Last week we scored four days in a row. -Three days at Stanwell and one bonus day at Hill 60, Port Kembla.

PHOTO BELOW: Here's my co-pilot Leon, on his birthday flight, at the controls as we're looking back at Bald Hill.
This time I put the Ricoh GX100 camera on the interval timer (my preferred way to shoot) so we could focus on the flying. -what a concept...

Well the day after the comp we finally get to see the real Brasillia skies. Here is a picture I took from my hotel yesterday afternoon.

Today was looking good with some clouds but mostly blue they set a 127kms task with 5 turnpoints. Andre and I started well and were quite far infront and just pushed to low on one glide and we both landed. Awile later the gaggle came over us and probably about 15 made goal. Glauco the local boy will win his first day followed by Nene about 5 minutes later. Check out the inflight footage for more info..

Looking down on launch..

Well I have just been informed tonight that we will be dropping our worse score similar to the FTV that we have used in Australia. It would have been nice to know this at the beginning of the comp like everyone else did but I guess they were keeping the secret from me. So now we have only 2 days left of the comp so I need to go hard to try and catch up on some lost points.

I have had many request from pilots wanting to know what I am using for these films. I am only using my digital still camera in movie mode. The camera is a Cannon Powershot SD 870IS which belongs in my side pocket of my Matrix race. I have no camera mount on my glider I am just holding the camera in my left hand whilst filming. I am using the correct foam to cancel out the wind noise a little but as I am flying a Litespeed there is still some wind noise in the background. I hope this answers most of your questions.

A 113kms task was set with a very hard 2nd leg to sort out the men from the boys. Unfortunately I was one of the boys today and got stuck after nearly landing. Was good thermals but quite strong wind and if you did not get high or get the strong thermals it was easy to land. For todays video click below.

Day 5 Video I hope you enjoy.

A 89kms task was set with 4 turnpoints then landing back in Brasillia. The day was a little windy and the climbs were not as good as yesterday. Andre and I had another great start and slowly the gaggle caught up to us between 1st and 2nd turnpoint.
I was flying conservative and then got low after missing a thermal that Andre and Nene got after the 3rd turpoint. I had to scratch for awhile before getting up and and heading to goal. I arrived about 6 mins behind Andre and Nene and will come in about 6-7th for the day. For inflight entertainment check the video out below.

A 122kms task with 4 turnpoints before landing in the Esplanada. Andre and I planned our tactics before launch and the task went as planned. We gained a early lead by having a good start and were able to pull away even more from the gaggle as the task went on. Andre was dragging me along all day so that I could make the videos for you to watch.

Day 3 video.
