Initially, the air was very still, with thermals and some BIG sink developing as the contest progressed.<div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></span></div><div>We flew the Cali ALES format, basically ALES rules with launch height limited to 100 meters. <span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">It was really a lot of fun! Very challenging flying on a couple of those rounds. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Everyone was flying well, although Scott was handicapped by continuing motor troubles. Timing for Jumpers in round 5 really made my day. ;^ ) What awesome flying!!!! Two big saves from right on the hangar roof line to make time on a 10 minute task, and returning through major sink to get the landing, and win the round. When I grow up, I wanna fly like Bob!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;">Winter well and build something,</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Palatino-Roman;"><br></span></div><div><div><div>
