I forgot to say that todays flight included flying with more than 10m/s
wind.
That is about 5 to 6 Beauforts (36km/h up to 43km/h)
The circling of course was a bit distorted, well actually an oval course
but the plane managed to fly well
and follow it's flight plan consisting of following 3 waypoints in a line.
At end of the flight a parachute was used for recovery and you can
imagine me searching for the plane in a field as the wind carried the
plane 200m away from the runway.
I am writing a function that estimates the parachute release point and
although the function was telling me that the parachute should be
deployed 200m away, i didn't believed it and decided to go for a manual
deployment.
It was a big mistake :-)
