Another great day for flying in Benalla. Not a really great day for me....The morning flight was originally going to be a four part flight but very light and variable winds caused a change of tasks. In the end we had a three part flight with Pilot Declared goal, and two fly on goals.
The wind started shifting while we were still 700m from the first goal and in the end it was about 300m. Not what we had ordered for the morning.
With the second goal being a fly on we were able to adjust the shifting winds but ran out of time on the approach. Unfortunately the three time keepers in the team - Me as number one, and everyone else, forgot about the 9:30 close of scoring period and we dropped too late making a 39m drop a no result. Really not happy with that but only realised it after the flight...
The final goal is what it was supposed to be with another fly on, good goal selection and a 1.88m result which with some luck will have won that task.
For the rest of the field there have been some horror stories as well as some good results so it will be interesting to see how it pans out.
