This is the Soaring Spot Test Site. It behaves exactly the same as the live Soaring Spot except a) Uploads are ignored and b) it always returns the same flight for download.

New Zealand National Gliding Championships

Matamata Aerodrome, New Zealand,   February 4, 2008 – February 15, 2008

Day 4

Today started out with a few clouds but ended up blue, averages were around 4 knots but there were plenty around 8 knots. I ignored everything below 4 and thought it was great day even though I landed out (with plenty of company) at the most distant turnpoint. the tasks were set at 250km for the PWs and 302km for the Standard, 15m and above. Soaring Centre President Bill Mace declared the task for his Diamond goal and was successful. Big pat on the back for Bill, well done.

We tried out the landout procedures for about a third of the field and everything went like clockwork thanks to Pam Gore, Roy and all the helpers. Three motored back, one aerotowed back and about 12 came back in the trailer. Isn\'t this FUN!
