Want to win a neat little RC Chopper courtesy of thebombout.com??? Read on…

It seems the Google Australia crew have gone pretty nuts with their Google car.

A huge chunk of Australia’s roads have now been photographed and incorporated into the street view database. This coverage not only includes most urban areas but also significant coverage of rural and in some cases downright obscure isolated places – perfect as that’s exactly where we like to set goals during comps and free flying. No more surprise power lines on final glide now.

So how I win the chopper?

Here’s the challenge:-

Your task is to have a bit of a look around and see how many hang gliders you are able to find photographed in Australia in street view. Gliders can be flying, setup or still in the bag though it is my final decision as to whether it’s a glider you’ve found or something else - canoes and carpet salesmen don’t count.

The person who is able to identify the most hang gliders by the 30th of September 2008 will get the chopper.

Send your entries, including locations, through to huntingforhanggliders@thebombout.com before the end of September.

Good luck!

TIP: You’ve all seen the little green twitter box on the left hand side of the page. Keep an eye on it for clues as to where some of the gliders are located.
