Last weekend was really interesting for me and my friend/helper Vladimir. It was crazy plan, to visit two competitions in one weekend...now about 4000km left behind, and allot of good memories from seeing many good RC friends. Here is full story with some pictures and videos; Group picture beffore demo flight , (from L to R) Martin Muler, Julia Biermann, Me , Derk van Der Vecht.
We came to Bleicherode (about 1400km from Vilnius) on Friday evening. My plan was to qualify to 2008 German F3P championship and on Saturday evening drive another 600km to Aalst, F6B contest. Normally qualification for German championship is two days event, but organizers promise me to let fly enough rounds to qualify. Saturday morning view from our hotel window.
Everything was ok except fact that i felt sick when we start trip, on Saturday morning it was worse, i had temperature and really bad cold when we came to hall... Very nice gym in Bleicherode.
As organizers told i was allowed to make two flights in first day, so i was able to qualify! Unfortunately in first pattern round i get two 0 for takeoff and landing...i made all turns 90 degree, and turn out that all except first two must be done in 180 degrees... So if not such small mistake even with two rounds i could be in third place in F3P-A. Aeromusical was better, i flew two rounds and both score well, routine was flown not perfect and i still get good points. Now im looking forward to fly in German F3P championship after 5 weeks in Rodinhausen. Overall competitions was organized VERY well, i must say with German quality! Wise way to transport fragile planes. Each pilot get same amount of practice flights, time shedule was good prepared, judges made zero round for "warming up" of each class, this improve judging quality! Also i must mention that flying level in Germany is higher than i saw in other countries, all pilots fly good, and only very small mistakes divide pilots. B pilots briefing. Impressive 2m "indoor shocky". Right after last AM flight we pack our equipment and drive to Aalst "3D college indoor event" F6B competition (another 600km), road was long and difficult, + navigation made some tricks with road blocks;) So we reach hall only 4 hours before door opening...;) After short nap in car...we went to practice. Interesting competition poster and Sultimate similarity;) I won all F6B rounds, and first F3P-A (pattern) round. I ended up in first place in F6B and second in pattern, Jacquim flew really well and deserve victory. We had allot of fun meeting again with our good friends Benoit Dierickx, Jens Van Dorpe, Bert Dalaere! Benoit and me. Sad but points i get in F6B will not be counted to overall standings , since it was national contest. So right now i stand in third place, in WAG F6B class. This result will definitely change since we have allot of international competitions comming. Results Interesting AM podium in Bleicherode;) Bleicherode results.

I would like to say big thank you for Vladimir Mosin and Andrius Bukauskas (president of Lithuania aeromodeling association), for big help durring this trip. Also special thanks goes to Jurgen Heilig and Martin Muler, for helping me to fly both rounds for qualification in first day!!!
