F3B USA Team Practice

It seems our American friends are working hard to be in good shape for China...

Ironworks Trophy 2011

I haven't found any report about Ironworks Trophy either I found a video :-P

Is Graupner going to interview German F3B Team?

F3B Shop

I have opened a new section: F3B Shop. I will try to post every week a good f3b offer: planes, winches, radios,... whatever could interest you ;-)

Troféu F3B APSIA 2011

Results and report about F3B World Cup contest made in Portugal with Spanish, German and Portuguese pilots.

F3B under Sun

A very very hot Sunday, lot of duration flights. I help to my father to train Task C. I hope next flights will be made with his Extasys :-P

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.

German Team Site

German site under construction... 10 teams registered now for WC.... who else?

Kamisato Cup

Japanesse friends have had a very special competitor: Joe Wurts.

We go to Mörsburgcup!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Some videos

Some videos from contests in UK and France

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
