Four pilots from the Auckland Gliding Club had the opportunity to do some advanced cross country training with Sebastian Kawa. Mine was on the fourth day before Sebastian headed the the the Club class Nationals to be held in Taupo. We flew across the Hauraki planes and then just for practice flew back across and then back again before heading down the ridge to the Tauranga Road and out towards Arapuni. On the way home we left Mercer at at 2600' and cruised over Bombay village at 1300' easily getting back to Drury at about 900'
This Video shows the launch and then flying the energy line from Waitakaruru to Thames three times. The audio isn't the best from the back seat but goo enough to get the idea of what was going on.
Thanks again to Sebastian for a great day flying.
