Gromit Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 With the strong W forecast for Saturdays comp, I was wondering what the hill record is for the Mynd, when & by Who'm ? Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Lunt Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Well, I'm hoping for a bit more speed this w/e. Been fettling the Vampire since the tail fins were loose, not even mating up the incidence pins Then I found a nice big crack in the fus back of the wings where it had been "strengthened" So it's had some external carbon applied. Added weight should not be a problem this w/e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I don't think the extra weight will hinder you this weekend jerry ........bring a couple of house bricks aswell . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isoaritfirst Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Stu, No where near as fast as Whitesheet Pole Cot with a decent blow should see consistent sub 40 sec runs. add in a thermal or two and low 30s are very achievable. Not sure what the record would be at the moment, far too few comps run in decent conditions, I think it is around mid 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_B Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Current wind direction on the Mynd is WSW and has dropped slightly from this morning and average is about 25mph ...forcast is for similar or very slightly less tomorrowthose interested might take a peak at this myndcam.com click on individual sections and refesh for current readings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Lunt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 mmmmm Average wind speed for last 4 hours : ~41 knots - gusting to 57 which is a bit more n 25mph I tinks (41kn = 47.18196 mph actually) So, just for academic interest, what is the upper wind speed limit for F3F - if there is one?
