Worlds 2011 task 2

Well here we are, big day with shady areas and some did not get lucky with the timing and landed, including myself and team mate Dave May 20 odd K's out from goal. 114km course with 90 odd people in goal. Vicki said it was the best gaggle she had seen arrive at goal ever, imagine 40 plus gliders all trying to land at once!! I will up load pics soon.

Flocks out.

Windy start to the Worlds, just some fun pics.

Who is this imposter, there is only ONE Manfred!


This was part of the crazy opening ceremony with fireworks just metres from the crowd spraying sparks over everyone!

I have some vids in HD but the Italian internet is so slow It would take literally hours, so maybe back in Aus I can upload. Looks like we will fly tomorrow and the rest of the week is looking better.
BTW, does anyone want to buy an RS 3.5?  flockhartrod@hotmail.com if your keen.
