Task 1 of the Korean League and I don't think I have ever heard so much flapping cloth or seen so many near misses, midairs and improbable recoveries in my life!
Surprisingly the carnage toll was just 1 Icepeak5 and MantraR in the trees ... I think they may still be in the trees 3 hours later :-\

The rain and strong wind this morning meant a delay in tasking until mid-afternoon. Still jet-lagged I decide not to fly though I'm sure it would have been much more comfortable in the air than watching/listening from the ground.

The only conclusions I can come up with today are:
1. This is a strong and turbulent place to fly
2. Boom 8's have a miraculous habit of recovering when the odds say they shouldn't.
3, Korean pilots have very large cojones
They start training young here!
