A Truly great weekend of racing!! Practice on Satterday afternoon was in perfict conditions!
SRL and I had more than exciting laps practicing the course. It was Magic to fire up the methonol burners after such a long break !! And both my planes got a good work out.
SRL had an old race plane allong for the day and managed to get it to repeatedly do things that a Q-500 really cant be made to do.?? Still not sure how does it but he did???
Manny thanks to the Gentlemen from Pitt Town for the use of their field and their impecable hospitiality!!
Congratulations to Wingtipper who flew his invictus at a blinding pace in EF1 class, blitzing the competition and getting some points on the board in round two of the championships.
From memory, Mr Micky T wone FFC class, tho' there was libberal Rubarbing over his choice of lipos, it was certainly the superb calling and gunn flying that won the day rather than the touted extra few mAh.
Jag took out F-400 by some margin with a close battle for second and third fought out between Pistol Pete and Tony H.
Q-500 went to the indomitable Tony J, with Scooter (AKA Dr Le bronne) taking second and 3rd went to yours truly.
Every one who flew was a winner.......What a day...............Looking forward to the Willows Cup and the beyond that the next round at Nowra.
Go hard, trun left and don't crash!!
See you there !!
