SUMAVA GLIDE 2016

Frymburk UL, Czech Republic,   12 August 2016 – 20 August 2016

EN- News from 13/8/

The weather in the morning improved a lot compared to yesterday. The rain ceased and the temperature raised to 15°. 

Eventhough everybody can't wait to start competing on the highest airfield in the Czech Republic for the first time we had a preparation day today. Not only because of the weather, but also because the tow plane wasn't yet available. 

In the morning we rigged the gliders which caused yet unseen trafic at the Frymburk aifield as many pilots both intentionaly and unitentionaly came to see what's happening. 

In the afternoon the weather improved, the sun started to shine and first cumulus clouds appeared. We were able to stay in the air with the Arcus for over an hour. Clouds were up to 750 meters AGL and climb rate under the clouds was up to 1 m/s. 

In the evening all the gliders were lined up along the runway. 

You can find photos from the drone and the glider in the gallery.
