Two in a row

My dad and me in a nice flight

Last weekend I went to fly Saturday and Sunday :-) We are working hard that Winter to improve our performs in Eurotour. Everything was ok except a bad landing of my father and a little accident with a broken line and my right hand. I spend all weekend training distance task and optimizing my launches. I've realized I lost a lot of altitude in first laps and I fly better in final laps, so I have to improve my perform in first 4 laps :-P Next weekend more flights and I don't discard to make a F3B weekend very soon :-O

New Zealand F3B Nats 2011

Joe Wurts is the champion of New Zealand F3B Nats 2011. Results in page eight.

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.

First step will be improve our launches and today I got my personal one: 310 meters... :-) Next weekend more flights.

Open Pla de Vent 2010

Sunday 31st of October met 9 pilots (including our French friends Sylvain Coulomb, Fabrice Estivals and Roland Henninot) for F3B Speed and Duration tasks Contest.

Wheather forecast all week long was very bad (rain and strong wind) but luckly rain just appeared one hour when we were setting winches, anyway very strong wind was with us all day long.

We made 6 rounds of Speed and Duration task (3 pilots for group) in a row with a short break for meal. Very early top pilots (French Team and Dani Portella) began to stand up and speed times improved all day. Best time was for Dani, 14,92 seconds (his new best personal time) but Fabrice Estivals was very steady with a final average of 16,23 seconds.

After that contest I realize I can fly speed tasks with full ballast with no fear and I have to prepare every flight before every launch to be sure about what I have to do to get best scores.

A very usefull contest to take decissions for next season and keep our friendship with our French neighbors. Personally I made some good flights but tactical mistakes in two duration tasks and a bad speed penalized me a lot. Now is time to fly, fly and fly again all Fall and Winter to prepare next season.

This week I have to fly my green Altus and Crossfire to fly in Kirchheim. All work made these months lost in two seconds... No photos today...

IV Open Internacional Catalunya F3F Eurotour 2010

Last weekend had F3F Eurotour in Santa Coloma Slope. We met thirty pilots, one of the best was with us, Alexis Marechal, he couldn't win but he made amazing flights, very tight turns in base A & B, he made his Alliaj HM never lost energy in the turns... Alexis is the perfect F3F Pilot.
I think I made my best performance in f3f competition. I was third in one of the rounds :-D In last round I flew with full ballast (980 grms) and I learnt that more ballast don't make you faster allways :-P More photos, results and reports in f3b.es and ikarusrc.com, mine are here.

But now is time to concentrate my efforts in Kirchheim :-O

Sunday, February 21, 2010

We already have 2 Caracho

I went to Santa Coloma slope yesterday and today to make last flights before F3F Eurotour Contest Saturday was very windy so I could fly with lot of ballast but Sunday wind was very low so we have been flying very quiet and making lot of landings because wind was off very often. My father has flown his Caracho, so each other have one Caracho :-D ready to fly.

Nearly I don't fly!!!

Today has begun with bad news... I've forgotten screw that hols T-Tail of my Altus!!! I've had to get used to the idea when Dani and Javier have helped me to find an alternative screw that let me fly at least some flights. And they did it!!!! Thank you very much guys!!!!

Again, the wind has changed of direction when we've finished to set the winches (I'm right with you Dani, next time we'll go to the south side of the field) so our launches has been very pour. We have been practicing duration flights, Dani with Radical, Javier with Warp, my father with Crossi and me with the best plane of the world ;-)

Dani showed us his new Altus (RDS version), now Walter is making Alberto's one and then will make mine with RDS system too.

Preparing F3F Season

Yesterday I began with my father to prepare F3F Season. In 2010 we are going to fly our Carachos 3.1, fantastic model for F3F discipline.

First contest will be on 14th February (not the best date for our wifes :-P) in "Coll de l'Illa", the most extrem slope you can imagine. We fly all rounds in a row so you just need to land one time.

My father wore Kevin Newton style glasses but I didn't feel any improve in his pilot skill.

I will post some photos later.

Walter Reist Seminar

It has been raining all day long, so we couldn't fly today :-( We have driven to Walter Reist workshop to learn how he makes our Altus,

Today has been working with Altus fuse for Dani. When he has finished we have been checking RDS system. The servo holes are small so it's a little bit dificult to install the servos (Next wings will have bigger holes)

Next plane will be for Alberto and then will come mine!!!!!!!!!
If you are looking for a nice, with good f3b skills & cheap plane (and you don't want to wait one year to get it) your choice is Altus ;-)

Altus rules

We have made last flights of the year. Wind was softer than it used to be, so we have tried to improve our launches with better or worst results. Dani has modified the position of his Radical towhook with very good results. My father and Alberto need more time to get good settings. Personally my launches are better every day. Now is time to earn some money to order a new Altus ;-)

F3F Spanish Championship 2009 Second day

We already have F3F Championship!!!!! Tomas Eklund has been steadiest pilot. Second position was for Iñaki Elizondo, he has been all competition in top positions, but penalties have avoided to get Gold medal. And third... Dani Portella, I think he had very bad luck first day of competition, today has flown with some ballast in his Altus and got good scores. First six piots flew Freestylers excepting one Altus.

At mid morning I was in 8th position (after 3rd round) but my flights and final withdraws put me in 12th. I'm happy with my performance, my V-Ultra Plus is Ok and my landings were right :-)

With this contest also, F3F Catalonian League has ended (1st Carles Aymat, 2nd Luis Mejias & 3rd Daniel Portella)

First day of competition ended. All day long with tight conditions (see times and scores). We have made two and a half rounds. Tomorrow we'll start with the second half of third round. After meal wind stopped, so we had time for chat and take photos. First positions for Freestyler pilots and local pilots. I'm 10th, I have flown as well as I was able with very soft wind :-P

F3F Training

Short training with two rounds of flights (wind didn't let fly mire), today we have met with Carles so when I was resting I made some photos of his Cyril. I hope to fly more and better on Tuesday :-P

F3F Spanish Championship

We have F3F Spanish Championship next weekend in Santa Coloma (near Barcelona). Ikarus Club is the organizer.

I would like to have better luck than other slopes events ;-) but weather hasn't helped me a lot every time I tried to fly in the slope :-(

Tomorrow and Tuesday (Free day in Spain) are last days to prepare the event.
