I figured it was above your head, Eric. Its a small duck, Eric, and I
keep it inside of the instrument panel, that's why you need to put duck tape over the hole...I said, ""Helps to keep Quack's out of the cockpit. "" You again, Eric, have shown the world, once again, you can not read." Try readin page 13 of the CAI 303 manual again, D4 Cruise and climb performance. If your serious, and wish to improve your performance, which I assume you are by your posts, then tell us after you do your home work, how you determine when its time to leave the thermal, this is in a contest setting, where minutes saved are points earned. I will help your, Eric, here and tell you what I do, some of the time. When climbing, the upper left hand corner of the 303 has a display. When the read out on the 302 30 second averager drops below the figure on the upper left hand corner of the 303, I generally leave. By doing extra turns at the top, in weaker lift, does add minutes to your time, and if you look at the score sheets, only minutes per day keep most out of the top 10. The 302 does load with Turnpoint data, and landing data, which the 302 does not display. The 303 does display this information. If the Ipaq does stop working, then I have a backup, in the 303, for final glide, course, wind, and a bunch of other neat stuff. I, as others, have several systems. One is not better than the other system, its the user who uses the systems, to help him save minutes. A ASW 27b doesn't have a engine to motor home on, as you do, Eric. Maybe you should practice without taking so much gas on your ASH 26E, because it appears to many of us, you carry alot of gas. A past World Champion was talking with one of our finer young junior pilots, he asked this young pilot "How many points do you start a contest with?" The young pilot answered, and then the World Champ told him what he started with. So, Eric, show the world, and please do tell us how many points you start a contest with, say a 6 day regional, then I will tell the World the rest of the story. So, remember the questions.........!. How do you determine when its time to leave the thermal, and 2. How many contest points do you start a 6 day regional with. If you read carefully, I already gave the answers, Eric. Thermal tight, Soar high, fly Safe. # 711. |
