Thanks guys for congratulation, Tania thanks for photos and especially coaching ... I promise I will learn trianges better next time :- ))) ... and also thanks judges roasted from all sides :- ))) ... I really do not know how they survived all days here ... especialy when we (pilots) did not want tents close to circles
Yes that model belongs to Czech flyer Pavel Benes. It is basically Max with modified fuselage, the same as models of Zbynek Kravcik, and Alex Schrek. Richie had also the same just wing was little swept forward, but he say that usual Max flies better especially in wind, so he was disapoinded after crash of his Max. Fortunately we did not have windy day during ECh, so it was not so bad for him and I saw the made it flying very well. Alex had also backup model, but it was the same model placed 2nd in Pazardzhik, so it was not big handicap. Jiri Vejmola had his very old blue model of his construction.
Condition were fair (fair between contestants, not fair to our bodies :-P ) ... light wind with light turbullence at noon on grass field with surface litle better han that in Pazardzhik. Those who were there WCh 2010 know. Except few crashes all was good. I personally saw 2 crashes, one was due to failure in fuselage construction of ne model of Alex and Richie crashed in loops in calm wind with little side vind due to lost line tension. I had also litle technical problems because of free ESC rouing in fuselage during flight, what made minor CG movemend so I saw "something wrong" but I needed several flights to find eason. Afterward was all OK.
And yes, we flew also Gee Bee of Tania. It was outside in little wind, but that wind was enough to stop model from climbing, but soon I found it is still flyable on upwind side of circle. It was very dificult to some flyers to do loops with such slow model on upwind side, but son most of them learned it ... especialy those two from Netherlands :- )))))) ... looks like they understand wind very well :- ))))))) ... and yes, that pretty lady explaining Gee Bee on those pictures is Tania :- )))
