Tuesday was a fuel limited task with pilots having to fly the largest area triangle possible on a limited amount of fuel. After much calculation and head scratching the best strategy was to fly downwind on the speed leg and then have an long two legs back to the finish point, all the time thinking about the fuel and getting back to the airfield. British Team pilots again did well with Richard and David coming 1st and 2nd in a task made for a chaser, Rob in the Quik R also produced a rather big triangle in a Quik R task also.
Yesterday was a spiders web task which involved flying to as many turnpoints in 2 hours, string at the ready pilots had to plan as quickly as possible to enable the longest time in the air. Good scores were again achieved leaving things finally poised into Thursdays task- a trip to Old Warden - the weather does mean that this could be interesting with an early start before the forecast showers arrive.
Plenty to fly for and plenty to loose !
