RCGA Results Open Thermal Diggers Rest June 2020

First open thermal since coming out of covid-19 lockdown,

the weather forecast wasn't looking great,

but we had 6 eager pilots turn up, and 6 winches laid out, for some fun flying open thermal gliders.

Being the start of winter lift started pretty light if any, and the wind was already 

starting to pick up.

Anyway blue skies and the lift gradually got stronger but so did the wind, half the pilots flew f3b planes,

which thrived in the conditions.

However as the afternoon wore on and the lift became weaker, and the wind got stronger, everyone was getting caught out in the challenging conditions, and it was hard to tell who was doing best.

Anyway we pulled the pin after 5 rounds, and I'm pretty sure it was gusting well past the limit as we were packing up.

Final placings were:

Jim Houdalakis 1st

Gerry Carter 2nd

Marcu Stent 3rd
