My first flight in the wave with the new Swift 3:
- 2'25" engine time, 9Ah used, altitude gain 385m (1100m msl)
- then 13km ridge "soaring" to the NW in a very turbulent 50km/h NNW wind ending 1650m
- and climb in a 60 to 70km/h wind wave til 3800m FL120 where I had to stop climb due to a class D airspace above
The Swift 3 behaved as good or better than the Swiftlight in the heavy turbulences of the lower layer airmass
