Not to much

activity these days. Getting dark realy early, and also getting cold... First snow has fallen down. But, yesterday we gathered 5 pilots and made a little LSF competition... 3 rounds and a total of 21 minutes flying time.
This is a very "laid back" form of competition, but it was really nice to get hands on the radio againg... I flew my old Pike Plus, and got 5th place... Gambled a lot in round 3 on poor conditions, and landed out. Shit happens...
Geir Strømstad was the winner, a few points before Erik, with Rune at third and Jostein at forth.
A nice late autumn sunday it was, and we plan to do a few more of this competitions during the winter. At least if it's not to much snow...

This thursday

was the last one this season, with training. I think... Getting dark very early in Norway this days. And it keeps on going worse during the winter... Just a couple of hours with daylight. But what a nice day it was today! Huge thermals all over the place. Climb to 600 meters, a lot of fun, and then climb to 600 meters again. And it was just going on and on and on... Unbelivable! Not to many guys today, but a lot of fun for those who found the way down to the field.
BUT: We plan to do a couple of winter contests this winter. And I think we would be able to to some F3B, perhaps without distance, but hopefully nice training for next season.
