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.
