How to spin out....

This from Phil Plane...
I've been fiddling in some idle moments while the weather hasn't been the greatest and have written a program to convert IGC files from loggers into Google Earth files to play back flights. http://slim.xinqu.net/kml/index.html accepts a IGC file upload and converts it to KML for display by Google Earth.

Have go...makes you dizzy after 10 minutes or so...however, if you pick a track log from a ridge day, you can illustrate the fun of 100knots, 100ft off the tops...

Might be soarable late today...winds going from NW round to S during the day.
RASP forecasting some thermals later to day.
But it will be short and sharp...probably not enough to encourage me to drag GNM out of the box.
However Tuesday and Wednesday are a whole different ballgame...
