The August Electroglide had 6 pilots brave the overcast skies and a stiff south wind all day.
Round 1 had all pilots launching from the north weed line in a south west direction to avoid flying over the pits. It was a challenge for all to find wind lift. In the Radian Class, Stephen had the longest flight with 4:41 and a 20 point landing. Dennis had a 2:20 flight with a 30 point landing. Alex got the Luckydog.
Round 2 again had Stephen with the longest flight at 2:23 with a 20 point landing. Bob had 1:54 with a 20 point landing. Alex got the Luckydog with a 20 point landing. In the Open Class, Daric had a flight time of 1:52 with a 10 point landing. Neil had a 1:40 flight with a 20 point landing.
Round 3 saw the wind increase as did flight times. Bob had the longest flight time in the Radian Class, 2:41. Alex had a flight time of 1:59 with a 30 point landing. In the Open Class, Daric had a time of 3:26 with a 20 point landing. Neil got the Luckydog and a 10 point landing.
Round 4 had Dennis with a time of 3:49 and a 10 point landing that he really had to work for. Bob had a time of 2:29 with a perfect 30 point landing. Alex had a time of 2:19 with a 10 point landing. In the Open Class, Neil got the Luckydog and a 30 point landing. Daric had the longest flight time of the day at 7:25.
The big winners for the day are Stephen in the Radian Class with 133 points and Neil in the Open Class with 138 points. Congrats to all of today’s pilots for flying safely in very challenging conditions.
