Notes

Climb and Speed averaged over 4 second intervals.

These values may be lower than those shown by a flight instrument, which has access to continuous raw data.

Average Speed around course is measured from Start to Finish points.

Track Length is the cumulative distance between track points from Takeoff to Landing.

You can change the default units displayed - see the Options page.

The forecast was for it to be sunny, but windy. Diary was clear so thought it worth a punt to see how things were on Selsley.

Started the day with 8 or 9 other hopefuls on take off, some with XC dreams and others just looking to leave the ground. The first flight had a few bumps and turns, but for the most part was gale dangling - not really my cup of tea. Mike H lasted longest and actually seemed to enjoy it!

Following a hairy top to bottom (wind now off to the west) the die-hards set off for Frocester.

Peggy and others were first off and enjoyed much better flying conditions, climbing out almost immediately. Once in the air it was clear conditions were a tad calmer wind wise, and there was plenty of lift to play with.

I punched forward under a line of lifty cloud, back to take off, then packed up and back in time to pick up the little one from after school club. Brilliant: -)
