In Januar we didnt have so good weather here in Slovenia. We organised some theory lessons for our students and Slovenian paragliding pilots.

Flymaster Avionics presents the innovative Flymaster LIVE, which includes the new FLYMASTER LIVE-TRACKING NAVIGATION SYSTEM(Patent Pending) recently proven at the 2011 X-Alps.

The system enables real-time flight monitoring - live-tracking – over GoogleEarth, therefore enhancing the sharing of free flight emotions and contributing significantly to improve flight safety. In addition to the configurable fields on the instrument itself, the LIVE allows the user to customize and define the layout of his instrument’s screen.

Flymaster LIVE has restricted airspace features, promoting significant increased safety. The new structural design of the LIVE casing provides high strength and anti-glare protection of the screen against scratches and breaking. Like the B1-NAV, the Flymaster LIVE makes navigation simple on cross-country and competition flights, ensuring the best value for money on the market, adding a significant increase in safety.

Another good day of racing in Valle de Bravo saw a 118.5km race to goal set, and 62 pilots in goal. First in and top of the day’s rankings was Luc Armant (FR, Ozone EnZo), and joint second in the day’s results were Marc Wensauer (DE, Ozone EnZo) and Peter Neuenschwander (CH, Ozone EnZo).

Andre Rainsford commented on his blog: “Such is the intensity and competitiveness of this field that after 114km with several gaggle splits, lead changes, complicated transitions and desperate scratching only five minutes separated the first 44 pilots.”

With fewer pilots in goal than we have seen in the previous tasks, Petra Slivova was the only woman who made it in on task four. She retains her overall first place in the women’s rankings.Venezuelan Juan Carlos Becerra Gonzalez is now top of the overall table, before Frenchmen Lucas Bernardin and Jean-Marc Caron. France are still the leading nation.

Seiko’s missing task results seen yesterday was just a small glitch in the scoring system which has now been rectified, and she is back up in second place in the overall women’s rankings.

Tretja dirka Super finala v jadralnem padalstvu je postregla z 110 km dolgo disciplino. Zaradi dobrega vremena so piloti leteli tudi nad 4100 m.n.v. Kjub temu je zmagovalec za prihod v cilj potreboval 2:47:50 min. Zaradi zapletenega točkovalnega sistema sta si  prvo mesto delila francoz Luc Arman in italijan Laca Donini.
Na odlično tretje mesto je priletel naš Jurij Vidic, ki iz dirke v dirko leti boljše.  Slovenski uspeh sta potrdila še Klemen  Peljhan, ki je preletel ciljno črto kot 17. Dosedaj naš najboljši Dušan Orož, kateremu se štartni pilon ni posrečil  je  zasedel 29.mesto. Marko Novak pa je bil 68-ti.
V skupnem seštevku vodi francoz Lucas Bernardin. Odlično 7. in 8. mesto pa zasedata Jurij Vidic in Dušan Orož. Pred tekmovalci je še sedem tekmovalnih dni in glede na tradicijo dobrega vremena v dolini Valle de Bravo se tekmovalci nadejajo na uspešno izvedbo vseh.

Današnja druga disciplina finala svetovnega pokala v jadralnem padalstvu v dolžini 91,85 km je ponovno postregla z razburljivim letenjem. Visoka oblačnost je občasno prekrivala sonce – vir termičnega razvoja. Kljub temu je kar 97 pilotov uspešno opravilo z disciplino.  
Slovenski predstavniki so se tudi tokrat odrezali odlično.  Jurij Vidic z odličnim 4. mestom, 4 minute za zmagovalcem Juan Carlos iz Venezuele, je bil danes najhitrejši med Slovenci.
Naš včeraj najboljši Dušan Orož pa se je z današnjim 16. mestom zavihtel na odlično 6 mesto v skupni razvstitvi.
Ostali naši pa so zasedli: Klemen Peljhan 37. mesto in Marko Novak 75. mesto.
» Celo dirko sem  letel v vodilni skupini. Med dirko se nam je kar dvakrat zgodilo, da so predel kjer smo leteli oblaki prekrili sonce, zato smo se znašli precej nizko. Z  borbenim letenjem sem ciljno črto vseeno uspel preleteti kot  četrti » je na pristanku povedal Jurij Vidic

Z današnjo prvo tekmovalno disciplino se je tako tudi uradno pričela najprestižnejša tekma sezone v jadralnem padalstvu. Disciplina dolga 61,7 km se je zaradi močnega vetra izkazala za taktično izredno zahtevno. Zlasti zadnjih 20 km dirke, ko je sledil ciljni dolet, so se zaradi majhnih višin pilotov njihove pozicije hitro menjale. Zahtevne  pogoje je izvrstno izkoristil naš Dušan Orož, ki je z rezultatom kariere zasedel odlično 3.mesto. Zmagal je Švicar Hans Bollinger, s časom 1:41:54 .
Ostali naši tekmovalci, ki so sicer odlično leteli skozi vso dirko zaradi prej omenjenih nepredvidljivih pogojev ciljni dolet ni uspel najbolje. Tako so zasedli: 27. mesto Klemen Peljhan, 51. mesto Jurij Vidic, 100. mesto Marko Novak. Še večjo smolo pa je imel Primož Podobnik, ki bi prav tako zasedel odlično mesto, vendar se mu je med letom pokvaril letalni inštrument. S tem je izgubil vse podatke o poletu, kar ga je uvrstilo na rep razpredelnice.                                                                          
» Z današnjim letenjem in rezultatom sem zelo zadovoljen. Resnično sem vesel, da mi je uspel predvsem zadnji del dirke.« je po pristanku povedal danes naš najboljši Dušan Orož.  http://www.paraglidingworldcup.org/node/2005
