RASP Queensland style
http://xcsoar.dd.com.au/rasp/Queensland/standardindex.html
I wrote earlier how it would be great if we had an additional RASP for the Mt. Beauty area, and not just for a big chunk of Victoria and NSW. Of course, we love the fact that we have any RASP at all and very much appreciate the sailplane pilots who provide this service.
That said it would also be great to have a smaller scale RASP just for the area around Beechmont and Mt. Tamborine and then we could combine it with the big picture for Queensland for those big flights to the west. Perhaps some local enterprising hang glider or paraglider pilots with a fast internet connection and a computer with Linux on it could set up a local RASP.
The problem is that it is hard to see what the forecasts are for lift and wind and cloud base in the area around here on a graphic that is a bit too small and in an area that is a very small portion of the small graphic. RASP is the coolest lift forecasting tool available (along with winds and cloud base). So I'd love to see it implemented every where I fly.
