Way to go John !

Great flight and a nice blog to read. Dave any idea how they deal with
ENL recording with the Antares or are they aerotowing with a sealed
engine?

Darryl


No idea, nor any idea why there's been a fuss about this.
Any engine operation is easily visible on the noise recording
in mine, either in the Volksloger or FLARM IGC files.
Its not "you must wear hearing protection or you will damage
your hearing" like other motor-gliders, but it is noisy enough...

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

PS: You can see this in any of my flights:
