The third competition day with bad weather. Pictures taken by Juho Karppinen.
The second competition day was again rainy.
After yesterdays humidity Lassi’s plane was out of trim and made his flying difficult. Even it was raining hard during the evening, we went to a practise site to make some trimming flights. Pictures taken by Juho Karppinen.
The first competition day was flown on Sunday in rainy conditions. It was raining practically the whole day but clouds were high and didn’t cause much troubles for competition. The day was completed almost in schedule but everything was soaking wet and the field had turned into mud. The weather forecast doesn’t expect better conditions until Thursday. Photographer was Juho Karppinen.
Official practise took place on Saturday and we were able to get used to the contest site. Mountains behind the airfield offered interesting experience for pilots not used to such landscape. However, flying in front of mountains was easier than we first expected.
The sun was shining almost the whole day but it started raining just before the last flights. After a small delay flying could be continued and opening ceremony started almost on time. Photos were taken by Juho Karppinen.
