Carvin 2007

Thursday, 15 November 2007

Tuesday we came back from one of the best indoor F3P competition i ever participate in! Already several year this top competition open indoor season in Europe. This time only i and my helper Vladimir could come to France, it was long (~1800km one way) trip but sure it was worth to make it!

Carvin 2007 participants, from France, Belgium , Netherlands, Czech republik and Lithuania.

From last year i made allot changes in indoor hangar, and looks like i was right about every change i made. New equipment starting from DX7 radio with AR6100 rx, Dymon D47/Hitec 65hb servos, new planes SULtimate and Deluxe and new awesome Flight Power EvoLight 2S 350mah and EVO20 300mah packs work perfect for both pattern and freestyle!

(From R to L) Ido Segev, Me, John Glezellis, Adi Kohav with my Vanquish and Ido Katana.

I was lucky enough to visit this year EXFC. Ricardas, Mindaugas and me made trip affter Europe F3J champions where we participate. We came on saturday evening and sunday we saw semifinals and finals live.

Competition was organized by Krill Aircraft kits and Red bull, from what i saw it was great success! One thing is for sure i have to participate there after one year!!! This time we saw very hi level of flying, all semifinalist putt outstanding freestyle routines with super hard maneuvers, few years ago not much top pilots could make them with foamies not talking about 35-40% planes...
In my opinion most spectacular flying was made by Gernot and competitors from USA and Israel, these guys flew borrowed planes, and knowing this routines looked pretty smooth, also EXTREME rolling harriers/ loops inches from ground sure gave WOW points !!!
Also im very happy that i meet in person few RC friends, Jens, John, Ido and Adi, must say all of them are top freestyle pilots but whats more important all are super nice persons!!! Guys looking forward to compete with you next year!

By the way i must say i was VERY impressed with little less known pilots (Alex, Axel, Fabien, Filippo, Alberto and Daniel) flights, new generation of QS's is here!
