More practice for the Santa Cruz Flats Race. We have a large
showing of Class 2 gliders this year.

The conditions were excellent on Sunday. 

So I thought I might try a 100k triangle.

I didn't beat Robin's record but got close.

I am flying a self launching Swift. The ease of launching is great, but there is
a performance penalty to pay with the engine and non folding prop in the wind.
The engine was turned off at 1000ft and not started again until after landing to
taxi into the hangar. Fun day.
