It varied a lot, but the daily pattern was maybe more regular and
predictable. In the morning, when the sunspots started heating the
floor, the turbulence close to the floor was quite severe, and soon
after that the drift was severe. Good enough to make your model drift
across the floor in 3 minutes, so at around 11am you had to be
constantly steering to keep the model off the downwind wall. But often
towards the end of the round the drift faded away. I guess it was no
accident that Lutz always flew at the last minutes of the round... The
evening round was better, possibly some drift to start with but towards
the end conditions usually were good, if not perfect.
