Miles in May - summary
We had two more task, Monday, and Tuesday, both were to Bassano, about 80 km., to the NE.
We had strong south winds each day, Monday I was 700 meters short, felt alittle like Scott, as he comes in short sometimes, and Tuesday I was 10 km. short, with pilots sprinkled all the way back, there was more pilots close on tueasday however.
Doug hasn't finished the scoring yet, as Rob Clarckson needs to get his back up gps to him, as his 5030 did not have a track log for the start of his flight. James Lintott also had gps problems the first day, as his garmin GPS II quit acquiring on him. hmm makes me think I should get a back up too. Also lost all the way points and track log in Darrel Bossert's gps when I changed the batteries for him, it would not stay on long enough to down load, so I installed new batteries, and well it lost everything except the Garmin way pt., think the internal battery is shot.
Back to the flying, in a word , its over, forecast is rain rain rain, and everyone left, real bummer, but that's flying as you know weather dependent.
