The first launches encountered low cloud, so we practiced launch failures to start. Peter continued his instructor training by demonstrating the correct procedures.
Caroline completed her training and went solo. She encountered some rain---nothing new to her this week--and handled it perfectly.
Remy completed his training and went off solo with his Mum watching anxiously from the ground.
The first of the competition visitors started to arrive today, lets hope the weather breaks for them.
Evening Flying was interrupted by showers of rain, until the team decided to stop.
