Sorry Wayne
I disagree. Last Saturday (whilst i was instructing mind you) we had an
awesome day, for want of a better word. 11-12knot climbs with a 600km
being done. The pilot who flew the 600 was not taking anything below
8knots and averaged 130kph around the task. He said it was an easy
1000
Just to add a another couple of logs to the fire.
I managed to thermal with a eagle in a blanik for about 45 mins from about 2000
to 6000 interesting flying until the bugger outclimbed me !, then proceeded to
deploy his u/c then tuck in a wing and had a go at me.
