Not enough good flight reports

So momma yelled at me for not staying up on my flight reports.  I don’t have time right now (internet café) to get into the nuts and bolts for pilot who find so much joy in learning from my mistakes!  Instead I will just fill my blog with images.

 

I moved into the lead at the Emberger Alm but then blew it trying to fly conservative the last day.  I dropped 2 places to finish 3rd.   The weather was good and the last day was windy and a bit turbulent.  I got some amazing pictures and videos but haven’t figured out how to share anything but pics.  The last day it was easy to climb above the clouds in the start circle and I got some good videos of that. 

 

The Pre Europeans here in Croatia have had the first 2 days cancelled do to strong north winds.  Landings here are a little bit tricker then other places.  Mostly I think the problem is visual.  The landscape is 99% trees.  The only place I have ever been to compare it to would be Newfoundland.  Lots and Lots of trees.  I have been practicing with the drogue and also slow tight approaches so hopefully I am ready.  Almost 130 pilots are signed up so it should be a great opportunity for me to fly with the best.

Hey Kev, which Euro comps are you doing?

Bigger landings there!

I want to fly more Euro meets like the ones in Spain but I also want to go fly Texas. Texas prevails on the schedule tug of war.
