16th Salzburger Wanderpokalfliegen

Eurotour has started that morning. You can see the starters list here.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Trimming my Green Altus

I spend that weekend trimming my Altus. With the help of my old settings and Dani I think I will arrive to Kirchheim in good conditions. Although I have a lot of work to do in two weeks :-O Nextr trainning will be Friday afternoon.

What I do?

Yesterday In my second launch I lost the control of my Altus. It's not restorable for F3B. I fear the problem is the radio...What I do? I can use my dad's FC28 but I'm not used to it... 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...

Next sales: Altus RDS and MC24 :-P

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

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.

Some photos here.

Speed training

Javier, Dani and me have met in Pla de Vent to make some flights, we have had to wait for lower wind having a coffe in Brafim (village near the field). Today was time for speed training... we just have 6 weekends for training before Kirchheim...!!!!!!!!
