22:30
the day has ended. We finished 2 complete rounds and one duration flight. We were really lucky with the showers. The thunderstorms really developed just after passing us. We only had 2 or 3 small breaks with a little rain.
The temperatures also went down a bit with the rain, making it a bit easier. On the other hand we had a lot of line changing due to fluctuating wind speed and direction.
the first speed was quite standard. The second speed had low launch altitudes and in general much slower speeds.
the final duration was mostly possible, but never a safe thing. Low launch altitudes and very low thermal activity punished every single mistake immediately.
thats it for today. See you again tomorrow !
16:00
we first continued with duration. And two small rain showers later. We are now in speed.
wind is changing strength and direction frequently.
intermediate results in the gallery below.
12:55
we flew three groups duration and had lunch now. Awesome catering as always!
we will continue with speed in 5minutes due to the thunderstorms that are building up.
11:06
second round duration. Wind gets a little bit less, thermals get stronger.
we already have high temperatures and cloud free sky. Fortunately a bit of wind for a bit of refreshment.
10:10
we started with distance. Max legs around 20. Wind and thermals are there but difficult to find and rather weak.
