37 Pilots in F2D and 3 of them female. One female pilot took the first price and made a long nose to all men.

Before we went to this competition Monique and I had practiced only 2 times. Then the foot and mouth decease made it impossible to find a place in Holland to practice. Monique and I were really badly prepared and didn't expect too much from this competition. Well in my case my fear for a bad result became reality. Even one of my wins was doubtful (my opinion).

There were 4 juniors and sadly they were out of the competition after 2 rounds. The 3 German juniors were flying much better than last year but were just unlucky. Combat is very hard then. You know that you fly much better, have good equipment and still have no result. 

Pilots should wear helmets but a model is not always interested in heads. 
Jelinek (CZE) was hit by the model of his opponent.
He is either small shaped or wearing it on the right place.

Some need all the luxury they can get

As always things happen that never happened before. At a certain moment Gunter Staffel was flying against Linas Peckis. Linas actually had to fly Rudi Konigshofer but came a little too early in the circle. Jiri Vaclavek who axially had to fly Gunter was also with his models in the circle so we had 3 teams preparing for 1 flight. Jiri didn't understand the situation and decided to leave the circle. So the wrong pilots flew each other.

This how a WAK conrod can look
I do my best to make nice radii, no sharp edges.
 

Monique was happy she won but she was not so happy with her flying. 
Well the rest must have been sleeping more was her conclusion.
