Flying Sparkes 3 - Stadhampton 25/04/09
Another competition held in less than ideal conditions. The day was mainly sunny but the wind.... CD Nick gave us a long break for lunch to see if the wind would abate - which it didn't. Then after round 4 when the wind was still making flying exciting Nick suspended the comp. for half hour but the forecast drop in the wind speed still didn't appear. Round 5 was slated to be poker but as flights of better than 50 seconds were sometimes hard to find it was decided to go for 3 from 6 for the last round of the day.
Special mentions to Simon Jones and Mark Freeman - both flying Blasters (I think). Simon for keeping Richard honest and Mark, in only his 3rd F3K comp., for an excellent 9th position.
The flight times tell their own story, there was lift about but it was moving fast and plenty of wild moments with models chucked about in the turbulent conditions. Fingers crossed for a better weather next time out for the Eurotour.
