First launch is scheduled for 11.15, there are Cus popping already. Task lengths are similar to yesterday.
It is interesting to see that yesterday several pilots in Standard Class used the rule allowing you to take a 50 point penalty if you round a point within 1 km (since the point was too high to reach).
Launch is delayed until 11.30 am.
At briefing they gave more details of yesterday's accident. The pilot of NX (who had previously landed back and overran the runway, and taken a relight). The pilot then outlanded he saw a fence at the last minute pulled up stalled/span and crashed. The impact was severe enough to set off his EPIRB. Emergency services were called and he is now in hospital. He needs an operation which they may do here or transfer him home to Hungary. Apparently he was to have been a part of the Hungarian organising committee for the World Comps there .
