All gliders are in the air now. There are only a few CU clouds, but we can see most of the gliders at a comfortable altitude.

Launching was planned for 12:00, then delayed once before the start procedure began at 12:30. Tows went toward Zobor hill to connect pilots with the northwest ridge, and by late afternoon all gliders were safely back on the ground.

Club Class flew a 2 hour 30 minute Assigned Area Task over the same 137-396 km setup as 15m.
