Both Dave (P8) and Jerzy made it home with good speeds. In 15m the winning speed was 112.9, registered by two British pilots, Timothy Scott and Leigh Wells. Dave did 99.93 kph which puts him currently in 18th place with 695 points. So far, maximum points for the day are 840 but this may change since not all scores are in. The results of six pilots are still missing but I don't see any big names there. There were 5 outlandings in the 15m Class.
With 145 points behind the winner of the day, I expect Dave's overall score to improve but it is too early to tell. However, we know for sure that Dave finished ahead of the US pilots Gary Ittner and Karl Stiedieck.
In 18m the winner Olivier Darroze (France) achieved a speed of 121.15 kph. Jerzy's speed was an excellent 115.03 kph which currently puts him in 9th place and only 43 (!!!) points behind the winner. This may change as scores are still coming in and at least one big name (Wolfgang Janowitsch) has not been scored yet. So keep watching the score board as things are unfolding. I expect Jerzy to improve in the overall results for 18m.

Congratulations again for our guys!!
They are flying very well and making us proud. I think both Jerzy and Dave are also first in the "solo" team category, that is, teams with only one pilot in each class. I have read the German web site and their commentators get very upset when one of their pilots is separated from their fellow class pilots. No such luxury for our pilots.
Keep up the good flying!
