Today has been cancelled.
This brings us to the end of the Gauteng Regionals 2016. See you all again next year!
All pilots have been briefed. We will be gridding on runway 18R, so there will be no water for any classes. The weather looks challenging today, so short tasks have been set.

All pilots except SG have returned safely. SG has landed out close to Ventersdorp. A great day again!

As expected, the first pilots have already returned with very high speeds!

Although the weather looks very good, we have reports from the south that the front has moved in quicker than we thought. We have therefore changed to task B for Open and 15m class so that we keep the pilots in the good weather and out of the cold dry air behind the front. Club class will still fly task A as their task was set towards the west. Our two pilots that had undercarriage collapses are flying today, well done! More updates soon along with some very high speeds think.

Pilots in the 15m class are already at the second turn point. Perhaps we should not have changed to task B, as it seems that even without water the speeds are going to be high! Another great competition day!

The grid has been launched, however all aircraft had to release their water ballast to ensure launches were carried out safely. The weather looks very good and we are expecting hi speeds. Because all aircraft are not carrying any ballast, we have selected task B for all classes. More updates soon!
