Yo!

Ok, here's the correct info for the board - we cannot post
from here :( It's probably for base forum, edit and post it for us!
:)

Robert and I had some sweeet flights in the last 3 days. About
the same glide, Robert covers it a bit faster. We decided the time
is really meaningless by itself, but still a number is a number :)
Anyway, raw data:

3.2km flight from a new 1730m spot, time is presently unknown,
video loses it at 1:38 mark but may be visible on a big screen.
Average glide ratio is 2.1

Today, 4.3km flight from a known mushroom spot, 1950m altitude
gained (lots of room to work on :) exact time is presently unknown
but is about 2min. Video loses it early, will check a big screen
later. Average glide is 2.45

An important note from the last flight - my arm got so tired
holding a wingtip that i had a very weak pull. Something to watch
on those long flights! Robert says after a minute and half he
couldn't hold it at all. Let's get strong! :)

We will play a couple more days and then off to Norway! :)

bsbd!
