      windguru says no wind..

      wind guru predicts that the wind is still westerly for the next week or so...
      sigh....

        I'm only interested in Windguru's prediction over the next 2 days or so. The predictions for later dates are not so accurate.

            Yes, if you go to the website frequently, you will notice that the prediction changes from time to time.

                Yep, I had quite a blast today on the slope. There are some other folks who enjoyed the good slope soaring day as well. Who needs a motor anyway?

                    Today is fantastic...everything with wings would fly. Hope the weather stays this way. Anybody took pictures?

                    Motors are for tractors and propellers are for boats!

                        To the lucky folks that can slope at this time (almost 5pm),

                        Paya lebar wind is 360/12
                        Changi wind is 020/09

                        Fair weather.

                              Don't trust the reports too much. The wind direction fluctuates from time to time. As long as it is between 360 to 60, chances are you'll get to do some flying. The reports are taken in the instant at every hour and does not represents the wind directions throughout the entire hour. If unlucky enough that the readings are taken at that particular minute when the wind direction is less than desireable, you may miss a lot of good flying. Sometime, you have to gamble a little from time to time.

                              The winds today is not the best, but we do get a lot of very good flying with the right planes.
