Andy_B Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 (edited) so the que for a practice flight today was 4hrs ….!!!! tomorrows forcast isn’t great with very light and variable direction winds Edited October 4, 2024 by Andy_B 1
Andy_B Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 quite a technical day today as the slope was not maybe as easy to fly fast as would appear.the right line was important as was the turn style , the rewards were good for those that had the knack . the start of the afternoon saw 12-15m/s but this was down to probably 6-8m/s by 6pm . 2
Peter G Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 On Laurac today for day 1 of the Pyrenees Cup / pre comp. No wind at present and the forecast is for maybe 3ms at 1pm. We will see, just 70 pilots to get through! 3
oipigface Posted October 5, 2024 Posted October 5, 2024 Day I of the Pyrenees Cup has dawned with the forecast 3mph. It’s supposed to change during the day getting down to 1mph, then back up again to 3! There is a guy flying, but he’s got a motor. Team’s all raring to go. Here they are on the edge of the slope at Laurac-le-Grand, showing solidarity with the Australians. 3
