exhausting, all this flying! The flying here has been amazing, with absolutely

I was not here for the... mehr

I’m really sorry that I have to write about my accident at the
worlds on July 17th (Task 3).
On that day, I was lucky to get an early bird launch position. But the
place was in the third lane. It’s difficult to bring the glider and take off
for a woman. But it was ok, and I could take off as the last one, because I took... mehr

Along with the 0.1% error band around turnpoint (and start and goal) cylinders.
Don't make the same mistakes that Manfred just made. Make sure that you have the proper setting on your instrument. mehr

The task worth the world championship!
With comparison of yesterdays task, the previous ones looked like a demo
version! Pilots finally got what they came for. We used beautiful start Val Seca,
started 13:15 and pushed with maximum altitude under 10,000ft limit north to
Emberger Alm area.
The gaggle was tight, a... mehr
