Odessa WC, US team stories
It's all over now. It is Saturday and the last flyoff was this morning. Here's a few stories and things that I remember that I'll write down while it is still fresh. First a disclaimer - this is mostly US team stories from my own personal perspective. Other teams are just as deserving, but they will have to do their own writing. This is mainly for the benefit of US friends at home who have anxiously been awaiting news.

This may have been one of the most difficult WC ever in terms of challenging weather and flying conditions, but the very best guys rose to the top. All of this year's individual world champs are repeat winners, having won the WC previously, and the F1C flyoff this morning was between two previous WCs, Babenko and Kanegawa. Babenko won flying his folder vs Kanegawa's more conventional model. There was a breeze at 6am, but timers saw both to the ground with Babenko doing about 9 and a half minutes and the Japanese pilot a little over a minute behind. Oleg Kulakovsky won F1B and Per Findahl won F1A in a 19 man flyoff going for 10 minutes at 8:15pm last night. Last night's flyoff was held in beautiful conditions, the best we have seen in two weeks here which was a really nice way to finish the contest. F1C got the best flying weather of the contest yesterday with breezes only about 10mph. 28 made it to the flyoff, with only one American, Dick "Fast Richard" Mathis. They had the 5 minute flyoff at 7:45pm and most of them made it including FR. Then the F1A 10 minute round at 8:15. Per Findahl sprinted way upwind from the start. He launched towards the end of the round and did about 5min 41sec as I remember. All the others were stacked up just seconds behind. The F1C guys went for 7 minutes at 8:45pm and only two made it, Babenko and Kanegawa. Fast Richard put up a very nice flight and looked higher than the other models around him from my position as downwind retriever, however he only did around 5 and a half minutes. Picking up the model we discovered that the prop had folder improperly over the top of the engine cowl which disrupted the glide. This was very unfortunate as estimates were that he might have done another minute or two without this problem which would have put him right at the top. Oh well.

This was simply not the year for the US team. No medals this time and only one in the flyoff, quite a contrast after Argentina. Partly just luck, partly very tough conditions, partly a very big field with 40 countries involved. The F1C boys were all looking very good yesterday until the 5th round. Although conditions were good and the models were only drifting about a mile, the direction was putting them right into a military training area with many obstacles includes trees, buildings, fake tanks, towers, walls, etc. Most flights were lucky enough to miss this stuff, but Ron McBurnet's luck ran out in the 4th round when he DTed right into the side of a concrete building. Not flyable. Something happened to his number two model, and his number 3 model missed the max in the 5th round. Bucky also missed when his model circled wide out of the air, and John Lorbecki Jr also missed this round in bad air and then his model crashed into one of these obstacles to add insult to injury. Only Fast Richard made it through this round by waiting about half an hour for just the right thermal.

Next a comment on the "weather event". The final 3 F1A rounds were completed Thursday morning in windy conditions and then we went back to the rooms to rest. When Jim Parker and I headed back to the field about 4:30pm to help the power guys test, the sky was very dark and the wind was howling and rain was starting to come down. We both commented that it felt like Kansas in the Wizard of Oz just before Dorothy's house lifts off. Turns out we were not far off. Driving onto the field we saw Fast Richard in his car with a horrified look on his face. He said there was one inch hail falling just moments before and he was worried his rental car was ruined. He said "I was scared sh**less, and I'm from Louisiana!" He couldn't get off the field fast enough. We drove by the campsite first and saw the first evidence of what had happened. Trees down, tents scattered everywhere, chairs and tables strewn around, roofing materials from the local buildings laying across the road... Henning said he was on the field and saw chairs flying by 10 meters in the air! Turns out there was an actual tornado of some sort, or maybe a micro burst. The Aussies I believe got a video of it. Reports were that winds hit 100mph.  Some poor guy had launched an F1C models 30 seconds before it hit. Reports were that it went up like crazy, only not gliding, but rather tumbling like a leaf. A poor guy from Argentina was retrieving his model when he got pelted by the hail. You know he was desparate when he used the model to shield his body, which ruined the model and he still was bady bruised anyway. Normally guys use their bodies to shield their models at all costs! Victor Stamov had a bunch of PA equipment, chairs, scoreboards, and other field equipment which was all lost. The PA speakers were huge, about 6 feet tall and could be heard kilometers downwind. The next day Victor commented "The speakers went up and I never saw them again, and unfortunately they did not have any DT!"  Heavy rain followed and needless to say the F1A flyoff that evening was cancelled. The next day the field was muddy, but as before mentioned the flying the next day was the best we had in two weeks here.

Back to Tuesday and F1A day - the US team simply had a really bad day. We were running in a just cut wheat field with 6" stubble on the ground, towing in 10 to 15mph wind, and dealing with traffic like the 405 freeway in LA. The poles were spaced only 7.5 meters apart with 100 flyers on the line. There were towlines on the ground to trip over and towlines falling from the sky over models and our towlines. I was the last to fly in the third round and as I towed up I saw a couple other models go and thought the air was OK, but I started going downwind to get into postition. I was overly concerned with guys towing on each side of me and one guy towing directly downwind of me. My helper Jim Parker said "one more circle", meaning that after one more circle I could probably move away from these guys, but I was thinking air and that I should take one more circle and launch, so I abruptly launched without getting set up right, and the result was a terrible launch and bad flight. It was all my responsibility however and I felt pretty bad. The next round I was determined to not let the other models and traffic bother me. I towed downwind into good position, waited for the air, then felt good air as a gaggle of models launched upwind of me. I setup for a great launch in just the right spot and just as the model was at it's peak of speed I heard a "whack" sound. I looked up after releasing the model and it went up for a great bunt right into the thermal. I didn't know where the sound had come from, thinking that something had happended somewhere in that group of models. As I walked back feeling pretty good about the flight everyone was looking at me in awe. Turns out I had just destroyed a Bulgarian glider. My towline went right through the other glider immediately under my model at the moment of maximum energy. There was speculation that it was a mid air collision, but my glider came back with no scratches. Mike McKeever said it was like someone took a shotgun and just blew the model out of the sky. Pieces raining down. I felt pretty bad, but everyone said that is just part of the game, although they named me "Killer Ken". Words like thrasher and ripper were also thrown around. I was told to watch my back, but later I made peace with the Bulgarians as best I could.

Round 3 was very bad for the three of us. I spent a lot of effort towing downwind but got in a line tangle before the thermal came through. Both Brian and Steve also had attempts and we were left with 15 minutes in the round and all three of us still needed to get flights in. We tried picking air on the ground to just get the models off the line in something decent, but it didn't work well and we all dropped. When my turn came around there was only one minute left in the round. Roger said there had been a small warm bump and I went straight up and off with a good launch, but the air was bad and I was down quickly. This time I felt like I did everything I could that round but it just didn't work out. After 4 rounds the three of us each had two maxes and two drops, not exactly what we had hoped for. Steve got a max in the 5th round and then suddenly the organizers announced that the round must be stopped immediately. Turns out that someone had driven their car through the middle of one of the wheat field and some angry farmers had come to Victor. We all sat around in the hot sun and wind for about an hour while the problem was worked out, but by this time the wind had gone over the 9m/s limit so the round was thrown out and the flying for the day was done. After F1B Wednesday we finally got to finish the last three rounds on Thurday, again in wind of course. This time the three of us did pretty good. I got three pretty solid maxes, all by circle towing in the wind, so I felt pretty good and could at least say I had one good day at the WC. Our only hope for the flyoff, Mike flying as WC, did not do quite so well however dropping one flight. He had done well on Tuesday, and had the flying Thursday started at 7am as planned in what was actually very nice weather, he would have certainly done great, but it wan't meant to be.

I was chasing on Wednesday when F1B was flown. These models had a very hard time with the wind blowing over the rolling hills. When they got low they would get tossed around and stall and did not glide well. They went for 4 minutes in the first round, and without thermals these models needed to glide well all the way to the ground. That first round saw a large part of the field drop including Roger and Walt. Bob Pirserchio was our only hope for the flyoff and was doing well, but then one round he got low and was sucked down between a couple hills. Just like F1A they only got in 4 rounds before the wind was so bad they had to quit. The last guy to fly in the 4th round was Roger, who put it up in a huge thermal just as the wind shifted about 90 degrees. This left us deep downwind chasers kilometers from where we needed to be so we never saw the model and didn't have a chance. Meanwhile the model was up for almost 6 minutes. Mike had a signal in the tracker before the model went down and had an idea of where to go. Meanwhile I was relying on my new GPS unit for this contest and the bearing that I received from the flightline seemed to go a different direction from where Mike wanted to go with the tracker. Since there was a real threat of local people finding this model and stealing it, I felt that our chances of getting to it quickly would be better if we split up into two teams. Alex got Blake's car along with Brian and they picked up Mike and the three of them went off in search of the model. Ron McBurnet then got in his car and came to meet John Lorbecki Jr and I for the 2nd team, only one of the Ukranian soldiers would not let him pass by a certain gate which led to the road to come pick us up. By the time John and I got to Ron's car we had lost about 15 minutes. We then drove off the field to the main road and followed the GPS unit until we were on the line of the model. At this point I got out of the car and got a signal on the radio tracker, which fortunately was on the field side of the road, and not the Black Sea side as the sea was only a couple hundred yards away and with this flight time and direction I was worried Roger may have a wet model. We followed the radio signal until it was very strong near an area of small fenced off gardens. John and I went over a barbed wire fence in the direction of the signal which was now blasting loudly. Mike then called on the team radio to see where we were. I told him we were so close we were about to step on the model and bragged about how great my GPS unit was working. So now there was a competition going on to see which team could find the model first. John and I took a left turn and decided the model was in a particular fenced off garden, and we showed a nice Ukranian lady who was working there our competitor badges which had an explanation of what we were doing. Just as she was opening the gate for us Mike, Brian, and Alex came running from the opposite direction and got to the gate at almost the same moment. At that point we were like a bunch of kids hunting for Easter eggs. The signal was so strong that it was difficult to get a direction, and all the metal fencing was complicating the matter, but we all knew we were virtually on top of the model. After about five minutes of searching the garden Brian came up the winner by putting his hands on the model first. I still claim some sort of victory for the GPS team however, because if we are given credit for that 15 minute delay in getting to Ron's car, then we have them beaten by a good margin. This was the first time I had relied extensively on GPS for chasing, and I believe that it is a real asset when dealing with tough conditions like we had here.

Finally I want to say that I thought the organizers did a great job of controlling what they could control. The accomodations were great and it was great staying very close to the field. There was a nurse on duty 24 hours who was very good. A few people got sick and went to the medical building and were treated very well, put on special diets and medicine and were quickly feeling better. Processing went very well and the on field decisions were made about the best they could be made under the conditions. The organizers could not control the weather of course....

Overall what makes the world champs a success is the people. I always make it a goal to put more names and faces together and get to know new people which I did this year. Thanks to everyone that made this event possible.
