Hi All,
For a good video with good sound have a look at
http://www.rcuvideos.com/view_video.php?viewkey=fc182d371c3e9ed31609 the
sound made going back into the front side lift/wind is whip like sound you
hear. This guy only got to 177mph but they have got to 301 mph.
Regards,
Arie

The amount and size the rotor on the lee side depends on the shape of the
ridge and precise wind direction. I have sometimes noticed basically no
rotor on the lee side. At the DS site at withcott we land our gliders on
the lee side as it is the only possible place to land and the air is quite
smooth. If the ridge is steep on both sides and sharp at the top the totor
can be quite tame. In some cases the rotor will push the air back up the
ridge on the lee side. Basically, the air is going in opposite directions in
either side of the ridge but not as fast on the lee side. This type of
rotor can be used to extract even more energy at the bottom part of the
curcuit just you would from the top.
