Our usual hang gliding at Stanwell Tops (between Sydney and Wollongong) was called off due to weather, so I took advantage of the time to test some equipment for my upcoming one-day gig in Moscow, Russia (keep an eye the blog).

We headed to Lake George, Canberra to do some car towing.

CHECK OUT this place! (view from the Moyes Sonic 165)

The flying community is strong and it didn't take much to spark up some local interest. Carl, Dave, Trent, Deb, Dan, and Bucky all turned up for the party on the lake-bed.

Here's Carl foot-launching via a static-line car towing:

And another pilot coming returning to the mothership after "boating" above the lake-bed:

Things went smooth as we had all of the main safety gear on hand: tow-pressure gauge, UHF radios, weak links, good tow bridles, and an observer. -Mom will be proud.

Thanks to the guys at the Canberra Hang Gliding Club. Next time, we'll rendezvous at our place, for some hang gliding and surfing at Stanwell Park.
