Had a good start, then a smooth fast run to the ridges running NE along the lake in the second half of the TP sector. Once on the ridges was doing a good 110-120kts and maintaining altitude. One of those flights you just feel like you're in the groove
Turned after 48mins and was just planning on doing the same all the way back, until 20nm from the finish......I didn't even break the aircraft, the belly snagged the ridge in a moment of inattention and I just came skidding to a halt. In RL this would have resulted in a fibreglass suppository
So today's lesson then is don't fly (especially competition) after 5 glasses of wine, and don't try and give "father in law" a racing strategy lesson when you're doing 120kt next to the ridge ....LOL
See you guys on Thursday!
