We flew 2-Meter & Unlimited classes Man on Man separately each day. Trophies to 5 places and Sportsman (combined) to 3 places & a High Overall 2 day trophy each class. 1st places also received a special monogrammed patch produced by Barb Robinson.
Saturday started with sunny skies and a promise of low winds from the north east and a temp of 60 moving to the mid 70's during the day. We flew 5 round of each class with the first being 6 minutes and the rest being 8 minute tasks, with a 100 inch/point landing tape. Flight groups were seeded Man on Man up to 5 pilots with landings added after normalizing. The first 4 rounds were some of the best soaring weather I have ever seen making it a landing contest. However the wind was picking up and the last round of 2 Meter was difficult with the high time of 4:28 flown by Peter beating the rest of us by at least 30 seconds.
Sunday started sunny but breezy with prediction of the wind from the south east around 6 mph increasing to around 12. Soaring was spotty but doable with roaters in the landing area. We flew 5 round of each class with the same format as Saturday. The wind picked up in the 2nd round and was at least 25 mph at 400 feet, more lead needed. The wind and landing roaters continued to increase in the 3 and 4th rounds. We ended the contest around 3pm, to have the annual LSF awards dinner at a local restraurnt.
