We arrived this morning to find very little wind blowing in no particular direction, but it was dry and sunny.

DLGs and electric models all came out to play and we eventually went over to Mickey's West to set up the course.

The wind continued to build, and by mid day, the wind had squared up begun to stabilise.

4 rounds were flown with 29 Pilots in some quite variable conditions. Times generally in the high 40s but ranging from 38 - 62s. Wind speeds from 3 - 7 m/s.
