Kiwi F1E Flash
The Kiwi F1E was held on Holloway Hill today in too perfect conditions. Very light wind and sluggish air. The site is over a disused gypsum quarry pit . Gypsum does not absorb water and while the rest of the Lost Hills site has dried out and there is normal thermal activity to create some active air. Some parts near the entrance and over the pit are still a bit cool and damp perhaps combined with the very light wind from a ‘different’ direction made long flight tough, hence the low target times. Evgeny’s large airplane seemed to handle the conditions best. (opinion of Non-F1E dude.)
