The afternoon was shaping up to be a beauty with three markers on the table.Winds were still strong and from the north/north west but we were hoping they would ease.
The planned flight was a PDG, FON and FIN with the FIN able to be flown out of sequence so you mix the order to your advantage.
Just before the start of the 1500-1600 the launch period the PDG and FON were cancelled by SMS and the launch period was reset to 1545-1600 for just the FIN task.
With all the normal crazy driving and finding launch sites we ended up wedged in a field with one American, three Brits and Mizukami San from Japan. It was going to be very tight in the windy inflation.
Just as we were all about to start the fans another message came through cancelling the flight in total. Time to pack it all up and go find a beer or three.
Results are up from the morning. My 8m on the PDG only paid 693 points, the second task was actually third place and 952 points - two pilots crept over to the other hesitation waltz goal and did well there.
An interesting thing with the scoring kicked in on the Hesitation waltz. Because there were three of us very close to goal(s) but everyone else was out near the median result, the scores jumped from my 952 down to the mid 500's almost instantly. This will really hit people hard because there are three of us that made a 400 point break on the entire field - a rare advantage to get.
The fly on was also only good for 620 points but at least it is above the median.
