| Notes | Into rain of winch. Saw a pair of ASK-21s to my lift skimming the rain shower and joined them. Found 1,5m/s lift all along the upwind edge of the shower. Really flying close to the cloud, in and out of the rain. Eventually the rain shower moved too far from the field so I had to turn back. Another shower was still over the field so I was back into the rain on downwind. Flew a bit faster than normal (rain decreases performance ans increases stall speed) and landed in the rain. Nice flight! |
