Swiss Gliding Team

Tuesday is a no-fly day for us. Instead, it's a chance to get some administration out of the way:
- Registration and scrutineering updates (c'mon Remy, where is that Flarm file?)
- Comms update (our base station is too weak, so we need an upgrade)
- Finance (ouch! Security payments are expensive!)
No time to take photos really, so time for some reflection: there are now about 12 team flags at the front entrance - a big improvement over last week's solo efforts (and the grass is greener with all the rain!).

Still looking like a great day out there. Remy fine tunes the balance of his sailplane by dropping water from the wings, and topping up the tail from the portable bottle.

Briefing is getting more crowded, and more complicated. To make life easier, the competition organisers have decided to colour-code the task sheets. Let's hope no-one is colour-blind!!
