Waiting, waiting, waiting...

.... let down. Thanks to Chris for sending the emails onto me... seems I didn't make Pauls list of recipients. And now that I have the pics I'm possibly grateful... I sort of expected to see more action... anyway here they are....


















All Woke early this morning hence a bit of time to ramble on a bit, Scott had a major head cold on arrival that did not help but now on the mend, Les also was a bit affected by sun effects on the first two days but he also now coming back to his normal self . The rest of us all serviceable. The Hotel is very average with towels not changed etc, but it is clean and seems to be secure. The food is very bland and there is only one way to have it you get what you get. The staff in the hotel seam quite forceful but polite. The food and water sales at the event are bloody expensive 1.5 litre of water 1.5 Turkish lira but in our Kiwi way we have found a super market on the way home and purchased supplies @10 litre for 1.5lr . All members going through about 4 litres of water a day. I think the biggest enemy is going to be tiredness due heat and long days, breakfast is at 6am and don't get back to hotel until after 9.00 pm. The pre world even is very valuable to work out your issues. There have been a few mid airs but on the hole the flying in launch is quite safe. Today will try to get pics of the various model types around. After the completion of the round robins Scott finished 34 Les finished 77 Sven finished 42 Joe made the fly off out a field of 160 and finished 5th. All round a good warm up for next week. Les now has a cold Tomorrow processing and opening of the world event. Tonight went to dinner with the Dutch, Australians and Japanese. Paul
