Galgenen 29.5.2026

Launch: Galgenen Gschwend

Very nice flying: good thermals - mostly around 2m/s climbs. So far this year, this is my longest flight until now (more than 2 hours...) :-))

Travelling by car to Schiers, then by RhB (train) to Scuol (0900-1015).

On launch PeterNo waided for me (> see pix). Not very easy to launch, but once airborne (very) strong thermals in front of launch and almost immediately up to about 3250msl (for a moment almost 6m/s climbing). Today I didn't like very much the conditions (same said PeterNo later), so I landed just short of 40'. Landing has been tricky as well: first it looked like landing heading West, but when I got closer to the LZ (at 50m hight), the wind sock showed now wind direction East, so I had to change my landing...

Back to train to Schiers (1341-1459) and then home by car (1645).

Another nice (and warm) day. I had a good reverse launch ;-) For once I launched early, just after Andy. Waiting would have improved the conditions, but I'm happy enough with my flight...

Finally a nice (short) flight; thermal activity has been much less than predicted, but I had a nice launch and landing - which has been more important for me after 1.5 month without flying...
