Germany 2016 F3P championship
Already 16 times German model flying association (DMFV) call top European modellers to compete in open Germany championship called F3P Deutsche Meisterschaft. Almost all top pilots arrive to the event, total 9 countries (Germany, France, Netherlands, Czech Rep, Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria) were represented.
It was not Fai event so rules are bit different from what we see in World championships or other hi level FAI contest. Instead of final sequence, two unknown rounds were flown. For final result best two scores from preliminary and best one score from final are added together.
Quite big spectators crowd was present during all weekend

Group picture of all pilots
Looks like this year more and more people switch to carbon airframes. This make sense when you have in mind how long they last and how well they fly. It was specially pleasant to see that 5 out of 10 top pilots select our Victory model to compete in this top event. Also number of pilots using 1S setup rising up, compared with previous years. It was noticeable that bigger diameter propellers are more and more popular. Well balanced system provide noticeable braking in down lines. So I am quite sure in future w will see more 15-16 inch or even bigger propellers.
My personal best prelim flight results
With such score I was able to win third roundResults after 3 preliminary flights
Top 10 pilots proceed to finals with unknown sequenceQuite interesting to compare scores with fellow competitor
Scores for my Aeromusical flights
all 3 flights receive same score of 339. I never saw same points given in all 3 rounds. No need to say i was really happy with such pointsFinal Aeromusical class results

I like ;)
In my 21 years of flying RC models I have won many big competitions, but I never won a single first place in DMFV championships
Level in these events was spectacular each year... In those years I learn many things from such top pilots like Derk van der Vecht ,Martin Müller , Gernot Bruckmann. I have big respect for them and every pilot I compete against. Finally I reach top spot in this year German championship. Now looking forward for more practise flights and third world F3P championship in Strasbourg!Happy pilot with trophies
Special thanks to my family, friends and sponsors for support during all those years!On our way back home to Lithuania we notice something that might be next Glavak F3P propeller;)
It is great to see that our hobby/sport evolve and equipment become so advanced. Down side for this is lack of young generation getting in to F3P, since it become to expensive and difficult to build. And again DMFV with Mr. Jurgen Heilig try to solve this problem by setting minimum weight limit for beginner class. From next year minimum of 100g for RTF model will be set, together with no coaxial system option. This is done to make entry class more affordable. I think this is good idea, and we are looking forward for next year competition!
