09-10-12 Update
There is a long time since last update of the blog, but it is not because I not have done anything. I have not have any time left. I like to put a lot of pictures, so here follows some pictures and text about what has happened since last time.
15 September arrenged we our club aerobatic competiton called KLG-Cup where everybody flies our Bellanca Super Decathlon. I was number one with 75,89%. We was 7 competitors and flew 3 flight.
21 September we had a club competition in spotlandning with gliders. With 11 competitiors I finished first after two landings with totally 1,8m from the line. I had some help by my mother as copilot in backseat.
29 September me, Sebastian and Jonathan from our club was to Vängsö at the Swedish chapionship in spotlanding for young people. My results was not the best, I was number 6. Sebastian who is prepering for flight at the picture was number 4. Jonathan number 7.
I have also been flying a lot in the Fox.
During the weekend 6-7 October I was in Motala with the Fox and Daniel Ahlin. We flew a lot with people who would like to test aerobatics. We did also judge the club championship in Basic and Sportsman. It is very fun to see that the interest for glider aerobatic is growing in Sweden. I know that there is some young poeple who are talanted and motivated as will in some years be fighting about the medals at international championships.
