Finally at 14 we started in very windy condition, but the sun was back and as you can see in the graf the wind was declining rest of the day. In the first round circling was a challenge and more where landing on line. It was also a weekend where up and away was a good aproach. We had 1 h 15 m rounds with 15 minutes break between. That was needed to get the models back, but with 2 km flying site it was only the higest who reached the border. All rounds proved difficult and in the end only 3 in F1A and 3 in F1s had a clean score. After 4 rounds at 20.00 the contest was stopped to leave time for the flyoff

The front passage is very clear. Where the wind drops, the rain started. We where flying from 14.30 to 20, with flyoff right after.

Fly-off in F1A and F1S. F1S started with 3 minutes max. Marcel went first followed by Mike and Urs. Urs missed 5 seconds. Sunday morning at 07.10 we had the second flyoff in F1S, this time a 3 minutes altimeter flyoff, to be ready before Norwegian Cup. Mike won with another max.

In F1A it was a 6 minutes flyoff. Erik went first, but burst his line in the start, by luck the model turned an started gliding. Kosma and Per made nice starts later in the round. It was a very close decision with Per getting 284 sec, Erik 279 and Kosma 276.

Pricegiving at Jutland Heath Cup was after the 5 rounds of Norwegian Cup.

Norwegian Cup

Norwegian Cup was pleased with better weather than JHC from the beginning. Briefing was at 7'o clock and start at 7.30. Already from the first round it was possible to find termal and maybe it was easier to locate the good spots. We ended up with flyoff in all four classes. In F1B all contestans went to flyoff. More times we saw picky backing and big groups of models in the air at the same time, maybe because of the wind increasing during the day as you can see in the graf from Karup. In both 4. and 5. round Karl Desinger had flights on 2,5 km with DT after 3 minutes and almost the same DT time. Both flights landed just inside the field. The juniors Albert and Moritz Niemierski was doing a very nice job both with 4 maxes and then a drop in the fifth round. Oscar Amthor was the best junior with five maxes and a winning flyoff start to take the overall win in F1Q.

First round was 1,5 hour followed by rounds of 1 hour, but with 30 minutes break between. It gave nice time and a lot of talking between competitors. Another advantage with periods of 1 hour was more models to look at and not so many starting alone. Between the 4. and 5. round we got 45 minutes break to help those flying more than 2 km. Just before 3 o'clock we had finished the 5 rounds and got a long break before flyoff in the evening.

20.00 sunday evening we where back on the field to the flyoff briefing. After some discussion we desided to go for a single 6 minutes altimeter flyoff as late as possible in the hope of the wind to decline. After 2 days with many long walks I think nobody really would preffere both a 6 and a 8 minuttes flyoff.

First flyoff was F1S kl. 21.00 with the 3 Amthors. They throw there models at the same time, making it difficult to the timekeepers to follow the right model, because they where climping fast around each other, but making it fun to the rest of us, who could compare the climp and flight directly. Marcel won with 156 seconds.

Next out was F1B with 4 competitors. I know 3 of us broke a engine. Jes went first in nice air. Dag had a problem with the timer and checked it before going a bit later. Karl went as nr. 3, but I was bussy at that time, so no idea of his flight. I was last to start in very quiet air. Jes won 5 seconds ahead of Dag.

F1A had 6 with full time, but Vitek had already started the trip home. We saw 5 beatyfull starts and got the only two maxes in all the flyoffs. So we had to wait for Per and Robert to get back with there heights. Robert won with 27 meter against Pers 23 meter.

Then Oskar and Morten was ready to finish the day with the F1Q flyoff. It was called junior against senior. Oskar started first and had the best climp and got the win. Mortens model was better when helped by the termal.

After a very long day we had pricegiving in the last light.
