No more flying due to thunderstorms and terrential rain.

Task 3 - was set on a day that had a terrible forecast of thunderstorms and overdevelopement, but the sky looked great from the ground. There was very little lift upto the puffy cu's down at 44' MSL. Things were going quite well for me, with a good start time and being in the right place at the right time, but then like many I impatiently flew into cloud shadow and eventually went to the ground 60km out on a 100km task.

Gulgong 2008, task 3

Day Three:

The weather looks pretty dodgy for the rest of the comp. Hopefully we will get at least one more task in. Here are the results so far.
Here are the results from yesterday.

Today was not looking so good with a 10-15knnt east wind and a funky looking sky, we decide to hold off for a task. At 12pm we set a 100km task downwind to Wellington then goal at Yeoval. I went for a quick testfly on Blay's new glider before hoping in the line up and towing up.

Preparing to test fly..

So here we are in Gulgong. It's a pretty little town 3 hours drive NE from Sydney.
