Bring it on, as long as they have Flarm so we can “avoid” them and
vice versa. Then we can see their climb rates and go anywhere, knowing that many thermals will be marked. Put them up observing vehicle thieves and rioters all over the country, and cross country gliding will be transformed. Chris N |

The model gliders were winch launched and flew up to a 75 mile course. The autopilot team would launch and retreive the model manually and once on course the autopilot did the rest. The autopilot followed the course straigt line and would only thermal to the right. Richard www.craggyaero.com www.craggyaero.com |
