First couple of days...

Benalla, Dec 28 & 29 2016.

Sergei & myself reached airport after 2 days of wondering around the world and Australia.
First leg was YYZ to Sydney thru Vancouver. 22h. Then we played backpackers all day in Sydney walking around and taking port seeing tour before boarding train to Melbourne where we have car waiting for us. Sergei was at the wheel, my task was to repeat "keep left, keep left, keep... ". Annoying part - he used wipers when turning.. guess why?!

2,5h drive and we reached airport. Jerzy joined us couple of hours later.

Day 2 started with moving gliders out of the container.

After few hours of careful unpacking, we rigged all gliders without any problems.
XG was the first one! 


 All machines were parked in designated spots. Nice touch - all rows are equipped with water valves.



Work in progress, Sergei is trying to unwrap hose. It may take a while - he's electrical engineer, not a plumber!


 If you're curious about how the sky looks like - yes, this is BENALLA! we have rain most of the day yesterday and some heavy downpour today! 20-40 mm rainfall was expected. Still better then snow:-)


Luke's pride is ready!
