Last Sunset of 2007 at BERG

Sagitta 600 silhouette against the last sunset of 2007 at BERG

After everyone had gone home Piet and I took advantage of the perfect weather to work the last few thermals of 2007 in the company of the BERG swallows and enjoy the last sunset. While we were flying Martie took some photos.

Good trim and minimum control inputs were essential for good flights and interesting that Piet's heavier Tsotsi outperformed his Gentle Lady in the still air conditions. Piet and I fetched the parachute so many times that when I got home I had enough grass seed in my shoes to start my own grass farm!

Here's wishing the very best for 2008 to all BERG members and blog readers.

Invitation to the BERG New Years Eve Fly-Out.

It’s not over Yet !!!.

Just as all the R/C gliders pilots thought that they can pack their gliders away until next year. STOP, come and join us at the BERG club for an afternoon "LAST FLIGHT" of the year. (Until sundown and a friendly gathering of all RC glider pilots.)
Bring your family and picnic basket, gazebo or tent for shade and for once you can leave your stopwatch and spot landing markers at home

A Tsotsi in a Christmas Tree?

Oh yes and don’t forget the campaign and campaign glasses. You will need this when the day’s flying is over and the sun sets for the last time in 2007,

Last year’s Fly-Out was a great successes and for those with bad memory’s (i.e. Alzheimer’s light) here are some pictures as a reminder.

PS. Charcoal Braai firers will be provide if you want to "bring and Braai".
