Day 12 (August 28)
    The day seems to be bad; the sky is covered with clouds and does not promise any good. The organisation decides all the same to go to the take off and try to let the pilots fly as soon as it is possible. The task is 75km with a speed session of 71 and landing place at Formosa. The conditions reveal to be very poor and the pilots are having a hard time advancing their route.

    None of the pilots arrives at goal and the one who succeeds to make the most kilometres is of course the one and only Manfred, who doesn't stop amazing us!

    The task should not give many points, but in any case Manfred gains other points on his direct adversaries.

    Almost all the pilots land near the 1st turn point, Robert and Nene included. Also our Italian pilots Christian, Alex and Pippo land near the 1st turn point; Christian does not pass the 1st turn point. Federico, Tullio and Davide remain a bit more behind.

    Ron Richardson makes a bad accident and suffers some fractures on his pelvis. Tomorrow probably again rain.


Manfred Ruhmer's comment:
    I was definitively feeling better but the day turned out to be with very poor conditions; No pilot at goal, just 3 pilots reached the 2nd turn point and landed right after.
