For any pilots interested in going to the contest, it is a very convenient site.
We fly in Humen Park, which is 5 minutes walk from the Humen Bus station. I'm not 100% sure if there are any buses direct from HK to Humen, but I know there are quite many buses from Luohu to Humen.

Had a fun contest yesturday in Humen.

Cold in the morning (long pants and fleece jacket), but by noon I had to change to a T shirt and a pair of shorts and it was still hot! Thermals were hence very strong, but very very small in diameter, especially near launch height, with massive sink everywhere that's not rising. That really helped separate the scores quite dramatically and resulted in a couple of planes landing in trees after encountering said sink.

Great day of flying, somewhat challenging conditions and had a tight race with Alex, I did not have the luxury of making mistakes at all during the whole contest.

I hope next year more HK pilots will be able to join me, Michael, and Kin to fly in SCSA contests.
Our SCSA league will be held on the 1st Sunday of every month unless there is a special reason (such as CNY in February). You do not need SCSA membership, although contests will be cheaper for SCSA members (still, even for non members it should be quite cheap).
