We are back again!!!!

After a shamefull performance in World Championship I made a rest about F3B. Now is time to work hard again. Looking for 2016 Calendar I went to Pla de Vent field to make some flights and check everything is ok. Sadly, we confirmed Hollenbeck winch is ko and one of my mallet colapsed after nailed turnaround... :-( I hope to make a first good training next Saturday with lot of flights ;-)

 Lot of chat and few flights...

 

 We also have a Turbulator slope in Pla de Vent

 

 4 winches but just 3 available

 

 Dani's Radical will be a Classic in few time...

 RIP... Sniff... Sniff...

F3F Club Contest

We have had some f3f flights that morning in our club contest.

Wind was so light we just achieved to make two rounds with very stressfull flights. I just thought to end 10 laps in both flights.

My dad and me were lucky and we win a lipo battery and balancer :-)

Local F3B Contest

We made a small f3b contest last Sunday (Speed and Duration tasks). I try to meet as much peoples as posible but I didn't success :-( Just 8 pilots. I hope we will be more competitors next contest on November.

We set bases and winch lines early in the morning and after first duration task wind direction changed so we have to stop and change winches and pulleys (you were right Carles... I know...)

We have very good conditions luckily and lot of us beat our PB in speed task :-) Daniel Portella and Adrian Rodríguez were very inspired making amazing Speed flights. Congratulations guys! We have time to have a nice Paella in field house. We ended contest about four o`clock win price giving ceremony and we packed all stuff later.

A big thank you to our club mates for their help. I hope November contest have a better success.

Smiles & Tears

It should be a happy day today but it has ended like on of the saddest f3b days of my live. It was first flight of the day, a relax duration flight and suddenly I lost control of my FS4 Black at 200 meters of altitude. "Fortunately" butterflies work before crash. I have to repair fuse and left wing, right one is split so I will buy a new one. At least FS4 looks promising but I think I'll fly in Kirchheim with FS4 RDS. Some potos here. I just can go ahead!

Gods didn`t want we fly that weekend...

Weather forcast for that weekend was not quite good. We anticipated very strong winds in Pla de Vent field so we have rised to Santa Coloma slope. While we drive up to slope rain has begun and increased slowly. We have just time to prepare a protection form my MC-20 and make some flights :-( Gods didn`t want we fly that weekend... :-(
