F5J 3 Diggers Rest Victoria November 2019
You couldn’t ask for better weather than last Sunday for f5j, 21 degrees forecast, blue skies and except for the occasional thermal gust, almost dead calm,
A light sea breeze kicked in for the last round of the day but there was plenty of lift around all day, if you knew where to look.
Low launches were the order of the day, which we rarely get to do with confidence here at Digger's Rest, since it's usually windy and hence pilots are usually a bit conservative.
A few regulars were missing with family obligations, but those that came, enjoyed the day.
There were the usual pilots there, and this time Max Kroger decided to finally join in the flying, instead of just helping time. It was good to see him joining the fray after a long break from competing.
Congrats to Bob Wilson who took out 3rd with very consistent flights and heights,
second was me with some inconsistent flying,
and a big congrats to David Millward in 1st who appears to have now got a handle on his new Pluses.
