Adam Woolley's Gliding Adventures. Sunday, August 12, 2007. Flight: http:/ www3.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html? Stats: 101FAI Triangle, 71.56km/hr; 2.2kt avg climb (39% Climbing); 32.3:1 L/D for 8.1km glides = not very impressive. However, had a nice day out.

It was from that point on that I lost out o...

Adam Woolley's Gliding Adventures. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. First XC in W3. Website: www.joeyglide.com.au. Facebook: Adam Woolley's Gliding Adventures. Flight: http:/ www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/flightinfo.html? Stats: Planned 400km flight. Outlanded @ 267km. 78.9kph; 3.4kt average climbs (40% thermalling); 30:1 for 9.3km glides at an average of 68kts. After analysing the flight further, I recalled the last climb at 2.4kts. There was actually nothing wrong with the climb, just lacked feel.

After seeing my syndicate partner taking WR for a run on Saturday, we de-rigged the glider and moved it north to the Darling Downs Soaring Club ( http:/ www.ddsc.org.au/. Allan owns a LS1-f also, so should provide some excellent practice for our future in team flying. Was a nice day, cu's to 3500agl, 12kts of E...
