gday mates !
ich bin von den Organisatoren in Queensland gebeten wurden noch einmal auf den Wettbewerb (FAI CAT2) in Killarney zu verweisen.
Termin: 27.1.2007 - 4.2.2007
Der Wettbewerb ist genauso professionell organisiert wie die Comps in Manilla und findet nächstes Jahr zum 2. Male statt, kurz vor den XC Manilla Open 2007 .
Dem Veranstalter, einer der besten Piloten in down under, gehört übrigens der Startplatz.
Man beachte:
Die Kommentare der australischen Piloten vom letzten Jahr waren durchweg positiv bis euphorisch, was ähnlich wie in der deutschen Liga sehr sehr selten vorkommt (nur der kleine Startplatz wäre zu bemängeln...) !
Es sind wohl noch einige Plätze zu vergeben.
Mein Tip an die Teilnehmer XC OPEN in MANILLA :
Einschreiben und zwei FAI CAT2Wettkämpfe mitnehmen !
Hätte ggf. auch noch 2 Sitze in meinem retrief (4wd) zu vergeben.
Ausführlichere Infos zu dem Thema gerne persönlich:

To German Paraglider Pilots
We would like to invite you and your team to attend the
KILLARNEY PARAGLIDING CLASSIC 2007
27th January to the 3rd February 2007 in Queensland Australia
This will be a great opportunity for you to get a feel for the Australian flying conditions as Killarney has a very similar weather pattern and conditions to Manilla NSW where you will be flying the World Championships
Killarney, Queensland ‘AAA’ HGFA Sanctioned, FAI Category 2 Paragliding Competition.
Killarney is three hours drive inland from the Gold Coast and 2 ½ hours from Brisbane & 5 hours drive to Manilla. The take-off has been bought by Queensland Pilot Andrew Horchner, and Wendy Mugridge who will be hosting the event.
Killarney offers some of the best cross country flying in Queensland; it has five launch sites that cover most directions in a very close proximity of each other. In this area there are 1000’s of kilometers of wide open flatlands to the west with excellent road networks throughout the area. In the past people have accomplished rewarding flights, flying over and gazing down upon extinct volcanic plugs and the immense, picturesque flatlands of the Darling Downs. It is only 300 kms from Killarney to Mt. Bora Manilla to the south. It’s a must for your paragliding competition calendar.
The organization will be supplying Four Wheel Drive Bomb-out retrieves for the comp back to launch or back to serviceable roads. If you wish to supply your own retrieves from the Bomb Outs this is O.K but it would be wise to note that from the SE Bombout there maybe some water crossings depending on the previous weather but they will be well graded, therefore a Four Wheel Drive vehicle could be of a benefit to the team’s retrievals.
Entries accepted based on requirements in the latest edition of HGFA Competitions Manual Edition 6.4. section 3.4 of the HGFA Competition Manual (V6.4) Only 90 positions available, with priority given to Australia pilots in order of National ladder ranking up to 50% of competition field, then priority two (2) to state nominated pilots from Australian states not entered into competition, Priority three to overseas pilots (in order of World Pilot Ranking) and the other priorities available on page 14 HGFA Competitions Manual Edition 6.4. (As above).

Entry fee is $200.00 inc GST (Australian Dollars) for entries received by the 1st of November 2006 and $230.00 inc GST (Australian Dollars) for entries after the 1/11/06 no exceptions. To pay for the comp please send International Bank Cheque or Direct Deposit to account Access Factor Pty Ltd BSB: 124-050 A/c: 20304105 or We have Pay Pal set up through the web site.
