Weather and visibility

The wind in the rounds and the first flyoff was between 2-4 m/s. After the first flyoff the windspeed increased to 5-7 m/s. Because of the wind increasing models could start to glide on the ice so we decided to wait with the second flyoff to the next day. During the morning flyoff the wind was 1-2 m/s.

Flight line - changes of position

Not during the rounds.
The flyoff was held the morning after at another starting line.
