‘Elite’ – Plaine Joux Comp – Day 2
Task 1 – Results
Second day of the ‘Elite’ competition held here today, 9th May, I’m writing this a day late…
They managed a decent enough task given the fickle weather conditions. It was one of those Plaine Joux days, when it all appears like it’s going to be working, and just when it’s all happening, it decides to ‘switch off’, calling everyone’s bluff, and almost everyone ends up scratching around, to claw something out of nothing!
I had a sweet end of the day, fly around on the school Alpha 5, most enjoyable! after a good day with Yuko, who progressed a little more today.
The competition, second task, was a ‘cats cradle’ within the valley, with an optimised route of 39.424 km. only five pilots made goal. Yesterdays task was again, a ‘cats cradle’ within the valley, but the route was 47.430 km so a little further.
The results of the first task, that were pinned up on the board. I think a lot of pilots were caught out. Had a bit of a laugh with one of the pilots, joking about the conditions being perfect for the beginners! Haven’t got a clue who he was though!
Last Minute – Task 2 adjustments.
