HG Clinics in Brazil (Fall / Winter 2019)

Post by wmelo »

Beto has just published the calendar for HG Clinics in Brazil for Fall/Winter 2019.

Mark and I are going to Brasilia this August. Although I will not attend the Brazilian HG Competition (Aug 10 to 18), we are planning to fly during and after the competition.

Mark and I will try to bring our gliders...if AA does not accept them, we will rent again gliders from Beto (he has an almost new T2, a few Falcons and some old double surfaces).

I am also interested in going to "Praia da Ponta do Mel" https://images.app.goo.gl/be97CK5ZM2W3UdXFA in November.

For more information about the "Ponta do Mel PG/HG" site, check: http://www.guia4ventos.com.br/rampas-do ... -do-mel-rn
  • Pros: Perfect place to practice free lift flight, depending on the wind conditions, flights up to 400 meters high, sighting the Atlantic Ocean, APA of the dunes of Rosado (Second largest dune park in Brazil), Port Island ( Sea platform 26 km from the mainland for the transport of salt), and the wind farm. Not to mention that the view of the sunset is incredible.
  • Cons: Take-off with strong wind, requires attention. The temperature of the ocean is very cold: 82F :D
It would be nice if other pilots from our club would join us.
