Well Done Mark!!

Well done Mr..

Nice one Mark and well done.

Well done!

Thanks, Guys.

Yep I managed to retain my Freestyle title this time joined on the podium by Nando te Riele from Holland (he won aero musical with 2 stunning flights) and David Duval From France who was also epic in his flying.

Also finished 3rd in Team Freestyle with ma boys Simon McNeil, Matty Poots, Mark Taylor and Steven Gerrard. Behind "Pigs in Space" the syncro team from Holland, and "Team Extreme" Paul Williams and young Josh James (14)

Pylon was a bit of a joke as i didn't finish my model in time for the comp so used the hover bug (as the rules never stated it had to fly) Simon McNeil Won this

Aero musical I didn't fly and Im glad as some of the flying was out of this world, As said Nando won this with 2 stunning flights, I was really pleased for him as I thought he was unlucky not to win in 2011. David Duval and Derk Van Der Vetch joined him on the podium

Schedules, once again for the 5th year in a row I had a mare, Round one no power on up lines, put it down to a dud lipo, Round 2 no power again so not lipos, Changed prop in round 3 for more pitch and was like a rocket so it was prop.

Spent a few rounds playing with curves to tame it, Hybrid Hybrid was flying really well but one thing I had not counted on was just how hard it would be to see, every up line at the far end of the hall it just disappeared, so one or two marks dropped here and there in a really tight class showed. after having to carry through a bad round from Saturday I ended up 7th in class or Dead last if you prefer lol

Best Demos, Derks 6min AM is always good but this year Steven Gerrard stole the show with his 450 size heli, Thunder Tiger Titan FBL. stunning in a hall with a BMFA breathing down his neck. Only filmed him Saturday early doors but by his last on Sunday he got to grips with the space availible and stunned the very busy crowed with some very aggressive but Controlled 3D flying to music.

All in all a great weekend, good laugh with the uk boys and the foreign guys.
