FLARM in Stealth Mode at US 15M/Standard Nationals - Loved It!

I flew Montegue and loved it. Rex and Nowelle did a great job. If you haven't flown there go at the next opportunity!

There are several reasons why the numerical analysis presented has limited usefulness. I'll just mention two:

1) I don't believe most people last year at Montegue were using a complete FLARM view type set up. I flew the contest with FLARM (through ClearNav) as anti-collision only. This year many more pilots were outfitted with the whole set up.

2) The weather at Harris Hill was much more fickle and unforgiving than Montegue, no comparison. 7 or even 8 days were flyable but each had significant challenges that tripped up even the locals. The guys I would have picked to win all had problems, sometimes on the first leg. On Day 6 in 15m 14/21 pilots landed out on the first leg. Others chose well and scored big. This really blew the rankings out of the water but that was the reality of the weather that day.

Great time at both contests,
