Was the measurement during the heat of the day (thermal expansion)?

Steve Riley is preparing pics and results. More to follow shortly.

We measured the site, and after correcting some of my initial miscalculations on fractions vs. feet/inches, we found that it is .1" under Cat III. It is also at 7000' of altitude, so there's that.

The floor layout feels like Johnson City. Wide open space - great for gliders (no scoreboard).

The air is similar to Belgrade. Lots of thermal activity during the day due to the translucent windows in the ceiling. A few years ago I would have called this "bad air". However, after getting schooled by Mr. Treger, I now see this as a new challenge to conquer. My F1D handled the thermals fairly nicely. The F1L I was proxy flying didn't.
