Cool glider-pictures
Here are some pictures taken over the years, all of gliders.
The
Cito of Fritz and my own Ellipse 2V in pursuit low pass up along the cliff at
'Pila' on Rennesøy. Picture taken by Espen Torp.
Espen
Torp and myself with inverted Ellipse 2V. This was to test a theory that
inverted V-tail is superior to normal. Must be landed inverted, with lots of
flaps.
Fritz is testing his new (1999) model. All composite, inverted V-tail.
Picture is taken at Obrestad.
Fritz
with his BIG (4m) flying wing. Majestic flight, but difficult to control.
Two
(Fritz's and mine) MiniEllipse's I very close stall turn. Espen Torp is photographer.
The remains of my first all-composite glider. An Aist,
made in Ukraine. Guy's ... keep those batteries fully charged !!
The
result of a low and fast turn on slope. The Ellipse wingtip hit a fencepost and
was cut off. It's repaired and has flown a lot since then.
Fritz
and me again, now with equal home made 60" gliders. Inverted V-tail
on these also. Picture taken at Lifjell above Boe in Telemark. The
Norwegian team at Viking Race 1994, in Scotland. Picture is taken on top of
Bishops Hill.
