Vandaag is het de jonge zweefvlieger Matthew Scutter (AU) gelukt om 1000 OLC km 's met een LS4 te vliegen.

OLC vlucht: http://www.online...d=83457732

Zijn vluchtverslag:

Declared a 750k, abandoned an hour later after jumping across the hills to find the air dead, dumped my water and eventually scraping away from circuit height. Tried to make the most of the day after that, explored the trough line and the seabreeze? convergence. At one stage I was doing 130kts through the rain at 11,000ft trying not to get sucked into the cloud.

Not sure why everyone went home at 5pm, the day was still thumping and the thermals continued to last light.

Gawler is an underrated XC site - not bad for a dry LS4, someone want to lend me a ballasted EB29?
