Task two is centered at Quest Air with light winds.
The first leg was to highway 474, 17 km to the south, then north to Center
Hill, then to the Florida Turnpike 5 km south of the airfield at Baron, then
back to Quest Air.
David Guidicci was first into goal again today, and he had never flown a
Wills Wing glider until this week when he started flying with my glider. He
says that he likes it.
Four pilots were just behind him, then a few minutes later more started
coming in. David and the pilots just behind all started with the first start
clock.
I took off early in the Wills Wing Falcon 3 170 and left the start cylinder
on my own hoping to get out in front and let the faster glider catch me
later.
Things were going well, until ten kilometers out I spent ten minutes
averaging 18 fpm. I should have stayed in that area because as soon as I
left it it was 500 fpm to the ground.
