1,500m, 1-3 ms

Woodrat – Task 2
Rabies, Woodrat, Rabies, Burnt, FlyAir, Squires, Purcell

Comments
Good start with a low top of climb, 1500m
Dense, tight cores in small thermals required tight turns soon into the surge
Lead gaggle formed from TP1 and then ran the TP’s until FlyAir.
On the return from FlyAir the lead split between direct to Squires and Squires via Rabies then Woodrat.
Direct Squires route worked better

Lessons
With tight cores swing into the initial turn and centre the core on the turn
Requires a compelling reason not to fly straight line to a TP over a trigger
