Acheron Scale Aerotow (Vic) - 1st & 2nd October 2011
With the weather improving in Melbourne and people getting itchy for some real scale soaring, we have quickly organised a two day event at Acheron.
Acheron is just 1 hr 40 min from Melbourne, so you can easily come for just one day, or even better, stay the night and join us in night flying practice on Saturday night.
Entry is $10 per pilot. Standard small gold coin donation to tug pilots.
With the big sky and space that Acheron provides, you will find there are few restrictions to your flying.

Stephen sent me a photo over the weekend of the thermal generator he installed especially for us. This is in the field north of the strip and should prove to be useful during the course of the weekend's activities.
Looking foreward to a good weekend coming up.Weather forecast has improved with Sunday looking like being a awsome day with light winds and sunshine.Love the thermal generator Steve has installed!
He expects that the weather will blow out some time Sat morning and start clearing for the arvo.
Worst case scenario will be a little flying sat arvo, BBQ/bonfire for the evening (and night flying), then proper flying for Sunday – at this stage it’s looking sunny and relatively calm.
NOTE - The strip drains really well, just we will need to park cars at the top end of the strip instead of the usual lower car park.
