Forbes Flatlands 2019

I’m back in Oz at the Forbes Flatlands again.  Missed last year, but it’s good to be back in the hot, dry, super consistent conditions this area offers.  It all got started yesterday with a dogleg downwind and then crosswind to the town of Stockinbingal.  With pretty strong wind in the morning that was predicted to settle down a bit, launch didn’t open until 2:45.  Even then, the north wind was anything but light.  But the task call may have a little light - 34 of the 39 open class pilots flying made goal.  This might be the smallest Forbes Flatlands I’ve been too.  There are 44 in the open class and 8 in the sport class.  It’s a pity, because conditions are looking great for the entire week and we’ll likely get eight task days.  Whew...that’s tough on the drivers here.

It’s fun to see Mario Campanella here with the Dutch team.  He seems to pop up at comps everywhere, but this is his first time at Forbes.  Unfortunately, his glider made it, but his harness did not, so he didn’t get to fly yesterday.  Hopefully it arrives today and he’ll get in the air.  

So far, today looks quite similar to yesterday but with the added complication of a lot of high cloud.  A front is pushing through and we’re not entirely sure what it will bring other than slightly cooler (high of only 37C/99F) temperatures.
