Aerotorp: juni 2011

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Norway Open 2011, Eurotour F3F. This years Norway Open, the 9th. turned in to be the best since the start 10 years ago. The competitors list had names from 7 different countries and we were 25 pilots in total. All pilots did a super job helping us to gain 16 rounds over two days. Friday was cancelled due to lack of wind but the forecast indicated around 8m/s from northwest the following days so we were not worried. Well, the forecast was wrong, in the end of the day it was around 15 m/s! On Sunday the wi...

Aerotorp: Asturia F3F 2009

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2009/06/asturia-f3f-2009.html

I decided on a short notice to attend the 2nd. Asturias Open F3F Eurotour in Gijon in the north of Spain. I team up with Tomas Eklund from Malaga and he picked me up in Madrid. Pictures here: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/aerotorp/AsturiasF3FOpen2009Gijon. The 3rd round was not finished due to severe wind change after 20 pilots had flown and unfortunately the third round was cancelled after a protest against the weather station, ironic since this was not due to failure over the weather station but more a f...

Aerotorp: Timing gear with weather station

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2009/02/timing-gear-with-weather-station.html

Timing gear with weather station. Kaare and I finally managed to assemble the timing gear on Sunday 8th February. Kaare has made a great job of developing the electronics and program. I have bought some materials from which to make a protective casing, the results of which are shown in the pictures below. What is so special with this timing gear unit? Well, we have incorporated the weather station in a very simple and effective way. The functionality will also enable the CD to define the windspeed range ...

Aerotorp: mai 2011

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Quiet for a long while. It has been quiet here for a long time. It is not because I have been sitting still and doing nothing. It has more to do with the fact that I have been busy with work. I also went to Vitoria, Spain (2010) with Tomas Eklund. Nice place! I should have gone to Wales but I had to cancel due to work. Last year I did not manage to do much kayaking. I hoping to be able to do a lot more this year. But I had one very nice trip to Oltedal, added some pics further down. Ended with me getting...

Aerotorp: Local F3F, Hodne

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2009/06/local-f3f-hodne.html

Local F3F, Hodne. We just hosted a local F3F competition on Sunday the 21st. of June with few pilots but super nice conditions on our local F3F hill, Hodne. The wind came straight in from the North Sea with 8-9 m/s strenght. Rolf B flew very well with his Aris and won before Arild (Freestyler) and Espen (RaceM/Ceres). 12 rounds was flown. Thanks to all 7 pilots that showed up and helped organizing the event. I will try to post some pictures here later. 1) Rolf Rettedal, 10847. 2) Arild Moellerhaug, 10759.

Aerotorp: juli 2011

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

The background for this trip was the Eurotour F3F at Hole of Horcum hosted by North York Moors Ridge Soaring Club. Next day we drove up to Pickering and the Hole of Horcum only to be sitting in the car at watch some other model fliers get extremely wet in the massive rain. After some time Stefan Bertschi, Dieter Perlick, Peter Kowalski and Torsten Herman came up from the main bowl. Anyway we had a little bit of bad luck as the air was moist and fog was present. So I am sorry that we did not get the c...

Aerotorp: Norwegian Championship F3F

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2008/09/norwegian-championship-f3f.html

The lcd display showing the weather data. Not much space to do landings, but I think no accidents occured. Depot, very close to the edge. But OK for this time since the wind speed was low. Sceptical guys following one of the flights. The weather station was placed a little bit down into to the slope to secure good and correct values. After 4 rounds I was in the lead ahead of Arild M and Bjoern Tore. Some new faces also showed up and the 2 youngsters from Bodoe, Joergen and William flew very well. You are...

Aerotorp: Trip to Mosteroy

http://aerotorp.blogspot.com/2009/07/trip-to-mosteroy.html

Got up early this Saturday to make sure I did not waste any time in traffic to get to Mosteroy when the water was still flat. I like it when I can look into the clear water with no waves. On my way out I called my friend Atle and asked him if I could park on his harbour site and of course it was no problem. In return I brought out my helicam and got some nice pictures of his farm. Here is a link with some pictures: http:/ picasaweb.google.com/aerotorp/Mosteroy472009. Send dette via e-post.
