Sounds good. I will as well look up what kind of races are organized and when. Maybe we could join in as a team. I'll investigate about this a bit further.

I edited the video yesterday, but stupid Sony Studio crashes my computer every time I try to render it.

I have to say I'm impressed with the winds in Condor. The places where we had rising and sinking airmass made complete sense and were as we would expect in real life. Creeping along the ridge just above treetops with only minor rise made my day. Then the big sink on the northern side of the ridge and finally the relieve on the southward facing slope.

Approaching first turning point. Weather ahead looks nice.

Entering alpine area shortly after

Last leg took me out of the valleys

After reaching home without a single circle since Innsbruck. Average speed for the whole task around 95km/h :D
