Day 5 and 6 – The first day off and a tricky one behind

News 18m, Day 6, Doppelsitzer, Doubleseater, Offene Klasse, Open Class, Tag 6

Friday was neutralized for all classes due to the weather – continued rain in the morning. There was time to take a look at the area or to recover from the hardships of the last few days.

The forecast for Saturday, however, looked better again. Grid-time 8:30 – 10:20 AM, start direction 26, briefing at 10:30 AM.

Walter Hermann, our meteorologist, yesterday described the weather as unstable and humid from the west – including the requirement for showers and thunderstorms – so everything is possible. The cloud base should be at 12:00 AM UTC – ie 2:00 PM local at 1000m. This means that before 1:00 AM hardly any launches are possible.

The thermal end was not really predictable, depending on the storm, it could be abruptly over or stop a little longer.

True to the motto of Christoph, our sports director: “Not to fly is still an option” the field briefing for the open class was carried out quickly at 12:00 o’clock AM because there was a small change in the task sheets regarding an airspace. The competition rules stipulate that a briefing must always be carried out in changes of task sheet information.

Since it was Saturday, there were also some visitors who wanted to watch the spectacle up close.

The first aviator has already started including a camera team for air and air-to-air shots.

The following tasks were advertised:

The open class was allowed to fly Day Task A, an Area Assigned Task (AAT) with a minimum flight time of 03:00 hours and a distance of between 305.0 km and 504.5 km. From the departure point Stendal Nord they went first to Vogelberg, then to Gajki and back again to Stendal airflied.

The doubleseaters had Day Task A, an Area Assigned Task (AAT) with a minimum flight time of 02:30 hours. The route could be layed by the pilots between 257.4 km and 427.6 km. Their task was to fly from Stendal-East to Kammermark via Strasburg and back to Stendal-Borstel.

The 18m pilots received Day A task, an Area Assigned Task (AAT) with a minimum flight time of 02:30 hours. With a distance between 223.3 km and 396.4 km, they started from the departure point Stendal West to Perleberg via Herzfelde and back.

13:40 was the departure released for the open class when the doubleseaters were already towed.

The pilot speaker of the DoSi’s reported this morning at the pilot speaker briefing, that it was a bit chaotic under the different levels of cloud base. It was all in the frame, but it is always a bit tricky with a low cloud base and less thermal options.

Towing the 18m class, rumbling began in the east. A thunderstorm cell passed the square and brought a few thick raindrops. Also on the horizon a little further away, the cumulus clouds piled up in this labile stratification to Cumulonimbus (thunderstorm clouds).

The weather window was very sharp. As soon as all the planes were released in the air and the start of the 18m class, a huge cloud of shivers crossed the airfield and turned the dusty desert into a muddy field.

Via live tracking it was easy to see how the pilots moved through the air.

The shower was over, and the first open-class pilots arrived in front of the finish line and landed in the square in front of a dark gray backdrop of thunderclouds passing by west of the course.

You can find yesterday’s scores here.

In the open class Markus Frank (FE) wins with his EB29 and an average speed of 125.42 km/h:

The DoSi’s day’s win is made by Alberto Sirogni and Elena Fergnani (iAM) of Italy in their Arcus T with a 114.75 km/h average:

 

The winner of the 18m class Ronald Reith (iES) from Romania with his ASG29 and a speed of 99.54 km/h:

Congratulations.

Day 3

Yesterday (Wednesday) we were finally able to send all classes into the competition. The weather “snoop” started at 1:09 PM local in gray sky.

Somewhat delayed, the rest of the doubleseaters started and was completely up in the air until 2:50. The flown day task A, a racing task with a distance of 296.7 km, started from the departure point Stendal-South first to Barby, then to Torgau via Flaeming Ost A9 towards Wuster Damm and back to Stendal-Borstel. All scores of DoSi’s here. Steffen Trapp and his co-pilot Chr. Reiss won the day at 120, 74 km / h in the Arcus M (1H).

The open class started at 3:00 PM local and was instantly in the air. For them, the B-task was activated due to the weather window. A racing task over 220.7 km from the departure point Stendal-East via Leitz to Zahna and back to Stendal-Borstel. The rating of the open can be found here. This time, Jim Acketoft (1P) took the day’s victory with his EB29DR and an average of 137.27 km / h.

The tail light was the 18m class (International Stendal Glide or pre-World Cup), which were towed locally from 15:15 clock. They had the day’s task B, a 174.6 km racing task from departure point Stendal-West to Lindau via Luesse-Belzig and back. Take a look at the rating here. Laurens Goudriaan wins the day’s victory in his JS3 (LG) with 136.27 km / h average speed.

For all helpers and teams, the exciting live tracking via OGN already began after the start.

Too fast, the three classes were back home – the first reported already at 5:30 PM in front of the target circle. The first scores were seen a short time later in Strepla and formed a hot point fight between some participants.

All participants landed back in Stendal-Borstel. The cleaning and reworking of the aircraft could be done in warming evening sun.

Day 4 (Today)

Last night it was rumored that the weather would be rather difficult today. This morning, the world looked a little different.
Walter Hermann, our meteorologist, was a bit hesitant at first, but then cleared the way for the open and double-seater class.

The sky was mostly covered. Nevertheless, the thermals on the track brought good to very good climbing values: “My beard had integrated 4.1 m / s!” (Quote participant).

Since the departure window was weather-beaten by Stendal-Borstel only short, the sports director decided to neutralize the 18m class today from the beginning – so not to let start.

The open class was allowed to fly a racing task (A) over 244.9 km from the departure point Stendal-Ost to Neustrelitz via Fürstenberg to Rathenow and back. Scoring can be found here. With an average speed of 146.6, / h, the fastest Felipe Levin (FL) was quite fast with his EB29R, closely followed by team partner and world champion Michael Sommer (EB), also in an EB29R.

The DoSi’s flew a racing task over 193.0 km from Tangermünde to Wittstock via Rheinsberg to the Wasserkuppe and to Stendal-Borstel.

Day winners are Christine Grote and Ulrich Gmelin in the Arcus T (V8) with 134.84 km / h.

Both ratings can be found here.

The first day is done!

News 18m, Doppelsitzer, Doubleseater, Offene Klasse, Open Class, Wertungstag 1

The 18m class has completed its first day of evaluation!

Some pilots had to “throw” the engine, some have not flown off or flown back to the starting line. Four outlandings.

The first feedback: “A good decision, it was really fun”.

The two other classes – open and double seater – were neutralized and were allowed to bring their gliders back to their parking space.

The strong wind has confused the hairstyle of many pilots, teams, helpers and visitors – in a pleasant alternation of sun and shade. And a beautiful backdrop of swelling clouds.

Find Photos and Videos here.

Let’s see how tomorrow works. We’re looking forward to it!
