Results after
five days of flying. Billo writes:

I decided not to fly on the last day so as to be able to get the
scoring done early, but when I got down from the hill into the comp HQ there was
no power. A total blackout in Manilla, then the mobile phone system went down
too, so no internet either.

I completed the scoring to the dulcet tones of a trio of large generator sets,
but I couldn't upload the results until this morning. They are on the web now.

I forgot to give a special mention to the Kiwi contingent. A large number came
over for a trans Tasman challenge. This is great to see, and I'd like to thank
them all for showing up.

The challenge was won by the Aussies, I don't have the scores to hand as I
calculated them on the back of a beer coaster, but if anybody wants to work it
out for themselves, add the scores of the top 4 pilots from each country on each
day.

It was something like 17,000 to 14,000.

1. Jon Jnr Durand, Australia, 4037

2. Conrad Loten, NZ, 3974

3. Scott Barrett, Australia, 3763

Jonny Durand, to no one's surprise, wins the NSW Titles comp
again...for the tenth time in a row. This, despite bombing out at a mere 30K on
the third of five tasks flown and scoring only 300 points.

New Zealand's Conrad Loten came in second, after landing in the east bombout
field on the last day and, with the aid of his crew, getting back up in time to
relaunch.

Scott Barrett came in third and, being the highest placing NSW resident, becomes
the New South Wales Champion.
