[MT-ALES] GPS Triangle Racing

[CURTIS SUTER]

I am very interested in the GPS Triangle racing - Light Class
I've been watching all the videos from Andrej at RC Electronics and learning as much as I can before the electronics arrive.
Andrej is from Slovenia and makes some great products!

In this video there is a wonderful question and reply.... I transcribed the reply as best I can if you choose not to view the video.

Q:  What do you think Andrej of flying GPS in general, in terms of tactics and so on, you're improving as a pilot incredibly....right, so what do you think from your perspective?
A:  I am a full size pilot around 600 hours, let's hope for more...
Then I was flying F3K competitions, five years, then F5J for three years but at the end, I just didn't' find motivation anymore, it was just.... you caught a thermal or you didn't, that was basically it for this competition.
Then when I first start flying GPS....yea, you know, you see how much more you can improve.  That once you know how to fly GPS, everything else is piece of cake, in my opinion.  Sorry.... reading the weather, deciding, calculating the tactics, that really makes you.... like five steps higher pilot quickly, because you're forced to really judge the weather, decide quickly and every meter counts.

This sold me for sure!  His comments really shocked/surprised me
Something I can fly by myself and learn more of this wonderful soaring hobby.
