First day completed, Fitz 1070, Orestes 1042, Rich 988, Barry 957

Keep in mind this is just the first U.S flyer scores of many rounds and some of these flights were made on differant circles with differant judges. I will post more when the reports appear

We will not know how things are untill they are about 3 days into the contest

Looks like Orestes is at 1042, not the 1072 I was told last night

More later

Is Orestes leading the field? or the American Contingent? Anyone know where the scores are posted on the net?

Dan McEntee · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2010, 01:12:37 AM »

Can someone just give a quick over view of what the program is? How many flights per day, any throw away rounds, etc.I know the format is different than what we fly, and some may not know that and be interested, like me!
Thanks a lot,

From looking at the first round scores It seems that Ryan is 3rd among the juniors. But I can only make out the names
(barely!) and only one junior is in the top 15 so far. But remember It's only the first round. The top three among the seniors are 1. R.KORNMEIER , David Fitz And Igor Burger. The other two juniors in front of Ryan are 1.A.GAUTHIER (14th overall) 2. Oki Minato

Hi

There will be 4 qualifying flights, 2 will be used (best 1 flight from each round)to place the flyers in rankings for the top to compete in the finals, semi finals.
Then it is a new contest, for 2 days the finals will be flown with only those pilots who were at the top, I think they will take 15 or 20 pilots

At 2004 WC, it was top 15 with 16th flying the warmup. I remember that because I thought Bob Hunt was going to fly warmup(with the handle held the right way

) as he did on day 1 but it was Eugene(can't remember his last name) of Russia that flew the warmup for final 15.

NO you will have to wait untill all flyers get to fly in front of all judging groups on both circles...this is like 2 entire differant contest added together.
After the pilots get to fly before both judging sets we will only then know how things are shaping up

Sorry, I didn't mean he was leading the contest overall, I thought he was leading the preliminaries among the Americans. I realize they have a long way to go.

By the way, I am very interested in the big red plane, one of the Chinese team members is using. Attached is a picture. The Chinese are packing some sweet Golden Knight Saito’s.

Hi Milton

I also had posted wrong that Orestes was 1072 instead of his real score of 1042, David has high score among the US pilots, Richard Kornmeier has the overall his score..so far..of 1074.. but keep in mind they are on differant circles.

Richard Kornmeier , Igor Burger, Andry Yatsenko, Han Xinping are just some of the excellent pilots that will be tough competition, along with the Japanese pilots and the rest of the Chinese team.. I just wished I was there giving what help I could :-)

There are 80 pilots flying, we will know a little more after the 2nd round is finished, but we really will not know anything untill the 4th and final round is over since they will add score over days of flying.

The new picture that is posted above by Shultzie is readable , much better than the one I saw before, you can see how the score are going from it. But it is 2 circles posted onto 1 sheet so it really does not tell us much so far

Randy,
Since I saw my first picture of a foreign stunt plane-Josef Grabis's "Super Master", many years ago, I have been, and continue to be, fascinated by foreign stunt ships. There always seems to be something "exotic" about either, the looks or the equipment.

This "air" of mystery about them remains with me even until this day. We know what WE do. But, what is it that THEY do! Quite possibly, the very strong pull I had, to get with the 4 strokes so early was because, of their "foreign" and hence, "exotic" orientation; I HAD to get inside the "overseas” thing.

Check it out, the Chinese are not just using Saito’s, man-they are using Golden Knight Saitos. I mean-they are rolling with the pimped out powerplants. One thing I know for sure, while the rest of the World always seemed to using different equipment than us, they sure are having a hell-of-a lot of fun!!

Wow. This must be a different contest than I have ever been to in the past. They rarely smile, and I never hardley hear them even talk. They have never impressed me that they were having FUN. It was more like they were working a job....That they had to do....Like it was their living, or something like that!

Now, the Brazilians, they party!

Proparc,

Well, for me it's more that there are clearly a lot of ways to go about this than just the one we use. I've never seen how other countries do things is superior in any way. Just different and it's interesting.

Personally, I'm a big proponent of what works. If I do something and it works for me, I try not to break it.

Superior or inferior was not implied in my post. I think we may have most of the wins,(not sure). Just different, exotic,mysterious and for me, VERY interesting. I can tell you for sure, that my involvement with 4 strokes came about DIRECTLY, as a result of the work of Luciano Compostello.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #36 on:** July 28, 2010, 05:14:36 PM »

There's a contest in this area every year held by a sports radio station (NCAA basketball brackets thing). The grand prize for the winner is that you get to attend any sports event on the planet all expenses paid. One of the conditions is, you have to tell they what you want to attend when you enter. The guy that won last year went to a Formula One race in Australia. Anyway, when I entered this year, I said I wanted to attend the World Control Line Championship in Hungary. I got a very funny email back from the host of the show that sponsors this thing asking what that was. I sent a complete description along with some photos.

Obviously, I didn't win (and my bracket was pathetic), but I just got an email today for the guy asking for more information about control line flying. They may decide to cover a local event as part of a series they are going to do about local sporting events. How cool is that?

Bill flew very well but for some reasons the judges just did not buy what he was doing. I think that he deserves to be in the top 15 but here my opinion does not matter. I feel very lucky to have made the cut myself. I would have to say this is the hardest contest I have ever flown in. There are MANY great flyers here and it may not sound like it but Bill's placing is very respectable. It is an honor just to be here.

Ryan is doing very well right now and after the first two flights of finals he is in the lead for the Junior WC. All he needs is another strong flight tomorrow and he will win. We are all very proud of him, he is flying his back up plane that he had never flow before we got here. That in it's self says a lot about his skill.

The wind was terrible today with 15-20 mph winds blowing through big tents and over the tabulation booth. The wind did not let up until the end of the last round. They have not been posting scores so it is hard to tell where everyone stands.

I guess we will all know tomorrow who the two new champions are!

I have had a great time here in Hungary but I will be glad to be back home.
