My club just started flying again but the weather has been unseasonable cold and wet on the West Coast of Canada. I am planning to fly this Monday but I very much doubt I will see conditions like Cat's Five.
We don't see conditions like those every day by any means!
I've no idea what the best up was, but I did see the needle on the stop a couple of times. Hopefully I'll extract the trace from the FLARM tomorrow. I did use the sink of the next wave bar upwind to help get down.
