Contest Day 8 - last day

It was a beautiful sunrise with the full moon just setting, as we rigged the glider. Coyotes were howling in the distance.

The gliders are ballasted and ready to go at the runway. Grid time is 12:00 CDT with the first launch expected at 12:20. The launch order is Open, 15m, 18m. The tasks are all area tasks. The 15m task A is a 4 hr area task 322k minimum, 771k maximum. Tasks B and C are step downs in the task time to 3:40 and 3:20. That would make a task change in the air easy.

The task setter is certainly not pulling any punches because it is the last day.

The internet at our B&B is out, so I ma not sure if I will be able to send out a post-flight digest.
Scores will be at:
