German Team Site

Everybody was waiting it. Finally German F3B Team has shown its homepage. Amazing Team to enjoy seeing how works in the field and the worst nightmare in every slot you have to beat them.
Are we going to live a new exhibition of Herrig Bros.? Which plane will be the Star of the competition? Is Germany going to hold Team Championship? I will not be there :-( but I hope to follow by WWW :-)

New Toys for 2009

In spite the weather forcast we have gone to the field... Today Dani and Carles had to make their first flights with winch of their Radicals and Freestylers. We didn't have best conditions but we have felt the potential of both planes. I foretell good results for them.

Gone with the wind...

I have met with my pals this morning to try out their new "Toys". But it looks a rare intense wind don't want to allow. The wind is so strong...

Tangamania

Stefan Böhlen has published a site about new toy of Bretamodel: Tanga. You can set your personal colour scheme. Maybe we will meet a Tanga Team in future Eurotour Contets...

First Contests of the year

It seems this year f3b guys are cheerful, in France has begun the registration for their contest, and there is a waiting list of 19 pilots for first contest of the year in Eurotour in Salzburg aside the 70 pilots already registered, this year in Spain seems we are not going to have more than one contest so this year we'll have to make lot of kilometers... :-)

First flights of 2009

Very bad start of Season :-( I hadlot of problems to make good launches with New Age and my Caracho is still death after a lost of control in its second launch, so now I just have one plane in good conditions for whole season, my dream of go to Kircheim and Munich this year is vanishing :-( Best of the day... see my friends and specially Walter Reist (I haven't met with him for a lot of months). I try to fly again in two weeks to improve the launch of my loyal Newie.

But not everything have been bad news, I have had in my hands a Radical... what an amazing fuse guys! I hope Dani, the owner, will have lot of successes with him.

I have posted some photos, click here to see them.

Schizo

Daryl Perkins, Lord of the F3B's WC, was developing a F3B model called Schizo, some days ago I e-mailed him asking for it. He responded very soon and sent me some photos, here is the answer (very interesting opinion about the new trends in f3b planes):

"... did build and sell a few. It was a pretty amazing model, but fit and finish was a bit lacking compared to the models of today, and even though it was crazy fast, and stiffer than any model I've ever seen (I could sit on the center panel).... guys were not happy. I ended up selling the molds to a guy in the NorthEast.

Kyle Paulson flew it in all the local F3F events and went undefeated with it. He loved it. It's VERY fast. Fastest model I've ever seen. It had some launch and spiral stability issues, and Tony Johnson, the guy who bought it, is adding some dihedral to the center panel, and making a cross tail for it. That will really make it a great model.

I still don't agree with the direction the newer F3B models have taken with regards to size. They're giving up so much in launch. While they have done amazing things cleaning them up since I was successful (the sections, the smaller cleaner fuses, etc...), I think over the next few years, you'll see the models get larger again in an effort to get some of the launch back..."

Next year will be on production his last design, a f3j model, Stalker 3.9
