RCGA Results F5J Diggers Rest November 2020
It was great to be out of lockdown and flying again.
Melbourne's catch cry of 4 seasons in a day came true as we had rain, wind, no wind, overcast and sunny conditions vary almost constantly throughout the day. In the end rain finaly curtailed our day a litte early, but we still managed to get 5 rounds completed and declared a winner.
We had one heat all score 10minutes and then the next heat had a winner with a 4 minute flight. Crazy conditions.
Most launches were over 150m but later in the day we saw a few pilots in the 50-80m range. Good fun when you can ge away from these low altitudes.
Bob Wilson had the best flight of the day when he spent the entire flight below 100m, carefully circling in multiple thermals. Very well flown Bob!
Dave Milward was the well deserved winner who adapted to the hugely varied conditions the best, and has taken his flying to the next level of refinement and consistency. Great flying Dave!
Jim Houdalakis came second with his new Prestige 2PK, so look out when he gets it really sorted!
Alan Mayhew flew very consistently into third plave with his recently refurbished Vinco.
A great day was had by all...
1st Dave Milward, Plus X and Plus Pro
2nd Jim Houdalakis, Prestige 2PK
3rd Alan Mayhey, Vinco
