Lunch Break

Its lunchtime in Touzim, so we expect Tom and Gerald to fly at around 1530. Nick is in 6th place at the moment which is an excellent start. There are about 18 more pilots to go. Philipp Steinbach also had a good flight putting him in 4th place, flying an aircraft he designed himself. Its impressive to see how much performance the aircraft has - its got a remarkable ability to maintain height throughout the Q sequence, which means that the figures can be positioned nicely in the box for the judges. There are Russians in first and second place at the moment, France in third, but more flights to go.

The weather looks good for this afternoon. Wind and Judges in same configuration. We are just starting again now.
