We did nearly 90 launches today! Sometime after 4pm the weather perked up. First I wanted to fly K13 with an instructor, which I did. There were showers when we got up, so landed. The wind speed was about 15-20 knots today. The wind sock was flying horizontally. I had 3 good launches and a very good feed back from the instructor with whom I had not flown before. Everything was good. It is good to fly with the instructor once in a while. Then I had a flight in a Astir. Unfortunately I pulled just bit too hard and broke a weak link. So it was a launch failure at 600ft. I lowered the nose and after getting the speed turned left, which I had decided when doing the eventualities. I had 60 knots speed when I went round and did a 360 and landed into the wind. I got a very good feed back for all the launch and dealing with the failure. Then I thought that I will wait a bit and have another Astir flight later on. But the Astir was rather popular and kept flying. People did not stay up for long, even that it looked good. In the end I didn´t fly second time. I had a good day, I stayed in a launch point until 6pm and drove back one of the club vehicles when we finished gliding. Now I am making a lamb stew, I had half of Spreckled Hen bitter and then just water. I will eat soon.
I will write bit more shortly.
