Your funniest (weirdest, craziest,…) moment as a F3B pilot?

Going right when my teammates directed me left at the 2023 Denmark F3B WC. I even nearly obstructed sighting pole officials by continuing my trend with my mind being elsewhere. Funny moment for the team and my blonde self.

Also, being sprung by Jurgen Polzl during the 2023 Denmark WC at 11pm whilst the sun was setting outside the hotel polishing my gliders while having a beer. During the competition every time I gave my models a clean, I would have Jurgen, Bernhard or Michelle voice that they think my gliders are clean enough. I did offer to clean their gliders if need be.

What is the most important thing a F3B rookie should know?

Glider setup for winch launching.

Hobbies

F3F and Surfing, although surfing has been put on hold as I am loving flying gliders too much.

Personal Motto

Height is might! Light can be might too!!
