International Polish Open Class

My next contest before Worlds is in Poland.
I leave Toronto on May 5th, fly to Poland then drive to Germany to pick up glider from factory then back to Jelenia Gora Poland. On Saturday I plan to install instruments and do first flight on brand new ASG 29. For the next couple days I will stay here to adjust to new time zone and do some flying. From May 12th I will be in Leszno where Internationals starts May 15th. Record number of 74 pilots are registered for the contest. Polish contest attracted over 20 international pilots from Austria ,Italy , Germany, Hungary, Japan ,Ireland , UK and Canada. Most of them will be flying in 2010 Worlds as well. It looks like we will have taste of Worlds in Leszno as we have top worlds pilots flying contest including current world and European champions. It will be one of highest IGC ranked contest after Worlds. For more information about contest and future results visit contest site. http://smpo2010.gliding-leszno.pl/index.php?lang=en
