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;)  1.Me/EF 58 inch Extra , 2. Gernot Bruckmann/SebArt Su29 140, 3. Filippo Materazzi SebArt Funtana 140  Powered by Flight Power EVO25 3700mah 5S packs, Extra had crazy power! Top 4 pilots with planes, one from Extreme flight RC other three from SebArt.  Finalists, Gernot Bruckmann and Donatas Pauzuolis. Flight Power team, Donatas, Massimo and Filippo. Massimo preparing his plane.  Affter awesome SMOKE demo, Evaldas Heli require some cleaning;) F6A points for Turin competition; Place | Name | Nation | FAI Licence Nr | World Ranking Points | 1 | Donatas Paužuolis | LTU | LT-493 | 367,42 | 2 | Gernot Bruckmann | AUT | 240039 0058 | 183,71 | 3 | Filippo Materazzi | ITA | ITA-15392 | 122,47 | 4 | Massimo Selva | SMR | SMR-012 | 91,86 | 5 | Sebastiano Gabutti | ITA | ITA- | 73,48 | 6 | Evaldas Černiauskas | LTU | LT- | 61,24 | WAG CIAM Selection contest World Ranking  Filippo SebArt Funtana.

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.
