WMC07

Friday morning .

Things have settled down nicely now and after yesterday we have a much better idea about tasks and the make up of them. The organisers have been good with the scoring and so far so good with the accuracy and maps. It was too windy in the morning so the organisers made the right decision to postpone the task until later in the day - this did mean that as a slower machine I was sent off right in the middle of the heat and thermals. The task was a simple track accuracy and timing on a ground speed.

With such a strong wind and the chasers narrow speed range it was difficult to maintain ground speed on the downwind leg. Conditions were rough amongst the valleys and at times it meant that maintaining a good track was difficult. On return we had a spot in tricky conditions. The rest of the team did well with British pilots in 1st in each class, I came third which I was pleased with sandwiched by Czech pilots. Not all pilots in the class flew ( some pilots are still arriving !) For results see wmc07 for the individual scores see wl2 - today promises to be interesting with some timed precision spots, in the UK we have done spots for a long time but not with timing so a timed 4 minute circuit could be interesting.
