Red Bull Weekly Challenge
(Feb. 20th, 2019 - March 20th, 2019)
Put on your G suit and tighten your straps; this is condor, but not like you have experienced before. Red Bull Weekly Challenge offers one, short, exciting pylon race/acro task per week. Fly them offline or online (BF5 server), try them as often as you like. Submit your best results.
Swift S1 is not necessary and probably not even a good choice.
Inspired by the FAI World Air Games in Dubai, but taken up a notch. Or two. Or three :)
Some tasks may be as short as 5 minutes and can be flown at VNE. Others can be a bit longer (15-20 min max) and be a blend of more traditional ridge soaring with very tricky waypoints, requiring you to fly accurately and minimize your energy losses in extreme G manoeuvres.
I will try to provide youtube clips of each task to help you understand how the task is supposed to be flown, since its almost impossible to see on your PDA, or the flight planner or the TP windows themselves in which direction you should take each gate. Some examples can be seen on the youtube playlist linked as web site address below.
This is an experiment, dont take it too seriously as a competition and unless your name is Kawa, dont ever try any of this IRL!
