Clear calm morning today - this allowed the remaining 14 competiotors in group 3 to complete the Uknown 2 program. The contest then had a break at 2 hours to allow processing of results and to prepare the jury for the 3nd program looks to be significantly more complex than Unknown 2 - a few Group 3 pilots were found in the foetal position emittiong a high pitched whine following the first walkthrough! Group 2 were first to fly and made it look much easier. As afternoon passed into evening all of the Group 1 competiors flew - with the exception of Alexandre Panfierov who had a canopy hinge snag on the Swift. Just a quick note to clarify - Viagra is design philosophy employed to make a large version of a small aeroplane!
