Strange thing is that for Task 2 in the 18 meter class where supposedly two gliders bumped with minimal damage...There are no two gliders scored with identical distance.

You can download the IGC files and replay the incident. Fairly aggressive pre-start between the two... |

So I am confused. Matthew Scutter's FB post says both gliders crashed and = both pilots safely bailed out. One glider spiraled in and the other looped = all the way to ground.

The first mid-air the day before, I never did hear who was involved and lev= el of damage, what class glider... Stay safe down there guys and gal! =20 On Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 4:45:07 AM UTC-8, Jock Proudfoot wrote: At 11:10 14 January 2017, RuudH wrote: Op donderdag 12 januari 2017 15:13:23 UTC+1 schreef krasw: There was a mid-air collision in 18m class today.

Damage minimal, repaired overnight, both flew yesterday. Second midair was 15M yesterday, tail missing on one, wing damage on the other causing spiral dive, both bailed out. The Australian has broken nose and damaged vertebra, the German has a broken leg. T1 |

Thanks There are IGC files for each competitor; go to http://wgc2017.com/results(hidden)/d...Metre#dayStart ; then scroll down to contest IDs HK and LK; they're links, click on the ids to download. You should get . 12 Jan for the touch... they have not posted any IGC files for the day with the loss of gliders. This is consistent with the mid-air at WGC Uvalde, when the incident glider IGC files were not released. I think this is a pity; reconstruction would be useful at safety meetings. |

Winter, time to get a life.
With no live racing from Aus last night, decided to watch "Zulu Romeo - Good Start", and monitor Allan Barnes on a coaching flight out of Lake Keepit. SPOT tracking is really poor. Today looks better at Benalla... Guessing N then SW and home? Jim |
