The wind meter reading of 20 mph in the compression at the edge of the slope was

misleading and there was some ballasting, unballasting, ballasting, unballasting going on.

Me, I left mine the same as at the VR and hoped.

10 entries were received and the comp began.

We ran 8 rounds and during the latter stages the wind was dropping off and light drizzle was just starting to fall as we completed the 8th so discretion dictated that we halt the comp.

Results;

1st    Ron Russell      Viking           6973.09

2nd    Peter Gunning  Skorpion      6565.53

3rd    Ron Russell       Furio           6535.24

4th    Peter Gunning    Race M       6354.13

5th    Dave Watson    Race M        6235.17

6th    Ian Simpson      Elipse 1 T     6177.23

7th    Ian Stewart        Tragi           6138.93

8th    Robert Carson   Cobra         5984

9th    Ali Sutherland     M              5769.46

10th   Dave Watson    Sting          1845.28

Dave W was unfortunate enough to stall his Sting in the climb out during a particularly sinky moment off the course with insufficient height to recover, however it will fly again!

The wing was remarkably unmarked but the fuselage did have a dog leg in it.

I spoiled what would have been a perfect score (including one discard) with the Viking

by going and winning round 8 with the Furio.

There were no sparkling times, but the fastest are listed below.

Ron Russell   52.15  Viking

Peter Gunning 52.39  Race M

Ron Russell   52.71  Viking

Slowest time was 73.67 

Wonder when we are going to get the right wind for Bishop Hill?

Dave Watson has to be thanked for the following link to photos taken during the comp.
