1650 m asl camping and possible launch.
Clouds come from the south to cover launch as early as 11am.
Launch abandoned. Nice camping site though. Will try again in feature.
Locals reckon it gets more foggier in winter. Let's see.
Location: Between Tainan and Nantou.

Retired hang gliders in the hangar at Nanhua airstrip - not
in use anymore.

doing what I do best...flying

 

What do you do when...

the weather looks promising, summer is coming to an end
and you are looking forward to a long flight...when

I put up my glider and get this far. I put in the left wing tipwand...

 

And then I broke the right tipwand...damn. It had cracks in
it and I was postponing replacing them. Good thing it broke
now and not later in the flight. I was kinda relief then!

 

Plan B: setup the Atlas.

 

Fly the atlas.
