Round 2 NZ League at Matamata‏

Seems NZ has made a good hire with Joe Wurst :-P... Read in nzrcsg@yahoogroups.com:

Hi all,

A great weekend was had a Matamata flying round 2 of the F3B series.

A slow day on Saturday getting thru 2 rounds was finished off relaxing at the field at the end of the day.
Fasted speed time for Saturday was a 15.52sec Round 2 run from Joe. David & Richard did personal best times of 18.76 & 18.37 respectively in Round 1.

Sunday saw a contrast from Saturday with light and variable winds. Another 2 rounds flown and finishing around 2:30 giving us good time to pack up and relax before heading off home.

Las trainings before Kirchheim

Tomorrow will make a speed training with signal system and everything so yesterday I went to Pla de Vent to adjust my Speed and Start 2 settings in my Altus with good results. Tomorrow will be my last flights with Altus because I have to spend next weekend to prepare my dad's Crossfire that will be my second Plane. Ups...!!!! And I received my order from EMC-Vega 1200 meters of orange 1.22 mm. Very cool!!!!!!!!!!
