5/8 – Competition Day 1

Today we had a “weather lottery” that luckily ended up with us winning.

All the classes flew 2 hour AAT, that was shortened from 2:30 AAT due to much worse weather than expected by all the forecasts. The club class fortunately got on task before a mid-level cloud cover patch weakened the weather around the airfield. However, the standard class and 15m class had a very complicated pre-start situation with the necessity to stay airborne until around 16:00, when majority of the competitors were finally able to get on task with a promising window ahead of them.

Currently, the winner in club class is Jacek Fils (POL) with 81 kph, in standard class Norbert Scarlat (ROM) with almost 99 kph, and in 15m class Filip Bojanowski (DEN) with 89.67 kph.

Congratulations to everyone who made it back home safely, and don’t worry if you were not the lucky one today… we have the whole championship ahead of us, so stay motivated!
