Reference the above flight from this last weekend. In late fall no less. We had 7 private owner ships flying, but only 3 of us were recording that day. There were some really fun flights by everyone. Now back to the topic... I submitted my flight but disagree with the optimization for the flight. It appears that my start point is not the off tow release at 21:51:38 but rather some 10 plus minutes at 21:02:38. The distance from my trace is approx 4.6 miles or 7.40 km. Now if I were to use this as my start leg, and subtract off the last "optimized" leg of 3.74 miles, I'd have more distance points = 114.75, but less average speed. I've tried adjusting the times on the OLC submittal page, but can't get it to change. Since you don't get credit for your average speed, wouldn't it be better to optimize for distance? Anybody know how to get it to change? Or am I missing something? And on a second note, is there some explanation for how to interpret the statistics table. What do each of the columns mean? Some of them are self explanatory, but I don't understand %Kurbel, Naufwinde, and E? Does anyone know the equations behind the data? I'm guessing they are related to thermalling, but I just can't figure them out. Thanks! -Kevin Finke ASW 24 Prototype - N28KS |
