Forbes Pre-Worlds 2012 HG Comp

Matt Olive who was flying the Airborne Tug at the Forbes Pre-Worlds and took this iPhone video of Rohan Holtkamp's speech at the presentation. Rohan along with Scott Barrett and Adam Stevens all on the latest Rev 13.5's flew brilliantly and proved the Rev's performance is right up there. They placed a respectable 1st, 3rd and 4th. Cameron Tunbridge on the Rev 14.5 flew also flew well and was in the top 10 for a good part of the comp, in his day result's he placed a 9th, 10th and 11th placing 20th overall. Phil Schroder on the 13.5 got a 7th on day 4 placing 31 overall. Andrew Luton made a couple of goals but look's like he did not fly first two rounds. Peter Dall on the 14.5 pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the final round, made goal and claimed 4th position for the day, well done Pete! The comp had 97 pilots with 8 rounds. 4 rounds were over 160km's (100 miles) the shortest task was 128km's and the longest at 217km's. All up there were 13 pilot's flying Airborne in the comp, excluding Davis Straub who was unfortunately out from a shoulder injury. Congratulations to the team that's Airborne!
