Worlds Flight 1

We just got back to the competition centre after the first flight. We had 3 tasks (PDG, FIN, FON). Sean and I teamed up together this morning and took a completely different approach from the rest of the field. It was a good tactic, however we just worked out that we were about 400m outside of the maximum 10km. This means we will probably get a considerable distance penalty added to our results for the FIN.

My results for the three tasks were 29m, about 30m (probably plus 800m for the penalty) and 50m for the FON. The are not great results, but hey...it is the first flight and I am just getting myself into the swing of things.

The weather (rain) looks like it is going to move in this arvo, so we might have a day or so of no flying.
