Gordan: Great pictures from the UK looks like you had a great turn out. Glad you and your son had some great jumps in, I will say one thing you people fly some strange planes over there.
Returned home from Walldorf , the first Rc Skydiving event in Germany this year , It was a smash ! Great weather , 80°f temps , wind 3/4 miles , clear blue sky , Perfect ! With 38 participant a well intended Contest , age variating from 5 to 74 ,newbies and old timers like my self , a nice mix and a very pleasant buns of Skydivers . The drop planes where as usual the famous OHA'S , they can take 3 divers up in one flight .
The Contest went very smooth , no hurry or worry no tree landings , no dirt dives no drop plane crash . If only all events could be like this !
The Modellflieger Club Walldorf and its members can be proud of the well organized and run event , from keeping score to the catering , thank you .

Don't worry , there are not that many contests we are going to intend this year . The most of the German events are to far in distance from where we live . The fuel prices are sky high , and rising and rising ! Who Won ? not this Guy ! 1/ Rachner Stefan ( 14 years ) 2/ Beuteman Thomas 3/ Roch Michael . 9/ Etzkorn Stefan . . 12/ This Guy . . .17/ Veasen Theo
So you see ,no Worry for Muncie Jim . TV Products has a new chute and I am test flying it on every occasion we have . This chute is with wing lets , I bring it with me to Muncie in September , so you can fly it your self .

Lundy: Is that young lady in the one picture flying the jumper that is landing in the circle, if so fantastic job. nice group of particpants and like you said they seem to be enjoying themselves. Good pictures of the event.
I love to see these kits fly much better than the old timers can , the Skydivers in to the target area . This is the generation that grow up with a joystick and computer games ! After the contest when the ziegerehrung is going on , these kids are surprised that they are ending for dad and are very happy when they are receiving a trophy for there achievements . We can only hope that they will keep the hobby going for a long time , And I think as long they are enjoying themselves they will , we have a extra classification for under 12 years for extra stimulation of these youngsters !.

Hi Bob ,
A update of my last post.
The she is a he and the chute is not his , it turns out the chute is from Rachner Alfred . The boy landed outside the zone and dad was retrieving the Skydiver !
Lundy: Thanks for the update and tell Rachner that I am glad it was him and not the boy. But I am still glad to see a young person like that particiapate in this hobby. this is what makes our hobby grow, again thanks for update.
We had a nice Rc Skydiving Sunday , again at The "Bergeijkse Modelvliegclub "in Holland . These people are so nice to inviting us every time they are having a Club Sky Diving "FUN" contest , Thanks for the hospitality you all.
This time there where 15 competitors . Alfred Rachner (Multiple German Skydiving Champion ) and his son came over from Germany having a nice Sundays Skydiving to, and having fun among friends . The atmosphere was very relaxed , no hurry for anything .
No tree landings , just a few walks in the surrounding fields , and one retrieve from the local cow population ( they were very interested in what was landing in there meadow ) The only crash was from Pieter Visser , he mis judged the landing of his OHA drop plane and demolished the landing gear and the prop .
The weather was a strange mix of sun wind and clouds 20°c , it was the last day off a very long dry spring , 38 days and not a drop off water , you can see that on the flying site every thing is dry and dusty .
Greetings to all off you , Jules
