Day 2 launch

The south-west weather type is slowly moving in - we are going to Kovk again today. Finnaly we have some good visibility, yesterdays haze is gone.

Results of day 1 - Oleg wins the day!

So we have the results of the day 1 of Aeros Winter Race 2014. You can find them HERE. Congratulations to Oleg, the daily winner!

Nice weather - if you look at it...

Today, when we were setting the task, we could see some nice small cu clouds forming overhead... it looked really nice, so we set the 83 km long task. But, the weather proofed to be very difficult, we can even say shity. It seems that nobody flew over 30 km, most of the field landed somewhere between minimum distance and 20 km. Looking forward for better weather tomorrow.

So, KOVK it is!

According to the weather/wind development we decided to go to the Kovk take off today. There is already south-west wind on the top!
