Saturday morning and good weather

This morning is a lovely day at Touzim. Currently the only clouds in the sky are very high and the wind is light and variable. We had some rain overnight here, so we may see some cumulus develop as the temperature rises, but at 0925 it all looks good and the warm-up pilot is about to fly. If the weather stays within limits we expect Nick will fly at about 1045 and Gerald & Tom at about 1215. Given the very light wind the judges will be in the South position, with the main box axis being aligned with the runway. Forecast is for the wind to increase a bit during the afternoon from the North, making it an on-judge wind. I've just heard Nicolas Ivanoff take off to do the warm-up flight and low lines and the box looks clear of cloud. Nicolas stepped in to do the warm-up pilot job at short notice, because there were no other warm-up pilots available from the participating teams, so we are very grateful that he was prepared to do the job.
