Default 13.5 Meter World Championships

Going good Lane! I flew yesterday, a short local soaring flight. Took a tow behind a Wilga (They have a bunch of them here), and used FES a couple times to find lift under solid overcast.

Gliders here so far are a handful of Silent Electro, a Silent Targa, Sparrowhawk R, the Mini LAK (built across the street from Pociunai), a sawed down Diana 2, and the Russia AC-4D.

We've been posting as much as we can on our blog including a bunch of pictures from yesterday. Today and Tomorrow are the final practice days. I flew with my IGCDroid program runnig yesterday and my flight showed up well on Glideport.aero!

IGC has enough trackers here that the entire field should be carrying trackers each day. I assume the contest tracking page should be available through the contest website...www.wgc2015.lt

We all hope the GP14 can get here for some or all of the contest. We want to see how it shapes up against the other gliders in the class, and they have put SO much work into trying to have it ready it would be a shame if it couldn't fly here.
