2015-12-18 Cub on ice
Today I did the first ice landnign with the cub, and te first ice landng this winter. This time it was the small lake Statjärn.
THe bad thing is that is have started to be varm again so the ice will melt slowly.
Video of the landing: YouTube
2015-12-13 Cub-flying
It was a fantasic winterday and I flew lot of cub. The ice is a little to thin for landing, but only a few centimeters more and they will be good for landing. I had a fantastic view of both sunrise and sunset from the air.Det har vart fantastiskt fint vinterväder och det blev några timmar cub. Isarna är lite för tunna för att landa på än, det fattas några centimeter.
Jag fick skåda både soluppgången och solnedgången från luften.

2015-04-25 Update
Finally time for some updates here at the blog. There has been many things going on the last months so there hasn't been any time left for the blog and webpage. But I will keep you updated from now on.
During the winter time there has been a lot of flying. the weather has been great and there has been great ice on the lakes around here. I landed on the ice for the first time in December and last time in March. Here is some winter flying pictures:
This winter I also have changed work. I quit at Peab after 1,5 years and I am now working for Åkerströms in Björbo as an mechanical engineer. I have also been to China for some work, I visited Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin.
Me and Håkan in Shanghai
I have participated in the EAC (European Airshow Council) in Antwerpen, Belgien. It is an conference/exhibition for airshow business. The participants are mostly from Europe but some also from outside Europe.
My two roll ups
I have been doing the yearly maintenace on SE-UVJ and performed some flights with it so it is ready for the 2015 season.
I have updated my calender for 2015 and I have many exiting places to fly at this summer, among others Greece and Belgium. Read more at Airshow.
It is also airshow here in Dala-Järna this summer and I am pretty involved in the work for the show and we have been working since the winter. I am not sure yet what show I will perform but it will be ubliched here later. There is a new webpage online for our airhsow, check it out for latest news: flygfesten.com
