XC Course day 3

In the morning we go over yesterday’s flight and play the game: how many thermal indicators can you think of. Once you can’t come up with a new one, you’ve landed!

As it looks good at Monte Cucco South, we check out the landing possibilities and rigg. There are light winds and some local pilots launch after having waited for a good moment. And then the seabreeze comes in and we are $@&$#*@%!! It only get’s hotter and we even have to deal with an uninvited dustdevil (on film!) that makes everybody nervous.

So don't forget your groundhook on Monte Cucco! Dustdevils are rare, but you better be prepared.

Later in de afternoon we check out the north launch, but it doesn’t look very good so nobody get’s to fly.

So it’s swimmingpool time!



But if you want to see some (last week) flying in the area: this is what it looks like!
