    Congratz, that looks awesome! Would be great to see some photos!

    Just one question, there is a huge sink in the middle of your flight, what happened there?

    Cheers

      BIG lift BIG sink. If you check the chart, I was getting 15m/s up (~3000ft/min) and -24m/s down! I just fell out of the bigness and had to circle back around and get back in.
