Martin Weberschock philosophy

Maybe Martin Weberschock has the most original offer for "f3b buyers". The way he manages his Europhia's master forms is not very common. You can rent the master forms to make your own molds. Martin makes seminars to explain how to make your own Europhia with special prices for young people. Firms like Tun Modellbau or StratAir commercialize an Europhia not made by MW taking adventage of this system. Everything is made to make f3b more accesible for everybody. Bravo Martin! Here a report from RC-Network Modellbau Magazin about Martin and his seminars (in german)

Joe Wurts, the showman

In F3J Brazil site I have downloaded a video of Joe Wurts making some handlaunching and thermal flight with an Icon. There's just one JW. In Finland I saw him how he made two tasks C with just one launch. He tried to make a third speed flight but finally he gave up because he couldn't get enough altitude He is a showman!!!

First flights with Europhia

Another windy day, so I just made few flights with my new plane. CG 112 mm and towhook 111 mm. The settings "says" CG and towhook 114 mm (I prefered to begin with some "quite" settings). We had a lot of time 90º crossed strong wind so the conditions were very hard. In first flights I feel that I have to remove some plumb from the nose. After I put some ballast (2 pieces of 150 grms.) to make three distance flights. I have made two modifications in my Europhia. I have changed the default conectors from the fuse to the wind (I have put multiplex green ones) and also I have set a towhook from my old Mistral (FVK) because Europhia includes a one position towhook :-( Here some photo's
