Unknown III Advanced
05-08-11 WAGAC day 11
Now I and Daniel have flown, Daniel did a really good flight.
Mine was not so good. But it was more in the upper part that made
less successful flights so it can be exciting to see the full results after the flight.
Daniel has a chance at another medal!

02-08-11 WAGAC day 8
Unlimited finished yesterday, results you can find at

There is low clouds even this morning so I do not think there will be any flying for a while.
01-08-11 WAGAC day 7
There was no flight for Advanced today. I do not know if Unlimited
flew clear or if there were any flights left. I went home when I
found out that there was no flight for me today, it is better
I sleep so I'm alert tomorrow then it will almost certainly
flight.
Here are some photos from the day:
Pilatus redy for start

Polish TV interviewed me, Daniel fooling.
01-08-11 WAGAC day 7
there is 5 or 6 flights left in unlimited before we can start flying advanced. It is too much wind right now so we have to wait.01-08-11 WAGAC day 7
Now it's flying again, unlimited will fly clear then it will be advanced and I have start number 6 so I should get to fly today if the weather not is getting worse.01-08-11 WAGAC day 7
Cloud base rises but is still too low, the wind is around the limits. Hope it will be flyable soon!We have recived the flying order for the second flight, the unknown sequence:

Competition day for Advanced is canceled but there is still some hopes for Unlimited.
31-07-11 WAGAC day 6
The weather is getting better and better. Cloud base around 800m. There are ideas that Unlimited should fly split programs, that is a sharing of a program so it is done in two flights due to low cloud base.
31-07-11 WAGAC day 6
The weather is getting better and the organizer hopes in flying today. Unlimited will begin to fly. Next briefing 15:30.

The weather got better towards the afternoon but not good enough for flight
so we took a walk around town and went into some shops. Then we explored also the relaxation area at the hotel.
25-07-11 Torun day 2
Today it is raining here in Torun, so it will probably be no practice today.
But when we have time to do other things that also should be made before the competition.
24-07-11 Torun day 1
Today we have established ourselves at the airport and the hotel in Torun.
I have also done two flights to get comfortable with the surroundings
