Coffe Milk & F3B

I went to Pla de Vent field with my father. Field looks nice with ground plenty of grass :-) We spent most of time making duration flights. Wind was off all day long so it was very interesting to practice duration without good launches ;-) More flights next weekend. Hard trainnings will start on December to prepare Season 2013!

No wind

We had f3f club contest that morning in Santa Coloma slope, weather forecast was bad and right :-( People have tried to fly with relative success with DLG, RES, F3B, Foamies,... but out of contest :-( Some photos here.

Time for Duration

I have been in Pla de Vent field that morning with Portella family. The weather was sunny and zero wind... Very rare conditions in that field so I have been working with duration settings of my fs4 and improving my skills flying and looking thermals in low altitude . Javier was flying his new hybrid (Tempus wings and Masterpiece fuse), while Al and Dani are focused with F3K because they will participate in K Nationals next November. Some photos here.

2011 F3F Catalonian League ended

We had F3F contest last Sunday, it was the last contest of the year for Catalonian League. We had few wind and worst conditions I've ever met. We counted times with calendar instead timers (rounds were won with times of 102, 84, 80 and 83 seconds):-P I was classified in second position but it was not enough to get a place in the podium :-( My Altus has worked very well so I will go on with them in 2012.

Running with Fosa

A new visit to our secret field. I spent the whole morning to make run my Fosa. Amazing!!!!!! I've never made so fast turns :-P

I love Fosa

Sunday was my Second day flying my Fosa, I'm falling in love... That plane launches like a rocket!!! I spend second day to test distance settings with some ballast (500 grms aproach) and duration. It seems CG in 98 mm. is right.


For first time I have a plane that launches really high so now I'm not scared to use more ballast that I used :-)

Last weekend drove to Pla de Vent field with a very good new. Saturday night I won a Fosa in the F3B France Team Lotery.

Orebro Open

Few competitors in Orebro Open :-( and a very understood Joakim Stahl :-) Results here.

New winch

I have bought a second hand winch in very good conditions. Today I have made some launches with it to confirm everything was ok. So now I will have to good winches for competitions and two for trainings. Few people in the field today because a windy day :-( My father, Javier, Dani and me... we don't fail... we must fly once a week to be happy :-) Some photos here.

Yeahhhh!!!!! We're already registered to Mörsburgcup, same team that was in KO (Sergi Subias, Alberto Portella, Daniel Portella and me) and maybe my father will be there helping us...

Flying with seniors

Last weekend I couldn't met with everybody so I was flying with my senior team mates (Javier Portella and my father) on Sunday. Both are a deep source of wisdom, and I think I should obey more than I do... :-P I was testing new settings for launch that Mr. Dieter Perlick (Altus designer) gave me nicely. I like them so I'll change my two phases for launching system and I will launch with one and I will use for zoom speed mode :-O

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.

Results and my photos.

Alberto Portella photos.

Is so cute...

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.

Some photos here.

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.

My photos

I use to be the photographer of my blog so I don't use to appear in my photos. Last Sunday Jose Jurado made us some photos. Mine are those:

New planes and new mates

Last Sunday was a day with lot of news. Jose Jurado made his first flights launching with winch and Alberto brought his new Crossfire II. Ten weekends left for Kirchheim :-O
