Day 2

We were full of hope this morning... We went to launch place and set the task - it was short, 46 km only, but we felt that is fair one. We still had strong NE wind at higher altitudes and it showed it's teeth. After half of pilots took off safety commite reported heavy turbulance just few km towards first turnpoint. We canceled the day for safety reasons... We hope for better weather tomorow...

Day 1

The forecast for today looked realy bad this morning - and even forse - it come true. NE winds sets in with more than 10 m/s and we canceled the day after little postponding the morning briefing. We went to the launch place later just to check our decision - we found that we did the right thing. We hope for better condidtion tomorow and in next days.

Regsitration day

Today we had the registration day, winds were howling again outside - only 100km/h at 8pm this year (last year it was close to 200). However almost all pilots flew on the western launch today - in the lift somwere around 1,5 m/s and some wind traps around the flyable area. We hope that wind will die down in next few days...

Gliders waitng on launch - with all new pitch or tail settings (how strong the wind was???)


They are all trimming their tails... hhhh


Hah, I'm sleepy ... I know who the winner is ...
