Acro training at Gerlitzen

Hey everyone,

I have a hard time finding answers on how to arrange my trip to get the most out of it, train as much as I can with spending as little as possible and most importantly to avoid all the troubles connected to the license stuff and all other things.
Also I have tried to register for courses with Xandi, but everyone seems to be so unresponsive there and the overall information is definitely lacking a lot.

El Hierro

Hi there,

I am planning my first Trip to El Hierro this Year. I am not sure yet when to go, so i appreciate any useful Information about that Spot.
I have watched many videos now, including the XC Video from Ondrej Prochazka (thanks for the nice View and the Information).
I also checked out the Island via Google Earth for the T/O spots from the videos.

But i still have some Questions and would appreciate any Information:

Is there any Statistic about how many "flyable" Days are there per Month, or when is the best Season?

Martinique

Hey everyone,

has someone current information about flying in Martinique? Info about the possible
spots there would be nice as I don't have that much time when I'm one the island
(cause I have to work there ;- )) How about the acro spot, is it worth taking the acro
glider (and harness) or will I be better off taking some light equipment?

Any help really appreciated,
Cheers,
Gunnar

Winter Acro: Mürren or Brevent ?

Wanna continue training acro this winter while speedriding/skiing. Thinking Lauterbrunnen or Chamonix. I do believe that the Brevent cable car is faster & allows for way more training laps than Mürren cable car as they seem to drop the frequency of rotations aus soon as there are not enough customers waiting.

Anyone got any real figures (Training laps/day) of either Brevent or Mürren ?

Cheers!
