Flying Again, Day 9
The WX had improved and a task set. Not great, but infinitely better then the previous few days when tasks were not possible (we are in Europe!!!). The task was an inverse quadrilateral of 243 Km point to point, 162 / 329km. It was not an easy day, and unfortunately Mike after being airborne for some time got low and had great difficulty in getting away. Allan went on to win the day and is now only 45 odd points from the lead and running second. Today will tell the final story for club class.
Tobie has flown exceptionally well, yet again, and won the day. Had he not had a “bad luck day”, he would have been in an almost unbeatable position. Despite giving up 1,000 points he is still in 3rd position. Best let the pilots tell the real story of the task flying.
Today’s task, Day 10 and final contest day, is an assigned area exercise with 3 areas. 209 to 397 Km (point to point 302). All aircraft are airborne; the gates are open and pilots waiting for their planned start time.
Brendan has been excellent in spotting and playing a positive roll in Allan and Mikes team flying.
When the pilots return we will have the endplay.
The whole team has now blended into a well oiled unit and working extremely well together. Each day’s routine follows a set pattern, which has now morphed, into a positive daily operation. It all augers well for the real thing next year.
At the end of today we will give you the end of competition details. Good luck to the boys.
