After the adventures this morning, it was time for another single afternoon task.
The director called for a Gordon Bennett Memorial with the Benalla airfield as the scoring area. Variable winds again made launch site choice a challenge.
We ended up with a climb to about 5500 ft to get the required direction. With a lot of leaning to the left we ended up getting the marker down about 200m from the target and inside the scoring area.
Interesting is a recurring theme here, but with about a third of the field not getting results and such a large scoring area there are people spread everywhere and the results will be well, interesting.
I am pretty sure after this mornings stuff ups I am back down the pack by a few places but the weather looks good for flying all the way through the week so there is time to catch up again.
