        Darangshi 260m north wind.

        After the snow storm, it's forcast to have zero or no wind at Daegu, last minute decision was made to change venue to Jeju, island south of the mainland.

        Some practice today at Darangshi oreum, one of the 368 craters in jeju. Took 30mins to climb up 260ms.

        Before climb up the mountain.

                  First day was washed out from rain.

                  For the second day competition, it was raining in the morning. We left for darangshi as forecast was north west wind. we waited at bottom until the rain stop at 11:45am, then we took the 40 minute hike up. at the top it was covered with dense fog, so another wait till 2:30pm the fog started to clear up. Then after problematic setup with some equipment malfunctions, we finally kicked start at 3:15pm. The first lucky pilot to fly is Allan Yeung from hk. Well, he made it without problem although the slope had some cross wind and turbulence. We finally managed to complete two rounds at 5:30pm just before sunset. We were all happy and didn?t mind to walk down in darkness, ha ha that?s the crazy pilots we are.

                  Current top 5 ranking is
                  1 st : Stanley Chan, Hong Kong
                  2 nd: Haeryoung Hwang, Korea
                  3 th: Joe Sung, Taiwan
                  4 th: Son Kwonsam, Korea
                  5 th: Pang ,Singapore

                  Fastest speed is 42:xx by Korean pilot

                  We expected to have lighter wind tomorrow so the best speed will most likely be kept by the Korea pilot. In order to gain the lost time, we will get up early tomorrow morning and leave the hotel at 6:00am.

                      Thank you all for your support. the Korean organizer, despite of the poor weather, they have done a wonderful job to make this competition a success.

                      The third day contest.

                      We left hotel very early in the morning and arrived at the flying site just before 7am. The wind was 4 to 6 m/s initially and gradually dropped to zero after only 5 pilots have flown in the first round of the day. So we had to wait. Fortunately, the wind did come back at around 11:30am and we quickly restarted the game. Wind speed was marginally at 3m/s and graduately went up to 6 m/s when the contest was drawn to a close at 3:30pm. Three rounds were completed, so all together with two rounds completed yesterday we got 5 rounds to make it an official record.

                      Tried to catch up but narrowly miss out by 60pts to make the individual podium.

                      Final Top 5 Ranking is

                      1 st: Stanley Chan, Hong Kong
                      2 nd Joe Sung, Taiwan
                      3 th Haeryoung Hwang, Korea
                      4 th Pang Yong Wee, Singapore
                      5.th Fu Hua Chang, Taiwan

                      Teamed up with the other 2 TW pilots n we got 1st for team placing.


                      Cheers!
