F3P-UK 11th-12th December

Quick update

Mark is currently lying 2nd after the first round

Well cool hope he can maintain that form

Nice one!

round 2 touched the floor 0 for that

blown 2 rounds mow 6

"HOWEVER" He's lying 3rd overall in the freestyle

Oh not so good 6th, but 3rd is still a decent position on the free-style

Wish him all the best but tell him to stop farting about and concentrate!

WOW!!! What an Awsome weekend!

Thanks Rich for keeping everyone in the loop!

Brief tale of how I did, I' give more details later when im not so knackard

Shedule - Went into the last round in a 3 way battle for the title. Myself, Shaid (Bango) and Daniel I was last to fly with 4 ish points betwen us all. both the others made small mistakes so it was there for the taking just needed to match my round 3 score, Result Wisper stuck in the beams big fat 0 I belive I finished 6th overall gutted!

Freestyle- Really pleased with myself flying against the best indoor flyiers in the contry and arguably 3 of the top 5 in the world I was sitting 4th going into the final round with a huge trick to finish that would have brought the house down. Result stuck in the beams with the time running down (3 min routine) took to long to get it out round over, scored average. went for big trick anyway after and NAILED IT! Vid to come hopfully.

Syncro- Desided in the pub on saturday night after a few to many that it would be a good idea to enter a united nations team in syncro of myself (wales) Ollie Witt (England) Simon McNeail ( Irleand) Chris Currie (Scotland) Yep 4 planes in syncro, we planed 5 moves but the flight was 3 and a half mins long so a fair bit of winging it went on but we came away with a tie for 3rd and the guys kindly let me keep the trophy as it was my idea! Really was a good crack!

Demo Flights- had a great set of flights on Saturday demoing the Angel Wings Designs Afriel Evo with Ollie and Andy Whitehead really enjoyed this.

Other- Came away with the prize for best non airbrushed colour scheme on the Wisper, with the ingenious ballon cover scheme, all very tounge in cheek but shows what a light harted comp it is.

Loads and loads of vids and pics to follow but i must thank, Rich Andy and Robert for all there help in getting me ready for this comp just sorry i didnt bring home all the glory guys!
