SIV No 3

Fri: great wx on Mte.Baldo for another (and last) day of SIV. Today Peter (Nitsche) has been my instructor. I made 2 flights: spirals, wing-overs, big collpses and 'held collapses' as a means for descending.

Spirals: 1st flight: peak at -17m/s; 2nd flight: peak at -14m/s :-))   (with left ear folded in)

Wingovers: nice and high

(held) collapses: no problem, but not really a effective means for descending...

Most of the pilots went for a 3rd flight, but yesterday's hike to Mte.Belpo had been a bit too much for my left foot which started to make walking a bit painful, so I had to decline. Andy and I headed back to our hotel in Rovereto and a nice gelato...

I didn't attempt any Full Stalls/ Fly-backs - maybe next time/ year..
