Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The service organizes a flight around three stages: site selection, in-air instrumentation, and post-flight records. Forecasts compare wind and weather with each launch’s direction and color sites green, amber, or red for a selected day, while the offline phone mode records tracks, thermals, altitude gain, and IGC files. Airspace packs, GPX routes, and private live-tracking links extend the workflow beyond the cockpit.
