(I think that with the glider performances today 400 to 450 km
triangle will be done in a year).


This is the news from Wilcania in Australia from the French trip. The place
where internet did not arrive.


Finally we get 2 serious day with ceiling of 4200 meters and 4600 meters. I did
a new world record of out and Return of 341 km and the following day I did a
374km triangle or a 365 FAI triangle. The triangle was not official as I did not
do a pre-flight declaration.


On the triangle I took 7h28 to do it, but I flew 250km in 4hours 5 minutes at 61
km/hour average and 3.7m/s average lift. I took off late, 12h30, because at the
beginning it seemed too windy, and at 10h00 you have quite often only 800 meters
high.


I have never seen condition like this.
