The European championships for 15m and open class started today in
Finland.
The tasks on the first day is 834 Km for 15 meter and 1012 Km for open. I
guess that will get the attention of the participants ;-)

The results:

In Open Class all but three pilots made it (1 K, that is!) and also all
the
three not completing the task flew over 900 K.

The 15 meter class had clearly easier task, only one pilot outlanded.

So, this must be Finland

Just out of curiosity: What is the longest task given AND completed in any
major competition?

And now some sleep
