My debts

Took me some time to digest end of this F3B season, nevertheless debts should be paid. May look strange to talk about contests after more than three months, but I make notes, logs and comments from every flying day, therefore shouldn’t be so big issue for me.

Deadly hot&no wind contest. If […]

Binningen’s carnage

It’s quite long trip from Prague to Binningen, at least at Central European standards (7 hours one way). Weather forecast was a bit unsure but reality was even worse.

1.32 F3B parties

Last three F3B WorlCup contest were quite windy. We were using mostly 1.32 MegaLine. I have in mind Nardt (GER), Jesenik (CZE) and Athisnes (BEL). It’s always pleasant if you don’t have to care too much about your launch setup because you have good altitude anyhow. BTW in Athisnes we were using also 1.5ML (thanks […]

Bad weather (F3B Kirchheim and F3B Arnhem)

Looks as at last two F3B WorldCup contests we had weather bad luck. In Kirchheim we were flying only two rounds at Saturday. Sunday was canceled (low clouds, strong rain). Situation in F3B Arnhem was even worse. Not even one completed round. Boring situation for everybody. Don’t worry next time will be better (smile).
