The weather conditions were good, sunny, warm and dry, with large strong thermals, no wind to medium wind (in the afternoon rounds), but the direction was not optimal. Therefore the retrieving was not easy, because during the medium wind rounds the models landed mainly in agricultural terrain. The basic wind direction was nearly the same. The best conditions were on the F1P contest day, but there were not so many competitor in the fly-off as expected. The visibility was good in all days to have reliable timekeeping. The event started all day at 8 a.m. sharply, with 55 min. round time and 5 min. basic breaks.

The F1A competitors had the best chance for finding thermals and their models to stay in the thermals. The higher max in the first round was reached by 24 from the 36 competitors and 5 of 10 teams had full score. In the second to sixth rounds the number of maxes was even higher up to 30 in round 4. The total ratio of maxes was 186 (73.8) % in 252 flights. Four smooth round were flown forenoon in low wind. The starting line was replaced one time at the end of the lunch break. The wind was stronger (up to5.5 m/s average and 7 m/s gusts) for the afternoon rounds, so the breaks were extended to help retrieving the models The sixth round was interrupted for one hour because of a local front which was passing the field with rather heavy rain and danger of lightnings. Finally, 11 competitors (30.5 %) maxed out (including one girl) and took part in the 5 min. fly-off. Still 4 entered into the 7 min fly-off in decreasing wind, where nobody maxed and rather close results decided the places on the podium. No teams maxed out, so the total times decided the medal places.

The F1B day was similar having the forenoon rounds in calm conditions and low wind in the afternoon. There was no delay, no need to extend the breaks. The “regular” front passed the field in the break between the 7th round and the 1st fly-off, so all rounds happened according the schedule. In the first round the longer maximum was reached by 18 from 29 competitors. The number of maxes increased in the consequent rounds up to 25 in round 4. The total ratio of maxes was 156 (76.8 %) in 203 flights. The 5 min fly-off was flown with 8 participants (27.6 %) 2 in low wind and only 2 stepped further to the calm 7 min fly-off where no one maxed, the French competitor was about three seconds late to fly, therefore no time was registered for him. The team positions were changing round by round, because no team had full score while the winning team lost only one second in the first round.

The F1P contest started again in calm conditions which lasted throughout the four forenoon rounds. The maximum number of maxes was 8 in rounds 1, 3 and 5. Later in low to medium wind all but one competitor missed at least one or more maxes, therefore fly-off was not necessary. The total ratio of maxes was 46 (59,7 %) in 77 flights. The break was extended between the 6th and 7th round because of retrieving problems (several models were flown over a channel). The team positions were clear already after the fourth round. The low participation shows, the F1P class is not spreading as it was expected. The winning model had the highest climb and best transition. In several cases the allowed engine running time was not used because of setting problems. The “usual” front didn’t arrived that day.
