How Much For A Refrigerator Thermostat



Peñon

Mandatory prevailed once again a beautiful day. This time a little more wind was predicted, we also fly the vorfanden. This time was, in contrast to the previous task, the starting radius in the lowlands. I found myself within the 6 km radius had but very low altitude. Unfortunately, I had therefore already at the first buoy my problems. It took me by to make tedious unscrewing about 45 minutes around the first buoy, but could still turn up to 3200 meters. With this height, I scanned the street towards the clouds plateau west of Pe. There I was again not high and I lost again my full height. 1800 m I wanted to end up as I go again thermals and found myself again with difficulty bootstrapping to 3100 meters. With far too much residue, I flew the rest alone. Although I managed the next buoy without problems, but I flew out of time (until 17:30 we had to be landed). I decided therefore to riskier direct line to the next inflection points behind Valle de Bravo. This line was not bad, but my height was too low and I landed just ahead of the buoy for a 64 km of 106 km flight. Since I was a bit isolated but I had to wait about an hour on the back of Hohler and only came on at sunset at Valle. Today, unfortunately, only Alex and Heli reached the goal. Tom and Armin were close to the target.
