25th July - Event Report

We had a good event at Shawbury.  Again blessed with sunshine - Thanks Stuart/Lorraine for arranging everything.

The first round was a bit of a disaster for everyone and you could see we hadn't had a competition for 2 months!  Lots of people hitting the limiter and landing early and some not even going up.  Our tame dutchman had a problem with the language and tried to climb at base B after being told to cut a 6 short which was taking ages :D

After round 1 things settled down and we got some good scores in. Jos did 2 rounds with 44 legs which is a PB and given the "slow air" was very good. His plane is very nicely dialed in and he is flying a good course now.

Whilst we await the results to be posted I have uploaded some video footage taken from Base B. http://www.f5b.co.uk/Shawbury%20-%20Video/  You'll need to download the individual files to play them.    The idea behind this footage is to see if we can get an automatic practice system so people can train on their own.
