F5J Round 1 Results

Thanks to all who made this another great event. 

Weather was warm and sunny and the wind favored the slightly heavier, molded gliders. We all had some good flying but the top guys seemed to have it all together. The race for top spot was between Gert and Johan with Johan taking the lead by a few points. Evan did well to finish in third against the big ships flying a Tsotsi. Well done guys!

My biggest hassle was hitting the landing spot, and I was not alone.

Many, many thanks to the girls that helped with timing and scoring chores.

Thermal activity was quite good as can be seen from the tight formation the picture below:

We had a good mix of gliders from modified Gentle Ladies, a Radian, a few Tsotsis right up to Explorer-E and a Pike. Johan's Pike launches vertically (well almost).

Wingman Gert:

Merke, gereed.......

Hugh and Gert really concentrating.

Discussing tactics?

If this looks like fun please join us for the next event 27 April 2013.
