A sign of things to come???

Bloody hell I hope not...The Queensland State Contest has just finished...flying just over 50% of the days...4/7.

Things must have been so dreary that no photo's have been published either...
We sent a couple of locals over to compete...looks like they ended up 8th...ish.
On a brighter note there is a great timelapse sequence of the launch of a contest fleet in Wurtsboro..where's that??? Not Germany but New York State in the US of A.
I especially enjoyed the final line-up and wave from the grid crew 4.11 minutes into the video.

The problem of doing a similiar timelapse in Matamata is all it would show is a bunch of glider pilots lying around waiting for the sky to improve...even timelapsed it'd still be a dull 5 minute video clip...

Looks like no local flying until late this week.
