The Report:
The German Midlands are a new international contest orgenized in crawinkel.
The organization was very well and the pilots had very high qualifications.
Day 1
The first day was to windy so the first task was blown away at 16 o´clock.
Maurice Knurr was the only one how reach the first waypoint.
Day2
The task was a high selektiv triangle. Maurice Knurr was the only one in goal Again… Stefan Born, Jürgen Bienhüls and my smallness reaches the second angle.
Day 3
Nobody reaches the goal. but some small distances were flown and at the evening there was some sausage soup with egg.
Day 4
strong wind and torn thermal made the task very difficult. So nobody reaches the goal. Nevertheless we had some fun.
