South African Nationals 2011

Südafrika,   10. Dezember 2011 – 22. Dezember 2011

After Flying - Day 10 - Carol relates the story .....


There was quite a long wait after the start gate was opened before any of the pilots announced their starts.  The sky remained fairly blue at Welkom with just odd clouds here and there, though by late afternoon it has got quite a lot darker to the south.  The humidity levels have definitely increased with the stillness prior to a possible storm later.

The Club class winner for the day is Conrad Gerte – a pilot from Germany who has flown a lot of cross-country (in Namibia and in Europe) but not really flown competitions.  2nd for the day was Gunter Kruger with Stephan v.d. Berg 3rd.  This leaves the overall positions as Wayne, Konrad, and Stephan.

Meanwhile in the 18m/Open class John Coutts won the day with Arne and Ronald 2nd and 3rd.  This has resulted in a switch in the overall placings with Oscar still in the lead, Ronald 2nd and Arne 3rd.

The atmosphere amongst the pilots is happy and relaxed and all compliments are extended to Ian, as the contest director, and of course to the weather gods who have provided conditions for a successful contest.
