Turin, WAG 2009 test event. (Update 06 14)

Thursday, 12 June 2008

I have wonderfull news, this weekend Lithuania team visit very interesting competition in Italy, Turin, it was test event for famous Worl Air Games in 2009 year. FAI promoting 3 new class, F6A (Artistic Aerobatic) F6B (Aeromusicals) and F6D (Hand throw gliders) all these categories will be included in Worl Air Games.

F6A, Artistic Aerobatic;

Sad but this time Artistic aerobatic class atract not so much pilots, totaly there was 6 participants in F6A, organizers told Sebastiano did not prepare routine because of bad weather beffore competition and bussy work schedule, Alberto had problems with his plane. Anyway small number of participants did not mean competition will b e easy, there was few some top 3m plane pilots, Gernot Bruckmann, Filippo Materazzi, Massimo Selva.

As Artistic aerobatic rules say plane must be not bigger than 2x2m and not heavier than 5kg,its quite hard to reach such results, keeping good power for powerfull 4min routine. Masimo and Filippo flew Sebart 140 Funtanas, both electric powered, Gernot had new good looking Sukhoy 140 also from SebArt. I flew Extreme Flight RC , 58inch Extra 300, naturally it is to small plane for Artistic Aerobatic competition but with good weather conditions, it was competetive to 2m planes. Affter interesting fight with some best world pilots i was able to win competition, pictures and videos are much better than thousand words, so please enjoy;)

Filippo SebArt Funtana.

Simply sick movements!

Only one Graupner 8811 servo on pull-pull system is more than enough for elevator.

Massimo impressive special FX's on his plane.

Quick field update on my Extra;)

F6B Aeromusicals.

Its quite strange to fly indoor when we have fantastic weather outside, but it was organizers idea to test all WAG classes in action. Few thing were different compared to other selection competitions i visit this indoor season. Main difference was pilot position, all pilots stand infront of judges and spectators, probably this give good chance to look at pilot face durring flight.

I must say hall is very good for such top event, average size in lenght and width with very hi ceiling, give allot of space for any routine.

All pilots except Filippo (Vortex) ussed monoplans, Fabien flew Donuts models Yak, Gernot his profiled wing Yak55, Marco flew not typical am plane Mercury, i ussed Sultimate, and Gyula flew his own designed plane. I must say this young guy improove allot from last F6B Mons competition!

Conclusion;

Speeking for all Lithuania team, i can say this was one of the best (if not the best) competitions we ever visit, very helpfull organizers, nice athmosphere and allot of flying, what else you can expect? Naturally sad that contest atract not so much participants (specialy in Artistic Aerobatic class) as we expect, but we hope it will improve till next year. July 31 day will be decided how many pilots will be invited to main event. Total there is 10 airsports, and over 25 events, this promisse very interesting event.
