Arrived in Muncie on this beautiful Thursday afternoon around 2 PM.
Windy, but with beautiful blue skies and a perfect fall temperature.
About 30-40 pilots (maybe more!) already here. Bungees were the
preferred choice of transport today, with some just handlaunching to get
the hang of this whole skeg-less thing. I noticed a lot of Supras
out today, along with good number of Sharons and Icons - and a few
Espadas were spied as well.
Weather is going to be positively heinous (but par for the Muncie
course) next couple of days - winds 15-25 with a 60-70% chance of rain
Friday and Saturday, lessening on Sunday. Excellent contest weather,
though! Wet grass with an 80-point tape and 12-minute tasks will no
doubt make this a "soaring" contest and not a landing one :)
Bright and early start tomorrow @ 0830!
