In the morning there was strong wind blowing paralel to the take off. It was considered to go to an other flying side. Finely wind came from front and we went up to the take off. Window was open but in my opinion wind was still too strong to fly for hole pilots. After some wail it drop down and I took off. In the air there wherent much thermals and that I found where difikult to thermal. Finely I did landed on 10 km of the flight. Not much for today. Due to too strong wind task was stoped around 16. We will see if it will count for the comp: 10% of competitors have to fly more than 30 km.

Here you have some photos from today

After hole day we spend on the take off we didn’t managed to fly. Wind from south-east was too strong and it wasn’t posible to take off. The day was canseled.

Cały dzień spędziliśmy na startowisku i nie udalo nam sie polecieć. Południowo-wschodni wiatr był zbyt mocny. Konkurencja została anulowania.

It was great day to fly. Cloud base reach up to 3700m. Climbs where wide and strong. Fun killer where altitude limitation up to 3000 m. It was so pity we couldent go any higher. Without it it was easy to do more than 200 km flight. When I sow jets flying under cloud base I was happy to follow the lore and not going too high.
On the beginning of the flight it was hard to get above the take off. Generally first 20 km was hard. But after it thermals got stronger and bather and we started to fly faster. I managed to overtake some pilots and got in front of them. In one moment Chrigel came to me and we had flown some wail together. But it’s easy to imagine that it didn’t took long and I didn’t sow hem any more cause he was so furth in front of me. On the way I got a crises and went low down. I already thought I will land on small airfield in the middle of nowhere. Lucky I managed to found a weak lift and slowly started to go up. In some minutes it got stronger I I was back in game. In between some pilots came to me and we had flown together further till end of flight time. Six of us landed around 160 km away from the take off. We met after in the bar in town called Vallafranca. Between this 6 guys where 3 Polish.

After long period of waiting for the scoring, why needed to check each single flight because of airspace limitation, I’m 9 for the task. I don’t know about the overall yet.
