First practic day results are on the web Jon I don't trust them could be over watered or dry just to confuse . They are weighed at scrutineering (with pilot and chute) to ensure they are under max gross, then again hooked up to the tow vehicle (less pilot) for a reference weight; then weighed daily on the way to the grid and compared to the reference. If they relight and re-water, they're weighed again on the way to the launch point. On practice days, same as when it counts. They could be underweight, but not over. This is standard at IGC Level 1 events (e.g., also done at 1st PAGC in Chilhowee/McMinn (and at WGC Uvalde)). |
