Ove Andersson wins again in -96 !


Vinnare -96 ! Ove Andersson, VFK (45K, JPG).



The 1996 Windmill Cup Control Line Competition was held on the 8th of June. We were very close to cancelling, due to the late withdrawal from one of the judges. However, main arranger and would-be competitor Lars Roos quickly accepted to be a judge this year, and so the competition was saved ! Five competitors this year , some of them having travelled almost 400km (250miles) by car early in the morning, to arrive on time for the morning start at 9 .00 !

Once more, the Weather Gods knew what we were up to, so: Blue skies, sunny and warm, and mild winds all through the day. All heats were held under favourable conditions, no pilot had technical problems, and not an incidence, let alone crash. (Which rarely happens to C/L stunt pilots anyway!)
