Thanks for the great coverage - I keep breaking away from what I'm doing to keep updated.

Fair play to Gernot yesterday - would I be right in saying he won every round he flew yesterday including the freestyle?

It's going to be an exciting day over there.

Precision:

1. Mark
2. Gernot
3. Jason

the more Gernot feel comfortable, the better he does!

Just a wild guess

That freestyle video of Mark's was crazy. He saved that plane. I wish he did touch the ground so he could fly today
