if we can just land one big sponsor then we will have no trouble in getting additional sponsors for the event. If we play our cards right then the interactive competition can also be on the cards via GPS locators sending tracks back to a main server. This would add a level of Spectator value. But at the same time we are allowed to change the format of the competition to suit, on condition we make the rules and submit them to the CIMA meeting for approval. I have a few ideas for this and will share them later so we can draw spectators to the event too.

We now need a venue, My suggestion in the lowvelt area of Barbeton. This give us a Holiday small town environment and also it gives the visiting pilots a sense that they are in Africa, the game reserve is close and easily assessable to visit on the days before and after the event. Also many very successful PG events are flown in the town.
What we need from the PPG community is support with this event. Marshals and officials will be required in a big way, contacts for marketing this will be required, Sponsors will need to be approached, Media coverage for the event is essential, the bid and rules and tasks formulated, a steering committee organized and lost of smaller comps flown to find the next South African team to take part in this champs.
The fact that this comp is going to be in South Africa and at an altitude that will be easy to fly at for most pilots we need to then get our neighboring countries to also be involved. Namibia, Botswana & Zambia have pilots who are either flying or learning to fly.

Traveling home

The Team spilt up on the 10th August. Tony and Riaan headed South with Pavel from Nirvana (who placed 2nd in the PF1)and the rest of the team headed for some R&R in Prague. Riaan and I (tony) were driven to Zlin to visit the Nirvana factory and discuss business, this was rather hectic and we managed to assist in the design of some new product that will be coming to the market in about 24 months from now. Then we caught a train to Prague and even though we were in the same town as our team mates we were just too far apart to meet up before our next train via Austria to Zurich. This was a long trip and we managed to have a sleeping car so got a bad night sleep and arrived while the town was sleeping. Then after some walk abouts got back on a train to Luzern. A very nice place to visit. then again later the day to our hosts house in Egliswil (www.egliswil.ch)

More traveling then home on Sunday some time. Thanks everyone for supporting the SA team while we were out Flying we tried hard and did will in some sectors and others we blew it. One thing for the future i have to remember not to hold back as i tend to make mistakes then. Next comp full speed ahead.
2011 South Africa for the Worlds hosting the event, We need help.

Final team positions

Posted by Pieter

Saturday we were looking forward to some "jollie patrollie" flying, but yet again the wind had the better of us. In strong wind conditions we all had short flights for old times sake. The rest of the day was spent stripping machines, sterilising and packing up. We were also eagerly awaiting the final team scores.

After being in 5th position for most of the comp we were sad to see that Italy over took us on the very last task.

Final team standings (PF1 - Solo Foot launch): out of 16 Teams

1st - Czech

2nd - Britain

3rd - Poland

4th - Spain

5th - Italy
6th - South Africa

PF2 - Tandem Foot launch (Anton & Mias) - 6th

PL1 - Single Trikes (Riaan & Paul) - 5th out of 8teams

Much was learned by all, and the unanimous feeling is on of "if only". The bottom line is that at this level of competition there is just no margin for any error. As a team we have improved on the 2007 worlds performance from 9th to 6th. The level of experience is constantly improving but we definattely need to have more local competitions if we ever want to be a podium contender in the world arena.

Keeping in mind that SA and Brazil (with only two team members) were the only Southern hemisphere teams, and secondly that most European teams have 10 to 20 times as many pilots in the country than SA, we surprised many other countries.

Ricky waxes the last task

On Friday afternoon the last task (figure 8 slalom) of the competition, was flown.

Ricky had some engine trouble and missed his slot. He managed to get airborne again and had to wait for the full field to complete before he could do his task. With the current leaders going last the crowd was chearing for the top-dogs. They had no idea what to expect from the unknown South African comming in after the world's best.

After an outstanding run Ricky managed to score the second best time of the comp for the task and received a huge cheer from the crowd. We'll done Ricky! Unfortunately rulles are rules and he got penalised with 20% of his score for missing his slot.

The SA positions for the task.
Ricky - 11th
Tony - 32nd
Pieter -35th (Also received 20% penalty for missing his slot)

Upity, up, up and a miss

Post by Tony

This morning was a rather interesting task calling for the Triangle Circle Task. We had a wind blowing in from the North this morning at 4:45am and take off was 6am. The first pilots through from SA were Peiter on Deck 2 and Mias and Anton in on deck 1. Both had incidents and pieter was able to run his task again after another pilot cut him off. Our Tandem Marathon team have decided the half Matathon run is easier to get off the ground and they flew the task but some how managed to clip there prop and decided to bail the task and return to the landing deck. Paul had his throttle get stuck at full power as he rounded the Pylon and had to kill his motor and then land in the task area for saftey reasons. He is fine and ready for the next task to be flown. The rest of us had great flights with some of us getting all the pylons and kick and some missing one or two.
i got a big scare when i kicked the first padded pylon it folded over and grabbed my speed bar and pulled me over forward before releasing again. I still continued to the next and eventualy missed the same pylon that grabbed me to finninsh with an OK time . Kieth i think did the bets out of all of us on this with closed trims and full speed bar.

the wind is around 35km/h now and the task window has been open for 1h30min and we are still sitting here waiting for somethin to happen. no one seems interested in taking the risk in flying this. But dont get me wrong we are rearing to get ing the air because this task is easy point as it is a waypoint hunt and we are fast so can collect them fast.

Tention running high as comp nears the end

Posted by Pieter

Task 10 score is in. It was a slow/fast run task where you first do your slowest possible run, kicking four sticks and then do your fastest possible run kicking four stick again. All done in a straight line.

Well done again Keith for a 6th place over all for this, Tony in 8th and Ricky at 18th. Keith & Tony had 20 & 21km/h differences between slow and fast with Ricky at 18. The task was done in gusting wind conditions again which made it very tricky. (I had a fair slow run but then had a full speed hovercraft landing at the start of the fast run)

Worth mentioning is Michel Carnet of the British team's first place with an awesome 29km/h difference. Noting that the second best was only 22. Taking into account the wind conditions at the time that was outstanding.

The SA team is still placed 5th out of 16 but with Italy & Canada close on our heals. The Polish team at 4th is more than 3000 points ahead of us and definitely out of reach now. The organisers will be trying for two last tasks on Friday.

Keith second best in Worlds for clover leaf slalom

Well done to Keith for a second place with his 47 sec. clover leaf slalom task. The task was won by Grezgorz form Poland with a 43 sec. run.

The task was run in fresh wind conditions which made it difficult for all pilots. Keith could have shaved a couple more second of his time but had to take some avoiding action not to fly the marshall table (which was very badly placed) to pieces.

Ricky & Tony also did quite respectable times with 54 & 57 sec. respectively but were penalised for missing one stick.

Callie got the second SA position with a clean run of 1:11

More on technicality woes

Posted by Pieter

I've posted before about the small margin between hero & zero in this comp. Another small example herewith.

The blue line in the picture shows my track log, suppossedly crossing the end gate landing from left to right on task 5. Thing is, the thin, straight white line with red ends is unfortunately not realy vissible. The two white (L shaped) runway end markers are actualy vissible but they are actualy to be ignored.

If you studied the documentation propperly (all of about 45 394 pages of it) you would have known that the end gate is an immaginary line running North-South, intersecting the middle point of two red markers on the edge of the airfield. Obviously!

So, another of those task that you practised, preppared, flew and score Zero for because you mis the end gate by 20meters. At least it's the kind of mistake that you only make once. From here on it will only get better.

Task 9 - Such is life

Posted by Martin

Today started out with another Navigation task. In this one we had to fly out to a point 10km away directly into a 12km/h wind. There were 3 sections to this task. Average speed over all three sections had to be declared.

The first leg was a straight upwind leg into wind avoiding no fly zones. The second leg was a deliberately give squigly line or meandering route that was 44km long. The last leg was a straight downwind run with the wind. All the different directions into and with the wind makes it very difficult to declare a average speed over the course. To help you make do this, you set up time markers all along the route. Theoretically if you hit each one on the right time, your average time will be spot on.

In international competitions such as this, i have come to realise, it is not as much the hot shot pilots who scores the best, but more those who consistantly does not mess up. With this in mind my tactic was to not push any individual task but to consistantly score in each task. This has worked fairly well for me so far. Yesterday there were some mishaps in the cloverleaf and even though i have a slow time there, i managed to claw my way to the first slot in the SA team (unofficially so far). Shortlived i have to assume since although victory, i was toaught, might just be around the next bend, dissapointment lurks around the next dark corner.

Halfway through this task that i believe i was nailing (navigation is my best skill),i realise that i have not switched on my logger, or my back up logger. This effectively means ZERO, ZIP, NADA score since there is no proof of my flight. Realising this i turned around and headed home.

Oh well such is life. Better luck next time and all that rubbish.

Prep for task and flying

Tony with his new motor. (look Ma no cage lines)

Task Prep as a team

some pilots

Monday 3 Aug

The mornings navigation task was cancelled due to weather and winds being bad. We therefore decided to do a bit of sight-seeing. We went through to Nachod to the Zamek (castle). This castle has 2 live bears in its fort. After that we quickly visited old world war 2 bunkers but we did not have enough time to explore. We will definately try get back there again.

In the afternoon, the clover leaf was completed.

Clover Leaf task Blow-out

Post by Tony

Yesterday afternoon was the clover task and the wind was strong and dying off towards the evening. 8pm.
I was flying 3rd last on this task, this gave me a perfect opportunity to push the wing to it’s limits as the wind was almost settled.
I got airborne with my new riser system for the Plasma and tested it’s turn and speed for the first time only minutes before entering the task. The wing was rock solid and super fast now. My number appeared and from the holding deck I lined up and entered the task  at full speed. I held a low track and as I hit the stick for the first time I realized the stick was heavier and harder than I imagined because it felt like some one belted my under my right foot with a bat. I did the first turn and all was good and again hit the stick again and again it felt like I was hit hard with the bat. My second turn was smooth with a slight drift outward but and easy correction and lined up for the 3rd kick. I hit it again, and with the shock of the hit I pulled my foot back a little and ballooned up so high I was unable to to make the turn in and kick the stick again so missed the next kick and then just finished the task with penalties. Unfortunately for me I blew it. The polish have a stunning time for this one and will be the leaders in the clover for another few years by the looks of things . Well done to them.

I was told after wards by a bunch of pilots that they all went out to the field to watch and back me for this event. Sorry I did not make it the show you all wanted. Next time chaps.

From Hero to Zero in a single turn

Posted by Pieter

By now you've seen many report on our progres but not had much insider info. So here follows a short report on my woes.

At this level of competition the margin for error is just so smal that a single turn can drop you down from a pottentialy good score to Zero in a single turn.

Take task 3 for instance. Limmited Fuel, 50.8km distance,5 turnpoints, start & finish gates, 14 photos to recognise and mark en route. Map work prepparation for a task like this can easily take up to 1 and a half hours. Fueling procedure another hour, ordered take off sequence add another half hour. Flight time on this was about 1hr 15. In total more than 4 hours. Shortly before the task a new Now fly zone got published, with the edge being about 60meters of from our flight path. Although turnpoints have radiuses of 200 meters allowing for in-accuracies, No fly zones have a zero meter margin for error.

4 Hours of activity. Less than 1 minute veering of track by 50 meters drifted me onto the edge of the no fly Zone. In stead of a 16th place I dropped down to dead last with Zero score.
