Final results from FAI F4B Scale World Championships in Ploiesti, Romania. Team USA takes 1st place. Pete Bauer (Britten-Norman Islander) 1st place, Mike McHenry (Piper L4 Grasshopper) 5th place, and Allen Goff (Nieuport 17) 6th place. Time for a beer. I will be able to start posting pictures some time tomorrow.

CONGRATS!!! Great job by Team USA, as well as the rest of the world's teams in a darned tough endeavor. Hey Peter, make time for a 2nd beer too, 010! you earned it!
Question on scoring: for Static, are the scores pro-rated? In other words, does high static automatically get "1000" with the other scores then proportioned from that? 4 x 1000 point flights also looks pretty intimidating!

Peter,
A great team effort. As for pics there are a few on the sight but obviously no one cared to understand some fliers might like to see all the OTHER aircraft. Has no one been able to take a few OTHER pics. When I went to Kiev in 1982 I took 720 slides And still ran out of film I purchased 3 more rolls in Kiev to finish. I was able to actually drive around the airfield on google maps, street view. It looked nice there. A little more time spent taking pics of OTHER aircraft would have been greatly appreciated. However congratulation on your 1st place placing.

In the F4 Scale events, both static and flight scores are "normalized" (proportioned), with the highest static normalized to 1000 and the highest flight each round normalized to 1000.
My raw static was 1216 out of 1500 which was normalized to 980 (3rd best)
Flight #1 was 2591 out of 3000 (highest flight in round) which was normalized to 1000.
Flight #2 was 2732 out of 3000 (highest flight in round) which was normalized to 1000.
Flight #3 was 2822 out of 3000 (highest flight in round) which was normalized to 1000.
Everyone flew better in the later rounds as we watched eachother and learned how to make a better presentation for the judges.
