STUBAI – PARAGLIDING – TESTIVAL & STUBAI FUN CUP 2010

20.03. in 21.03.2010

Že 20 let ob začetku leta vabimo vse ljubitelje jadralnega padalstva na srečanje v Stubai-u.Leta 1988, je „Stubai Cup“ prvič organiziral nepozabni ustanovitelj Parafly šole Hans-Peter Eller skupaj s Turističnim društvom Fulpmes. V naslednjih 20-ih letih je Stubai Cup prerasel v enega največjih in najpopularnejših dogodkov v jadralno padalski srenji. Kljub včasih slabim vremenskim napovedim se je dolina Stubai vedno odlično izkazala s svojo ugodno mikroklimo. V dvajsetih letih prireditve ni bilo potrebno nikoli odpovedati ali prestaviti zaradi slabega vremena. Kljub nevihtam v Alpah se je pri nas na Elferju in Schlicku lahko letelo. Stubai so tudi zato mediji pogosto citirali kot "dnevna soba jadralnega padalstva “. Na premnogokrat izrečene želje pilotov, ohraniti priljubljeno prireditev , bomo letos dogodek nadgradili pod novim imenom , STUBAI – PARAGLIDING – TESTIVAL in sicer malo pozneje v marcu.

Eden najboljših in najbolj drznih B.A.S.E. padalcev na svetu, Avstrijec Felix Baumgartner je včeraj v New Yorku predstavil projekt Red Bull Stratos, v okviru katerega se bo lotil doslej še neraziskanega dela aeroastronavtike. S padalom namerava skočiti z roba stratosfere, ob prostem padu pa prebiti zvočni zid ter po približno petih minutah in pol odpreti padalo ter varno pristati na domačem planetu.

Would you be surprised if we told you that the most frequently asked question to the Naviter team in 2009 was: "Which PNA should I buy?" It was particularly frequently asked because there was no simple answer for it. There are numerous very nice devices out there but each one comes with a compromise somewhere. Since we take it as a mission to solve glider pilot's problems we started looking for the answer and now we are ready to share it.

We will call it "Oudie". It is a Personal Navigation Device which runs SeeYou Mobile natively. What makes it different than any other device on the market is the ability to perform all of the most important tasks for glider pilots right out of the box. It features:
. Large 5" screen (same brightness as all other PNA devices)
. Landscape and Portrait screen orientations
. Integrated GPS for stand-alone operation
. Serial communication cable (doubles up as charger)
. Bluetooth serial communication
. Preinstalled SeeYou Mobile
. Preinstalled worldwide Vector maps

When will it become available?
We are aiming for the end of the first quarter of 2010, the beginning of the gliding season in the northern hemisphere. But we wanted to let you know in advance so you can start planning your cockpit before the season starts.

Will it be possible to see it before it is officially released?
Yes! First time at the SSA Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas at the end of January! This is a list of events we will be visiting in the next months where we will also be happy to show you how it works:
. SSA Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, January 28-30
. OLC-Alps Symposium, Zell am See, Austria, February 6th
. BGA Conference, UK, March 20th
. Aero, Friedrichshafen, Germany, April 8-11

May I ask a few questions?
Yes, please. We are eager to hear your feedback through email and our forum. There is a dedicated thread in the Support forum for Oudie.

Nov rekord v Infinityju je sedaj 281. To je uspelo Haraciu Lorensu, št.1 na svetu v acrobatskem letenju, s padalom Sol Supersonic. Španec je iskočil iz helikopterja s pomočjo D-baga, z višine 5200m. Za ta dosežek si je ibral Nepal, verjetno zaradi lepega Himalajskega ozadja za film. Prejšnji rekord je popravil za kar 71 tumblov. Sicer si pa oglejte filemček.

Pa da se vam ob gledanju ne bo zrolal.

Vsem skupaj želim lep, srečen in vesel božič. Upam, da go boste preživeli v lepih trenutkih, skupaj z družino ali tistimi, ki vam veliko pomenijo.

Srečno !
