[MT-ALES] Checking In...

Interesting discussion on that thread.  Thanks for posting!

Bob, Doug and I were out last Saturday pm.  Initially the lift was good and sun was out.  Bob got a 21 minute ride while I was setting up.  Then the sun went behind the clouds and the temperature dropped quickly, the wind came up.  I was able to catch two light thermals and work them out on my first flight.  Fun and good practice!  After that the wind started blowing about 12 - 15, with higher gusts.  I burned up the rest of my batteries doing 1 minute tasks to landing.  It was a lot of wind for the U2 STD without ballast, but I wanted to get the practice under these conditions.  Doug was able to get a couple flights on his 2M Art Hobbies ship, but the wind was problematic.  He reported that he has received his Vector (AT LAST!)  and has it on the building bench.  Great news Doug!

Anyone out Soaring?  😉  I’m sure not ready for winter.
 
Here are couple things I thought was interesting.
One is a nice setup of your glider tips from a gentleman downunder who shared it on RCGroups and then a video on Triangle Racing that was very well done.
