First launch today went to one of the tents!!!
A good stiff easterly is blowing over the field.
Gliders are gridded on runway 22 while we wait for the wind to come around more to the south as forecast.
Tasks are AATs to the east South East with 20km circles around Kawerau and Waipunga Falls with a control point Tiverton Downs and home.
Task time is 2.5 Hours so our latest launch time will be around 2:45pm.
If we have to change ends for the launch(currently a tailwind component) then task decision will be made by around 1:15pm at which time we have to be comfortable that the task is still "GO".
At least with this wind 10-20knts. WOuld expect too much activity from Paraponters training for their nationals which start on the weekend and are based at the Paeroa Range South of Rotorua.
Keep it up
Roy
