Default Region 5 South Contest Report

Thanks Eric. Been pretty busy lately. We do a racing clinic every night at 8 discussing the various phases of contest flying. So far we covered Start Strategy, Enroute Decisions, Speed to Fly, and reviewed Sailplane Grand Prix flights that Sean Fidler narrated. We also review contest flights by class. DL, DI and WB have been great Task Advisors and Scott Fletcher is a superb weatherman. This team is the reason why today’s task was safe and fair. The pilots also deserve a shout out for their operations in the vicinity of the airport and working together on course. It was a shame we couldn’t get 15 Meter Combined another day. I’m afraid we may be done at Region 5 South. This low may stick around through Saturday. Oh well, off to Hobbs!
