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.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

Metric units are used for all chart data, except for Height which is shown in feet.

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.

Red values indicate suspect data, because the tracklog contains invalid points.

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.

Looking at Rasp the evening before we had planned a Blorenge start for a Peny /Hay Bluff triangle but the morning update changed our minds to a Hay Bluff start to hopefully avoid the slow start and crowds at Blorenge with more cloud cover forecast there, in hindsight we probably should have avoided a turnpoint there completely as we wasted a lot of time mincing around waiting for the sun to break through and I only just managed a climb out of there after tagging the turnpoint where unfortunately I lost Howard who had been flying very well on his old Carrera.

From there it seemed quite a struggle to get to the Brecons where base rose and I could make faster progress with the day closing in, after tagging the Peny turnpoint and transitioning out of the mountains towards Llangorse I thought I'd be landing out with no obvious cumulus to connect me to the still working Black Mountains but luckily the demo Photon pulled me 90 degrees off course to a lazy climb that got me up and across, from there it was easy to join the dots and cruise back to the Bluff. Happy days!

A great demo of the Photon, it certainly goes well and didn't feel like I lost any performance over my OXA3.
