Yesterday was a good day up in the sky.

So many firsts in a single flight for me.

This is the kind of thing that paraglider and hangglider pilots live in fear of. Thankfully it is extremely rare but there was also a recent collision in Texas where both pilots died. youtu.be/_3En6YCoMBw #freeflight #aviation #paragliding #cessna

I just heard that Bill Moyes passed away this September at the age of 92. He was a hang-gliding pioneer and fearless pilot who effectively founded the sport in the 1960s. An inspirational figure to all those who participate in freeflight. RIP.

And finally: A looong glide (plus two thermals) from the Weissmies peak (4017m) down to Domodossola (240m).
That flight took a bit of planning. The direct route over Passo di Pontimia would have been shorter, but the Valle di Bognanco looks pretty unlandable. So we took the slightly longer route via Passo d'Andolla and the Valle d'Antrona.

It's been almost 5 years since I quit paragliding due to an almost very bad accident (dodged a bullet) but I can still relate to this. The highs are amazing - no pun intended - but it is also a fantastic exercising in hours, days, weeks or even months of "parawaiting" for those epic flights.
But I still have no regrets - free flight using nothing but solar power (wind and thermals) is amazing.

The first of the tiny "Burn Baby Burn" #PCB's that arrived from @oshpark the other day has been assembled and tested! Works well. Useful for cutting nylon line or rubber bands for #HAB cutaway, #Rocketry stuff, #Parachute reefing, #Freeflight dethermalising etc!

Just updated this blog post where I keep track of everything I've written for Hackspace magazine.. Todays updates include supercapacitor powered planes, advanced laminated paper planes and #KiCad 7! #making #pcb #freeflight https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2019/05/hackspace-magazine-keeping-track-of-my.html

I've been building some #freeflight, supercapacitor driven, planes for an upcoming #HackspaceMagazine article. Was almost calm enough to test fly this one outside today! But not quite! Hoping to indoor fly this weekend! #electronics #making

Also today, my twin boom supercapacitor free flight design (article soon in #HackSpace Mag on @Raspberry_Pi press ) had some flights... it does like collecting the walls though! #FreeFlight #Flight #ConcretedogsFlightLab

Working on a self deploying Rogallo wing. Whilst testing will be blowing this out of a tube, eventually it will be deployed from a small #rocket :) #rocketry #freeflight #ConcretedogsFlightLab

Rogallo development continues... tonight an attempt at a micro supercapacitor powered wing. Also done a bit more work on the 1m span prototype.#FreeFlight #Making #MessyDesk #ConcretedogsFlightLab

Still making iterations of smaller Rogallo wing models as well as working the larger one. I think this one is ripe for some extra development as it flies/glides very nicely. I made a slightly more complex frame with dihedral but tbh the flat frames that are simpler work well. #FreeFlight #Flight #Prototyping

Another angle of a test flight of "Octopod mk1", some great results today that will inform the next iteration! #FreeFlight
