Sportavia

The last 3 days in a row here have unfortunately been cancelled due to high winds.  Equipment problems kept me from flying the task the first day.  Today I opted to free fly even though the task was cancelled so I could test some equipment out.  That was not such a good idea because the winds had increased during a break in the towing and were quite strong during the short time I flew.  I measured between 20 and 48 kph.  That was just on the quick glances over at the instrument and doesn’t fully represent the range of it.  It was a handful and most of the pilots who flew seemed to agree that it was too strong for a task.

 

Until today the temperatures were an absolute scorcher.  Over 40 Celsius.  Mel and I have retreated to air conditioning.
