The wind was around 25-30 km/h fast but I had moments of complete calm conditions for couple of minutes at a time. When I hiked on top of the mountain the wind was at least 30 km/h strong and it kept its strenght pretty much all the time. After managing a sketchy launch, I flew straight over the landing site and I executed the deepest and best spiral. It was like the cherry on top of the cake. Enjoy watching the video!
