cambodia Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 In my limited experience,about 40+ hours if I see Hot Air Balloons its all systems go.These guys know more about the weather than I ever will. If its OK for them,nice and safe flying for me. I have just returned from ground handling.I had my Fusion on full reflex,nice and steady above my head but could not move forward.Then it started to rain so I packed away,the wing was blowing everywhere as I tried to fold it so I gave up and stuffed it loose in the back of my car. By now it was pretty horrible. Just as I was about to leave a Hot Air Balloon passed over! So much for the old adage about Balloons = nice flying conditions.

Sorry to hear that the weather was no good Cambodia. But even balloonists are known to get it wrong sometimes [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
