Default Decent Flight

Hi Gary,

This may be a stupid question, but I thought the maximum difference between
the start and finish had to be 3281 feet (1000 m), but I see your tow was
quite high. Did you have to take a big distance penalty?


Looks like he towed to 5700' and landed at 3200', so he only lost 2500'.

Also looks like about 30% of the distance can be credited to the 15 knot
south wind. But even without that, it still was over a 500 km flight,
which is pretty impressive in that glider.



It is an amazing flight!

Fantastic flight! Would love to look at the log file! Is is available?
On OLC?


Hmmmm. Try this. I've never filed anything with OLC before so I hope
this works for you. Posting through my son's Google account, you can
reach me via e-mail at:
