Sunday afternoon I was at the construction peak in the Eifel. Right from the landing area off offered an interesting sight: a blue screen across a tree directly behind the start. Geez, I thought, the building once again shown its gusty mountain Goats. And that was: a pilot trial was at the start of a recorded gust pushed up and back was, until the tree began gently in its branches. The positive side to the story: The pilot was uninjured, and even its screen could be recovered without damage thanks to the help of the voluntary fire brigade. However, the oak struggled so much to let go of the bright lines that they themselves had to leave a few branches.
A little analysis will still are be. Because the pilot was still sunny and in the construction of mountain and winter thermals started so promising conditions, the wind had a significant impact in SW. In this combination, the hill is quite toxic. Even if the vane rotor is needed because of neat to south, you will soon buffeted by crosswinds, if one rises from the launch lane. Flyingwise you have to tinker with Mountain West wrap eh rare happiness. The slope does not contribute then. Who from the start just a little fly to the East, have problems come quickly to ever go back (barrier effect), and the western flank is just too flat. So: It is advisable to fly on the mountain building actually only south wind or SSO.
had After all the salvage operation of the wind the way, halfway turned to south, however, was so weak that for 3 drivers only from slipping was in it.
On Finkenberg (in Wiedtal) was flown on the same day at noon quite good, although the landings on the flood moistened landing field was not a pilot dream home.
