Flight 083
There was minimal wind so I decided to launch higher up the ridge and run more which helped with the launch. Tried a few turns and kept on dropping out. Transitioning to upright before landing needs work as it is not smooth enough and the glider seem to change direction.

Had to pull in more on launch and ran hard. The lift was nice and I could park the glider while flying in a line behind Jacques. Went over to the western ridge once and back. Wind dropped a bit after a while. Wanted to fly out to see if there were any lift, however I just kept on falling out. Landing was a bit quicker than I expected, however no issues on landing.

Launch was easy. There was enough lift to fly away from the ridge two times and return. No issues on landing. Could work the western side of the ridge more and fly out more if the height is sufficient.

Launch was ok, however my start height was again a bit low and I had to work hard to get back to the ridge. There was not much lift and I worked the ridge, With my DBF I actually turned the glider completely downwind to loose some height. Landing was nice with no issues.

Launch was ok, however my starting height was low, so I had to work hard to get back to the ridge. There was not much lift so I had to work the whole time to stay up. Landing was fine with no issues

Launch was easy. Amazing wind with nice lift and not very gusty. Enjoyed my first flight in just over 5 months. It felt like I have flown a few days before. First landing approach was way too high as I kept on gaining height instead of shedding, so I made another loop back to the water tanks to shed some height. Took my time before I went upright. Wind was nice and strong on landing and I could...

2024/06/15, RondebossieBerg, 290m ASL, WillsWing UltraSport, RS, 20km/h, M, 0:27, 17:43, Ridge Soar, Launch was easy. There was just enough wind to scrape along the ridge. Roy and I had to share the ridge as the window of opportunity was small. The wind was smooth and constant and we could fly for almost half an hour before we had to go land. On my final when reaching out with my right hand to ...

Launch was easy. Wind was surprisingly boyant and I could gain nice height to almost 450m Glider handles nicely and I really enjoyed the flight. Came in a bit high for landing and on the final actually started to gain height again. Went into high drag and could land fairly smoothly.
