German Open takeoff area

Takeoff area on a 48m wide an 2625m long concrete runway:



Some of what Corrinna wrote in her blog (thanks to Dave):


After two race to goal flights away from the launch area the
strong west wind quit finally and permitted a closed course task on Thursday and
Friday. The tasks were both , 77 km triangles with start and a goal at the
airfield.


It is Really amazingly, how quickly the sandy soil in the Flaeming dries out and
even after after a night of rain we get again beautiful cumulus clouds.


On both days I flew for a long time with Lukas Bader, Lukas Etz, Gerald Woll and
Hans Kiefinger. Together we achieved good speed. It did irritate me though that
Han's would circle up into the clouds in his last circles.


On the last day a front came through and opened up a small window for the last
task. Fortunately the towing enterprise has been run so professionally that the
field was in the air within one hour.


Unfortunately no one made it into the goal in the flex class, since we were
caught west of the shading at the last turnpoint 15 km from the airfield.
Nevertheless, 2nd place for the task was my best result for the meet.


At the end Steffen Hertling won the German open, Hans Kiefinger became 2., Lukas
Bader 3., Oli 4. And I 5.!


TC continued to feel that the first task was not actually really very fair and
should have been cancelled.


The organizers had numerous problems towing the forty four pilots with only five
tow pilots. On this day the launch went on forever. Some pilots landed and again
were towed. Others, for example, Andrea Hetzel, did not launch before the rain
front.


Together with some pilots we submitted a complaint, which was unfortunately not
agreed to by Harry Buntz, since sufficient launch time was provided for each
pilot. Now, while the first towed pilots landed in the goal, the latter landed
in the rain.


Without counting this first task Andrea and I would have been in third place,
Lukas Bader the German open would have won!!!  One cannot have always luck.


Next time I will consult with Gerolf, as he writes complaints so well.


The first towing  championship in Germany was nevertheless a full success
at a promising area. Now I understand how Claus Gerhard could fly from here to
Bremen. Special thanks at Juergen Ruedinger, who always dropped us (Monique and
I) in good lift.
