GBR/CAA F3P Round One

Well I had a cracking day to, It was the first GBA/CAA F3P comp in a cracking venue just outside Pontyfract.

In a very tough fought battle in my Class (after 3 rounds 3 of us had wins) I came home with a 3rd after 5 rounds so quite pleased.

Below are some shots of the day.

Venue was very good. only prob was in the morning there was a few hot women working out behind the glass you can see, which resulted is some messed up right box moves lol

M

So hot they were causing thermals hey

LOL yeah,

On a serious note, today was the best shedule flights Ive done in the 3/4 years Ive been doing this, but Im really struggling with consistency heck round four was nearly all zeros as I put the wrong rudder in and crossed the safety line lol so only one think for it more practice!

mug shot

NIce one Barnes. Is that a split rudder I see in one of them photos?!

Andy

Yeah, split rudder, Matt didn't fly it though he used another model so no idea how effective it is. Very cool though non the less
