The Boxer's getting thirsty when it has to work hard, and I went through 700 ml (23 oz) of fuel...

Just checked my logfiles, It seems I did 21 pulls, highest release altitude 277 metres (in approx 65 secs), highest CHT over the day was 125 deg C, but that was at a slightly lower altitude, probably with a larger and heavier tow...
