Next Meeting

We still haven't really got any activities planned as quite a few of our members have been spread over the State so we are still trying to work out how to organise the times we get together.

Here is some pics/info from past events.

Pictures of our Australia Day (26th Jan 99) ride from Sth Riana.

Other HPV Related Activities in Tasmania

Sky Cycle pedal powered aircraft & Human Powered Boat at the Burnie TAFE.

The Sky Cycle project is underway again. The distance record so far is about 800m using females. It's flown with electronic control gear, has a variable pitch prop, carbon fibre boom and the wings are foam core. It is still in development, maybe HPA's always are, the last being an increase in wingspan.
