At the Green Swamp Sport Klassic we had one goal with a nine
kilometer goal cylinder and another with a twelve kilometer goal cylinder. If
you are watching your Flytec 6030 or Brauniger Compeo+ as you fly toward goal it
becomes very obvious that the L/D required to get to goal is using the center of
the goal cylinder and not the edge of the... mehr

April 15-17Looks like the local pilots that headed to Wallaby for this weekend's Wills Wing
party aren't going to miss much flying at Crestline and Marshall. Wish we could
tell them of the 12K days they missed. Wink emoticonFriday: A low pressure system has passed us and moved to our east, and with the
counterclockwise flow around the low,... mehr

quite good around 11 AM.My plan was to go around the Green Swamp... mehr

It appears that we had the Green Swamp Sport Klassic one week too
early (and we'll remember that for next year). Unlike during the competition
