A tiny bit breezy for local soaring but certainly doable. The B/S ratio is 4-5 so it should be somewhat easy to stay up (theoretically). Good direction for going XC but the B/S ratio drops to 2-3 by 4PM. DR Jack says it's a solid 5 earlier and going to an 8. | ||

We have scheduled a SOGA club meeting for this coming Saturday July 26th at Steve and Cathy's home in Guelph. Start: 21:21
It looks like Sat is a write-off due to thunder-storms....check the forecast in the AM | ||

Now 40% POP, "Some" showers, high of 25, and windier... | ||

A great day to get your feet off the ground. Lift may be light but it should be workable. | ||

Start: 09:16
I must say, it's a perfect (looking) forecast for local soaring. Reasonable lift, light & variable winds...and the buoyancy/sheer (B/S) ratio confirms that with a perfect 10 for all of SWOnt. Even the 10AM b/s ratio is showing between 7 and 10...so it should be soarable then?! It's a little light wind for going big distance (which is what I have my eye on) so I think I'll stick local (O&R or Triangle). See you out there. Start: 13:20
End: 14:20
I'm just so impatient....everytime I fly before the magic 2PM I get bit. :) I was so itchin' to get some airtime and some XC that at 1:15 I couldn't resist anymore and took to the skies. I had two decent climbs and that was enough to sucker me into going on the course I chose - a 50KM triangle. I even set my flight computer for a 2PM start window (as if I was flying a comp) but I jumped the start anyways and headed North on course. | ||

The Provincials are a great opportunity for experienced contest pilots to be challenged and new cross-country pilots to get experience in a relaxed, fun environment. The contest will reunite the racing family and introduce fledgling race pilots and their crews into the fold. We plan to run two classes: 1) Club for those wishing to push their skills and gliders (handicapped); and 2) Novice, to introduce pilots to new competition flying or with classic performance gliders (also handicapped). | ||

Look for an update at 10:30am (here or at XC Skies), I am betting the forecast will improve (lift wise). A bit breezy but if the lift is better, it'll be easier to stay up. | ||
