Flight details:
Another day where I found it easy to keep up with the other guys in climbing and decision making but REALLY struggled in glide. There are 18 ATOS VR's, 1 ATOS VQ, 1 ATOS VRS, and my flight design Axxess (secretly they all wish it was theres...) The difference in performance is even more noticeable in the stronger wind we had today and I spent about 90% of the course on my own. I did make some good decidions and only got low once but eventually the sky spreadout and the ground went into shadow which shut the day down. Ive learnt tonnes so far and have flow for the last 8 days in a row averaging between 3-4 hours a day. Tomorrow looks like they big one with a 185km triangle being talked about...
