Central Plateau Soaring Competition 2015

No flying for the past few days

We've had bad weather the past few days.

Tuesday wasn't good,

Wednesday was rained out.

Thursday was very strong SE winds which makes launching here a bit treacherous. The wind wraps around Tehara and ends up very turbulent over the airfield. Tasking would have been very difficult, so we played golf instead.

Today and tomorrow look very blue! So not sure how much fun it's gonig to be yet...

In other news, a FLARM ground reciever has been set up, so you can track gliders live at http://live.glidernet.org/. Launches between 12:30-1 usually.

You can see the range of the tracking system here: http://ognrange.onglide.com/#TaupoGC,max,all,-38.258476_176.098594,9,#00990000:#009900ff,circles;
At this stage it's only within visual range of the airfields.
