Welcome to Bruno's site about his experiences in his Phoebus and ASW20 sailplanes.
UpdateMay 28, 2009 - Flew a fun short 200km triangle task late in the afternoon. Click here to read about the flight. Check out my soaring logbook and experiences pages to read about my past soaring and powered flights.
A few years ago I drove to California and bought an ASW-20BL and took on a good friend as a partner in my Phoebus. I plan on flying my new glider most of the time but will enjoy the occasional flights in the Phoebus since she is so fun to fly. I plan on updating this site to reflect my soaring in more than one glider type.

Family Trip to Yellowstone Park - On June 30, 2007 I took the wife and our 3 kids in a Diamond Star DA40 on our first vacation using a small plane. Both the flights and the park were a fantastic experience for us all.
New project taking up a lot of my time: I am still trying to fly and glide quite a bit and often get up at least 3 times a month. I stay busy at work and with the family which takes away some of my gliding time available. I started another project that is also taking up a lot of my time. Taylor Made out of New York offered me an exclusive opportunity to market and sell their retractable awnings for outdoor decks and patios online. Awnings are often used to cover doors and windows but over the last 20 years it has become very popular to install a retractable awning over your back patio area to control the shade but still be able to see the stars at night. The big kid on the block of these kinds of awnings is a company called Sunsetter who you often see on late night tv commercials. Wish me luck...Oh yeah if you want to see the website just go to www.TaylorMadeAwning.com and please consider it the next time you are thinking about getting any kind of awning.
