Task 9 - Wednesday, 16 Jan
Pilots were complaining about the tasks being too short so the task advisory committee increased the length and to give us enough daylight and time to get everyone off we moved to an earlier launch time at noon. Thirty kilometer start cylinder centered to our south. Twenty five minute intervals (Zac said that he was able to make it to the first gaggle of the pilots on the previous start time in one glide when intervals were twenty minutes). First start at 1:50 PM.
With a forecast for lighter west winds we are coming back to Forbes. Great excitement from the spectators yesterday.
LAST TASK for the 2013 Worlds!!!!
180+ km from the edge of the 30 km start cylinder. Out and return in a cross wind to the north. Wind decreases as the day proceeds.
