@cirrusflyboy One day I got 1950 feet!
-
Using the OS map and looking at both SW-NE and NW-SE runs, the runs are about 900m or 3000ft

There are two old supacats. Today (Unflyable) I chatted to the blokey from Supacat about the software in the automatic one. That one and the Manual are on sale to another club. The new one hasn't arrived yet.

We can get 1600ft on good headwind days. But it's more like 1400ft or only 900ft if you badger an instructor to let you fly with a 90° x-wind. That was fun.

How long are your winch runs?

Yeah 1600ft launch :D I've been gliding almost every weekend up until last weekend. The weather is not being very nice right now. Hopefully there /might/ be wave at NH tomorrow!

How high do you normally get off a winch launch at North Hill? Has the new Skylaunch winch arrived yet, and what is happening to your old Supacats? Weather has been a bit poor at weekends recently, but good midweek when I'm at work!
