30mins climb up the mountain was not too bad and we were greeted with 8m/s wind at yesterday's practice. Some minor scratches on landing , and small issue with Vincent's Frsky module, all fixed n ok for today's day 1 of race. Wind forecast is similar condition as yesterday's, dropping over next few days.

Race day 1 started with strong but horrible cross wind 30-45 degrees. Very little lift resulting very slow times n some stalls. Francis flew a very smooth flight , Vincent had some troubles with his radio installation and lost radio signal with his stinger on the way to land. Luckily he managed to recover it with only a slight broken fuse. Red is his lucky colour.

Wind dropped to below 3ms and we could only finish 1.5 rounds. Spent more time taking photos than flying.



Repairing

We moved to High junk peak for day 2. 45mins of climbing before we reach the top. Wind speed of ard 4-5ms in the morning before it dropped again to below 3. The typhoon last week sucked up all the wind . We could only finish just another 1round. One Good run for me , narrowly missing out on the fastest speed by 0.04s. However landing was tricky, came in hot and hit a tree on landing. Beer can repair n went up again for another flight.

Hopefully we have enough wind today to finish Rd 4 for a official race.

we finished a total of 4.8 rounds before the contest director announced its over. Prize giving and banquet in the evening. A very well organised contest just no luck with wind.

Kenting Lungpun is the slope f3f paradise, we had 15-20ms wind the whole day yesterday. Amazing place to fly.
Landing was exciting with gust of winds blowing ur glider off balance every few seconds. My cyril got flipped 2m off the ground n suffered a broken neck. Frank Pace went too low on a turn and went to the bushes below. Repair work started after dinner.

It was all good for today. Wind slowed down abit, we are happy no repairs needed for today n we can relax abit.
