Hi Dave,
Here’s copy from SEN, posted today.
– NormJr WC update
============
Author : ken bauerHi Roger,
Here’s a bit more news from Germany. The weather continues to be windy,
rainy and cold. This is the 5th day in a row of this stuff since we’ve
been here. Today was F1A day and our 3 boys got started pretty well in
very difficult conditions. Wind was blowing about 15mph and the team
decided to pick everything on the ground and straight tow up and off.
Tyler maxed the first round but both Brian and Kyle dropped a few
seconds in very turbulent air. Retrieval is tough – over the fence, in
the corn, one in a tree, just in the first couple rounds. It is taking
ofter 30 to 60 minutes to get the models back. The kids all maxed in
rounds 2 & 3 and then the lunch break came and it started raining for a
couple hours. The Jury and organizers then decided at 2pm to cancel for
the rest of the day and try to finish on Friday morning. After 3 rounds
USA is in first place in the team score, around 45 seconds ahead of
Ukraine I heard. Weather reports are supposed to be improving the next
couple days so we’ll see what happens.More later, Ken
WC word from George

Author : slogb@charter.netHi Roger. This is report 1 from The Jr. WC. Flew, or started to fly F1A

dropped 6 sec in first rd, Brian Bauer 39 sec in same round. Tyler Secor
still clean. US Team is in !st place so far. Will finish on Friday,

Team Wins F1B!
http://www.freeflight.org/competition/juniors/2006TeamUpdate.htmUS F1B Team wins F1B team at Jr WC
By Ken Bauer
From SCAT Electronic NewsHere is the latest news from Germany. George asked me if I would cover this report for him. It started off very cold and windy again this morning. The first round was postponed until 10am because weather reports indicated conditions would improve throughout the day. It was still blowing pretty good at 10 but the contest started anyway. Our F1B kids Taylor, Paul, and Evan did very well. Conditions were tough, especially early when it was cold, overcast, no sun and difficult to find lift. Taylor and Evan each had small drops of less than 20 seconds and Paul remained maxed out the whole day until the 7th round when he model came down near some trees and he was clocked off at 2:29, although many other watches has him at about 2:49. That dropped him out of the flyoff which had only two left, a Polish flyer and a Brit. But Paul was still very happy to be part of the winning US team. Plenty of drama for the US guys including a couple crashes and attempts, but they kept cool and pulled it together. The weather actually got much better as the day wore on. Wind slowed down and we could finally remove our jackets. Predictions for tomorrow are good weather and the rumor is that they may try to finish F1A tomorrow as well as fly F1P.
US Juniors Sweep Team Events
By Ken Bauer
From SCAT Electronic NewsLatest news: our Junior team won the team event in both F1P and F1A today which makes for a sweep of all the events. Thursday started out with the best weather we have seen all week and F1P went smoothly. Cody and Anthony both maxed out and will be in a 3 man flyoff in the morning with a Polish flyer. Brian P had only a couple small drops and ensured the team victory. Round 4 of F1A was then started afterwards at 4pm but by this time the wind was almost as strong as when they postponed on Tuesday. Our kids maxed the remaining flights through round 6 with Kyle dropping only 10 seconds one flight. Rounds were delayed because of a full scale plane trying to use the runway for takeoff and then because a thunderstorm was coming very close. There was plenty of drama – Brian B was the last flyer to go in the 6th round and was circle towing with the thunderstorm approaching. His model then DTed on the line for a still unexplained reason, maybe electrons from the storm or moiseture or switch failure, but it was an attempt since the model came down with the line still attached. Just at that moment the wind direction shifted 90 degrees and the velocity picked up dramatically as the storm started to hit. Brian picked up the backup model and immediately towed staight up and off with a perfect bunt. The model was in good air and maxed as the rain started coming down and everybody headed for cover. A few other flyers finished the round in the rain. At this point the F1A team was maintaining their lead in the team standings and at 7:15pm and with rain coming down it was clear that all flying was done for the day. The only question was when and if round seven would be flown. For the next hour various rumors circulated that round 7 would be flown tomorrow morning with the flyoffs to follow, then there were more rumors that the contest would be stopped after 6 rounds. After a meeting of the Jury, organizers, and team managers it was announced that there would be no round 7 but that the flyoffs for both F1P and F1A would be in the morning. Most aggreed that this was the only reasonable solution since flying round 7 in the morning would push the flyoffs later in the day into the thermal activity which could be a mess. At that point the US kids could finally celebrate. In F1A the second place team was Ukraine and the third place team was France. I can’t remember the others for F1P. Tyler Secor will be in the F1A flyoff along with 6 others.
Latest I heard. Cody Secor is the new F1P Champion and Tyler took 4th. All three teams !st. place!
What an outstanding performance!!
