Anxious to know how your buddies have flewn, curious about your lovers' day out ? Well I can tell you it was a brilliant day. Thermals up to 6 m/s, and it is november.
There was the BBBB task again, B bridge, B bar, B bowl, B back. A bottle of doyouwanna wine was the price for the first one who succeeded. Volker (other league ....) had to do the task twice. Guess who won ? Of course you know, otherwise I wouldn't have asked this question. Bloody Volker did.
All others were looking up, glider still in their hands, wandering what went wrong.
It is the first B that does it, the bridge. You have to get there with lots of height, come back half speedbar and use every lift you encounter. Also it is flying downwind, from bridge to take off again, so don't wait untill you have passed the lift. Downwind you have to turn immediately in the lift, different when flying upwind, then you count for instance, measuring lift. Anyway, come down and try it yourself. It's all about giving your flights a value. Nothing else, every flight should have a value. Boaring is soaring ? Do wing-overs, topland. Only top to bottom, but a beercan at landing and try to kick it. Anything. It is fun, it gives a value to your flight, and you always learn something from it.
Foto is pretty special, after all those years, after all those visits, I finally got a foto of Volker down at landing field, while others were still flying. Volker you are a star, oh god, I wished I hadn't said that. Ah, what the heck.
