Technical check

Passed technical check ok, despite my wings span being 0.001 cm over 15 meters...otherwise all ok, weight is not above the max so can afford big breakfast tomorrow.

In the technical checks the gliders get checked to ensure they comply with the rules for their class, in particular in terms of weight and wing span which are major factors in performance. Generally speaking if the conditions are good you want to be as heavy as possible, this is because heavy glider will fly faster for the same height loss compare to a light glider. Some competitors will go to great effort to add weight to their gliders. The gliders get weighed every day during the comp.
