Ok, 1.1 means this is the second update for day 1.
We have just got back from the flight which was a PDG, FIN, FON. It looked like it was going to be a bit fast up top so the taskes were set to move us out to the west and out of the mountians where it might be slower or at the very least the landings easier.
Andrew and I worked together for the morning and ended up launching on a very different flight path to most of the field. It worked out ok as far as I am concerned with 3.14m on the PDG, about 30m on the FIN and 5m on the FON.
One technical error on my part will cost us both dearly on the FIN. We were outside the Max distance of 10km by about 390m. As a result we will have twice that added to the result.
On a morning where the results will be good it will kill us and I am expecting a total of maybe 100 points on that task. If it is any consolation, it is day 1, there will be a chance to make it up and also the results on the FIN looked very close so 30m may have only been 500 points anyway!
The funny side of the morning was the last marker. Japanese love to burn rubbish! Unfortunately my 5m drop was near a very clean living farmer who promptly burnt all of the markers he could find....Good news was that the observer had already witnessed the point where it landed so we still get the result.
Crazy stuff but we are underway!
