Practice day 2

As usual our day started off with a team breakfast. This time is at the nearby ramen store.

The Hongkong team and Taiwan team arrived subsequently and we head off for lunch together before going to the competition site.

Lunch was stew beef soup.

This was the volcano we have to conquer today. Its over 150meter high and a 20mins climb up.
Debus for the climb

Practice - Good winds today, it was free flight for all teams. We took turns to go up and did some practice. It was really an eye opener for us as we saw top class planes piloted by top class pilots.

View from top was magnificent. Slope heaven with so many slopes
