If flying early in a round is bad, then Paul has a tough draw!

We'll pick up our play by play with the second round- the first already flown.  Today the fliers have three flights with one throw away.  Paul is on the circle waiting while the judges catch a break.

Paul is working a crisp pattern with lowing bottoms at 5.16.  All the pilots are backpedaling in the near dead air and of course looking right into the sun.  He lands.

Derek moves the judges around about 15 degrees closer to the beans.  Might be more about the sun than wind.  Clocking 5.19

He is generally at 5' and good at it.  Maybe one bottom he'd like to have back.

Dave's play-by-play is really great. His inside knowledge of stuff helps the narrative....I'm referring to the maneuvers being directly in the sun. Decisions, decisions...bias around or fly blind? There's a lot going through the minds of these pilots, the changes come rapid-fire.

Thank you, Dave Trible,
dg

A very nice touchdown.   Kaz moves forward.  He had a mis-start in the first round.  He took an attempt and was actually the last flight in the first round.  Brett holds.

Kaz carries just enough pitch on the 4 blade prop that the PA .75 never breaks out of the four cycle until the final half lap.   He now lands.

Absolutely pinpointed the intersections of the overhead eight.  That is VERY hard when there is no set reference up there... Pick a cloud... He lands now

Again, thank you and have a safe trip home.
