Last weekend, ( 03 24-25) in Mannheim was held German F3P championship. Today it is probably best/highest level indoor competition in Europe, selected top pilots from Germany, Czech, Austria and Holland came in for title of best 2007 indoor pilot. From videos we have, i must say that was super competition and great show for spectators, some AM flights are truly amazing! Just hope next year Lithuania team will join this competition.

One of the greatest indoor competition in world coming up. Contest is organized by Flyinggiants.com and TNT Landing Gear company. ETOC 2007 already 4th time will be held in Toledo, Ohio on April 14-15. ETOC started life in 2003 as a freestyle contest only, but last year organizers change it and introduce all new format for indoor competitions in USA.
It was first indoor competition in USA with really hard pattern sequence. Also news was finalist selection only 10 from 25 can fly in second day in finals. This year sequence is even harder, and invite pilot list have few best indoor pilots from Europe, so once again it will be great show for spectators! For people that can't visit this contest, Flyinggiants.com give oportunity to see all action live on FG TV !!!
Finally i had some time to compress/edit some cool videos from 3D college F3P competition in Aalst. I present you my test flight with Benoit Dierickx Fusion, same plane he used in last year ETOC. I must say it is very impressive plane, with great flying characteristics. This airplane is not standart shocky type foamy we get use to see, Fusion have air foiled symmetrical wing, and Benoit unique motor setup-trust vectoring. Motor is mounted on special hinge, and with one extra servo in fuselage, can be moved to right and left, mixing this with rudder give incredibly control of rudder, and also give Benoit chance to make his special trick pirouette on wingtip. What i like most in Fusion is snap rolls, they feel so real, not like flat wing foamies make!
Little smaller Fusion is available from Donuts models.
Once again thank you Benoit! ;-)
