In case you couldn't tell, at 31:40, that's Sparky flying his Junar XL in Round 2, right after my pit tour. The wind had shifted so I had to take my camera and trot all the way around to the other side and missed the first part of his flight. Great flight, but a hairy landing, running out of gas exiting the Clover. He did a good job of whipping it to barely make 2 laps before the wheels touched down.
Round 2 was at least 25 degrees hotter causing a lot of last-minute guesswork with fuel loads. Not much wind for the first round; cloudy, cool and nice. But when the sun came out and heated the air up, we had some shifty thermals. I had to wait one out, and Derek burned an extra lap or 3 before one finally cleared, and then the prevailing suddenly switched 180 degrees and stayed that way. Luckily it was blowing across the flatlands both ways, so no turbulence up top to worry about. It was a sweat-fest after lunch.
