Organya accident

Hi, a friend of mine was in Organya last week and told me about a fatal accident (on Friday 23 I think). Does anybody have more info to share? It seems that the victim was a french pilot, of very good level (infinity), flying a thriller. I understood he couldn't control a massive collapse and fell into his wing. What happened exactly, I don't know. My friend told me the conditions in the air suddenly changed because of a big Congestus and went very very ugly.

free style glider for a little girl ptv 55kg, naked 42kg

Hello,

I need help and advices to continue my progression with a free-style glider.
I am 1.50 m and my weight is 42kg, I practise sat, wing-over, fullstall and I work for helico with a Hook2, 21m2.
I have tried FreeWay 19;5 but I find that it is a quite too big glider for me, anyway it is a very safe glider, I really hesitate because I had good sensation with it.

What about minus glider like Apus ou Susi or Awak for freestyle ?

What about Icaro Wildcat 18 ?

Organya CampSite

Hi
I'm heading to Organya tomorrow but I just want to check that the campsite is open? Their website has been down for weeks and I've been trying to call them for 2 days but nobody answers the phone? I'm worried that they might have closed down, is anybody staying there right now or does anybody know for sure that they're open?
Cheers,
Lee.

Folks, I was checking with Xandi on the possibility of attending a course early August but he is not doing any. Would any one know of others offering SIV/acro course at Gerlitzen (in English) ?
Cheers
