Day 5 (Steve)

Sebastian Kawa waits on the grid for a launch

A pretty crappy day weather wise but flyable, just. As you can see from the photo above things were pretty blue and weak come launch time. So a small 1.5 hour AAT was set.

As it turned out it was a great day for team kiwi in the 18m class with John Coutts coming in a clear 1st for the day and Brett Hunter coming in 22nd. Pity the day was so short and devalued. Today's win means John keeps his record intact regards having had a day win in every worlds he has ever attended, this being his 7th. Not so good for me in the 15m class at around 36th (some scores still to come in).

Here's hoping for better weather tomorrow. A 1,000 point day would be nice as we have managed only one so far.

The sun shines on John Coutts winner for the day
