Kirchheim Open 2011
Finally at home, lot of kilometers form Barcelona to Kirchheim... three amazing days again in one of the best F3B Contest in the World. 99 pilots from lot of European countries. Amazing organization so we could fly four rounds in three days.
Herrig brothers are still the referring pilots in F3B scene. Age of Radical and Freestyler 3 seems is ending and Baudis Models and Freestyler 4 are the fashioned models without forgetting Extasys. About flights... I feel every year pilots are stronger, that edition you should reach almost 25 laps and some times more than 30. Martin Herrig beat distance world record with a new score of 38 laps Yeaaahhhhh!!!!!!
First flight of the contest was Speed, and people at 8.30 already made 15.xx seconds scores. In my case my time was 22.xx :-P Personally I made my best personal scores in distance (27 seven laps) and speed (18,89 seconds). I had to flight two rounds with my green Altus because T-tail of orange ones was damaged :-( Also I made a 0 in second speed where I lost all my oportunities to get a better classification. Anyway, I'm happy and very motivated to train hard and compete again in Swiss.

Back to normal
After some weekends with lot of problems with launchs it seems I've restored good settings for my Altus :-( Today was very windy so I have to wait for a quiet day to confirm towhook position and deflections are right. Javier brought his "new" motorized Jewel making awsome flights. Dani is a tirelss pilot so he wanted to fly with us despite his injured ankle. Alberto every day is happier with his Crossi II and my father enjoyed flying his Nyx.

Training for Coll de l'Illa Contest
That afternoon I've been with my father flying in Santa Coloma slope to check our planes are ok for Sunday. We will compete in Coll de l'Illa first contest of F3F Catalonian League tomorrow. It used to be a very cold and windy slope, landing is so dangerous we flight all rounds in a row to avoid more landings. Conditions are extrem but feelings in that slope are amazing. Also amazing is the lunch after the contest. We will make a "Calçotada" as every year
My Caracho had so damaged its tips we decided to cut them so now I have a new version: Caracho 2.9 It seems is very easy to make turns with them. Tomorrow will be a good flight test :-P
I have made some photos while my father flew his V-Ultra.

Training distance task
We we're very quiet yesterday. We just could met in Pla de Vent field my father, Javier and me :-( Dani had to work, Alberto was sick and Sergi Subies was bussy in Barcelona. Fantastic weather, very sunny and good wind for launches. Megaline 1.22 still worked fantastic and I spend all day long making distance flights. Javier is very happy with his Vampire, it looks very nice an performes very well in launches. My father finally got good settings for launches with his Crossfire and brought his new toys for 2011 to make some photos: FX-30 and Extasys by Jiri Tuma.
Seniors in Action
I've planned to train next weekends to set up Altus for distance, yesterday I flew with 400 grams of ballast getting 270-280 meters launches. To be more competitive I have to ballast Altus whit more lead but anyway I think 400 grams is a good beginning.
15 weekends before Kirchheim removes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good feelings for 2011
We are very motivated for 2011 Season, so Dani, Sergi Subies and me met to Pla de Vent field to make first flights of the year. We are very motivated and very excited for that Season. We want to perform in more contests in 2011 than last year and train very hard that Winter. First step will be improve our launches and today I got my personal one: 310 meters... :-) Next weekend more flights.

A new Radical at Team
Last Sunday Portella Team (Javier, Alberto and Daniel Portella) and F3B at Home Team (Sergi Subies, my dad and me) met to make some flights, sunday was a special day, Sergi Subies made his first flights with one of his Radicalsm (I hope his girlfriend won't read that blog :-P) After lot of failed launches Sergi set ok the towhook and made some flights with a better launch of 277 meters. Maybe that was our last flights of the year but I'm tempted to fly on 25th...
