Model processing was made efficiently and according to the schedule published in the final bulletin. Model marking included a bar code, which was not apparently used at any later stage in the event. Participants were given a book with names and pictures of competitors, team managers and organisers, but a simple list of competitors and competitor numbers was not available. Identity badges and the score cards also included photos of the competitors.

The starting poles were identified with the flag of the nation flying at that pole, which was a useful new idea.

The start and finish times of each round were organised with computerised routine announcements including countdowns to the start and end of the round. This gave precise timing of the rounds. Changes of start time were readily accommodated. A green and red flag system was used to indicate the status of being inside or outside of a round.

The flight score cards were booklets for each nation containing the scores for all team members. This meant that scores could be processed only after all three competitors had flown in a round, which resulted in rather slow updating of the scoreboard. The scoreboard was very clear and used a system of green dots for maximum time when competitors had full scores and red dots for a maximum when total score was less than full score. This made it very easy to identify the leading competitors with rows of complete green dots.

Random checking of models during the competition covered the weight of model and rubber motors (F1B) and line length (F1A). The electronic scales used for weighing did not have a formal calibration statement and check calibration weights similar to the model weights were not available.

The winning models were processed on the field. Some dimensions which were taken with tape measures could have been measured more accurately with better equipment. Processing of the measurements by computer quickly and efficiently produced a summary sheet clearly showing if the model met the regulations.

The flying schedule published in the bulletin showed the start of the first round at 08:00, which was significantly after sunrise. At the team managers meeting it was suggested that an earlier start would be better. The published start time was used for the first day and the organisers arranged to start at 07:00 on the other two days. This gave reduced thermal activity for the first rounds. The lunch break was extended from one hour to two hours on the days with the early start, so that the finish time was the same each day.

The variable weather each day provided a good challenge for competitors. In F1C only 12 competitors reached the flyoff. The first flyoff was at 18:30 in a moderate wind. Four competitors completed the 5 minute maximum and the second flyoff was held at 19:45. With light wind, no thermal activity and good visibility the models were seen clearly and all landed under the 7 minute maximum.

In F1B it was easier to pick thermals during the day and 27 competitors reached the flyoff. With this number there were only sufficient timekeepers to have two at each pole. The Jury agreed with this deviation from the Sporting Code as the only expedient solution to conduct of the flyoff. The number was reduced to 9 for the second flyoff which was held at 20:00. Again there were good conditions and all models were timed to the ground to give a clear winner.

In F1A conditions in some rounds were quite difficult and only 18 reached the flyoff. This was reduced to only 6 for the second flyoff. Four timekeepers were allocated to each pole for this flyoff, all equipped with binoculars on tripods. he Jury delayed the start from 19:45 to 19:55 to try to have lighter wind and less chance of thermals, but still 2 competitors achieved the 7 minute maximum. A third flyoff was held on the following day at 6:45 in very good conditions.
