Sun 7:30

we finished with duration yesterday. Roughly every second group had astronomical flight altitudes. The groups in between struggled to reach 7min flight time.

Today we have very low clouds and will have to delay the start of the competition.

16:40

second speed with much more wind is completed. Heavy aircraft and thick lines that still break occasionally.

unfortunately some damaged aircraft in the Gusty ground level.

duration afterwards with similar conditions. It is difficult to decide if you want to fly far away or directly overhead. Since only one side (lee) is allowed to fly, the timing gets even much more important than the side or distance. From the base.

12:20

we started with duration. Very calm weather, so basically just gliding at reduced sink.

Distance had changing conditions. Even within the working time!

now speed. Also thermals coming through every 4-5 minutes making the ballast decision tricky

sun10:20

we had amazing speeds yesterday! Andreas Böhlen killed it with a 12.0x s time.

today we started with a lot of wind again and nice launch altitudes. speeds were not as low fue zo the more straight west wind direction and more turbulence.

now distance started, but unfortunately we have a break due to rain.

sat 15:46

speed round 2 went really well. wind increased alot and the altutudes were great.

a lot of low 13s and 14s.

but also a lot of missed turns. the b base is hard in lünen.

now fistance tound 2.

sat 12:30

now speed. wind turned a bit more to west again, against launch direction. nice!

altitudes are better and speeds quite fast. but the famous hardest B-Base of F3B is in effect and there are some missed turns.

sat 11:15

duration was the first task. conditions were difficult but doable. someone alsways made the full time. but if you went to sinking air a bit too long, you had a problem. we have south wind, and the wind shadow from the trees is naking the starts tricky. no force until 40-50m and then you get sudden force and have to be careful about line breaks.

currently we are glying duration. the sun is shining strong, temperature tose quickly and we are getting a bit more thermals.

sat 6:50

good morning from Lünen. the airfield awakens…
