Bit Of A Gap

Been up to Moirs a couple of times in February and March, but ended up either no wind or too much.

Finally got to launch today in what turned out to be increasing winds.

Swung Westerly and cranked up, blowing any thermals away and creating quite a bit of turbulance out front.

At one point had a 50% asymmetric, which was, let's say, "exciting".

After getting shoved around for 50 minutes landed out front.

Looks like that was the last flight of my season.

A New Year

Looks a possibility, maybe a little strong, but what the heck let's go have a look. Arriving at launch it is marginal, steady 22-25 km/hr min 15 max 30 ish. Sit and see if it changes. It does, strengthening slightly to 33 max, and swinging once again to the SE. Steve Dwyer and Les Graham turned up to show me how Hangies do it, and although Steve launched and soared for a while, Les didn't have a good day. The clouds finally gave up and so did I.

Inversion

Looked quite hazy with few clouds on the drive North, and sure enough these proved to be good tell-tales of an Inversion. At launch we appeared to be above the haze and the conditions were good for takeoff. Once in the air it proved difficult to get above 600m, and those that did found themselves back down with the rest after losing what they had. In the end I missed my opportunity to top land and ended my flight after an hour or so at the usual spot. First flight of the Season, forgot to set the GPS to log, and couldn't get Livetracking to work, a good shake-me-down flight.
