Scheisshorn... Maestro

A (unfortunately) rather typical day here in Arosa on the Weisshorn with westerly wind.
It took more than 2 hours before launching became possible: first too much west wind with a possible rotor on launch, then for a while even SE-wind (= tail-wind).


if you're familiar with the area, then you know, that this is not the 'best' wind direction ;-)

Finally I could launch with almost zero tail-wind. The first launch in these conditions failed, but on the second one I got away without probems. Thanks to Marlies, Peter & Kiwi for their assitance!


Some light thermals above the Golf course allowed a climb of 350m and thus to extend the flight to almost 30 minutes.




BTW: my PHI Maestro 25 (LTF/ EN B) (105-130kg) is now up for sale: 10 flights, about 8 hours; bought Dec'19; price negotiable.
