Well this is a task for the 4 stroke motors and very hot PG type flying pilots and wings. The speed wings are not really suited to this task and we get really tired trying to fly them just above stall the whole time. 2h30 is usualy about our limit before we are so tired just holding your arms up is hard. But all said the weather looks stunning for thermals and we could probebly stay up without much trouble. The ceiling is 1800m but the organisers are trying to extend it higher. if they do the task could end 6 hrs later. we have to be on the ground at 17h00. the Clover task starts at 18h00 and is finnished at 21h00. ( our days are very long and we re feeling it here). Up at 4 or 5am and then in bed at 23:30 if we ar lucky.
Our gurus for this task are our PG pilots and they happen to be the tandem team. Anton and mias will have a tail today, just about all the team will probebly be following them aroung the sky. With Anton at the controls and feathers in his fingers we stand a goo chance of a great position today.
Every task we have flown this week from 11am has produced stonking thermals where pilots without reflexed wings are telling me they are seing the top of their wings so fun and games.
chat later

Hello to the South African 2009 PPG Team. Thank You for a actual report. It's very interesting for me. We have seen us in China 2007and I hope we see us 2011 in SA.
