RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

件風褸想造中褸!如果短褸的話,肥仔身形(須然冇乜)着落唔好睇!!中褸好睇好多,又保暖D ,下面冇像根,改用繩.大家覺得好唔好,

另外一樣安排亦想同大家研究一下，就馬鞍山分開比賽及降落場地一事，始終有一定風險．就中秋賽時，不少機手在降落時都險象環生，如果大風還要到傘佬那邊降落，應該更危險．

而我們一直用的F3F場地，左右都有一個凹凸位，並不是一條直track，左右兩個point都比機手位低，不容易看．所以提議將F3F track 向左移100米，因為那邊track較直，而左右兩個point同機手成一水平．至於降落就能回到現在的降落場，大家較有信心，不需要打擾傘佬，有能分開比賽及降落場地．

左邊場沒有右邊斜，可能 Split-S 不及側轉有利，但可以借大金鍾拿高度，較果就要試過先知．

由於左邊場比賽環境並不試過，不如就在十月份比賽試一試

Yup, I believe we should explore the alternative f3f track as Angus mentioned in above. With Base A on left hand side so that during the 30 secs climb, the risk for crashing with landing planes on right hand side can be reduced

Also I believe the current f3f track we have been flying are very "special" in the sense that both Base A & B are much lower than the horizon whereas in other competition slopes, seems both Base A & B are more or less on pilot standing level

Just to further suggest we should explore that if wind speed continuous 3 m/s or above - since not many pilots are experienced with the lift characteristic for the alternative track and it could be difficult to retrieve the plane if no lift elsewhere

Many years ago I did fly and land in the paraglider area under very strong wind condition; I found that the turbulence there is much smaller than our current landing zone, partly because the area is flatter. Unlike the current landing zone which obviously has some wind sheer effects when the wind is strong. I am sure it will be much safer to land there than our current zone. The only problem is that we need to clear up a path for walking there. I will try to walk over there for landing tomorrow to see how it will come out

With regard to the paraglider guys, I think we can send them a message telling them that we are holding a big international event, so they are sensible guys and quite co-operative as we had two years ago. Today, I just obtained the flying permit from AFCD, so I would say we have the official permission to use MOS site that few days.

I also tried the slope on the left hand side last time; I found that the slope is not steep enough for F3F particularly for split-s turns unless you fly far out. The slope is not straight either as there is a ridge extended out obstructing the right turn seriously. I don't think it is good for international contest but it's no harm to try it again tomorrow

今日在馬鞍山兩邊走來走去試試不同的場地。在左邊傘佬位再行過去南面少少有一個稍為偏北的斜坡，東至東北風可以在這

聽落Stanley試果度好正喎!!有冇野猪呀!!平時飛可唔可以在現時B POINT 位LANDING呀,平時飛唔想行禁遠嗎!!

度過位，在現時B點降落都應該可以，無阻下一個機手出機爬升(如果A點在左邊大金鐘處)

From the HK F3F Open 2007 web site:

"The contest will be conducted according to FAI rules for F3F slope soaring. A maximum of 20 rounds of contest will be run and a pilot's worst rounds for the first 10 rounds and the second 10 rounds will be discarded for the calculation of final score."

I think there is something wrong with the above statments. The followings are quoted form the F3F section of the FAI F3BJ 2007 edition:

5.F.1. Definition: This contest is a speed event for radio controlled slope gliders. A minimum of four rounds must be flown. The organiser shall run as many rounds as the conditions and time permits.

5.F.13: .... If more than three rounds were flown the lowest round score of each competitor will be discarded and the others added to obtain the final score which will determine his position in the final classification. If more than fourteen rounds were flown, the two lowest round scores will be discarded.

Ok, I will update the information according to the FAI rules

各位飛友，香港F3F公開賽會訂造一批風縷，每位參賽機手都會有自已名字的風縷。如其他飛友有興趣，就算非參賽者大會都可以為你們造風縷。風縷價錢大約是港幣150元。風縷的設計是黃色底加籃色HK F3F Open的logo。風縷後有個大logo，前面有細logo及你的名字。如果有興趣者請在此留言或來電通知我。由於時間緊迫，最後訂造期限是明日下午前，請盡快行動！

還有香港F3F公開賽由於需要大量人力，現徵求義工幫忙做線審或其他場務工作，為表達對義工的致意，大會會送出風縷一件以示謝意，有興趣者請留言或與我聯絡，謝謝！

Stanley,

Long time no see. I'm interest, please reseve one for me, and use my name "Alexis".
NO NEED TO HAVE LAST NAME.

I'm try to make me availble for the job of 義工. I will contact you later.

Alex,

Thank you for your help in HK F3F Open. We will make a windbreaker for you.
Hope to see you more often on the slope.

Cheers

我（及我架私家車）想幫手，在下列範疇，有乜可以做？

Willy,
可否做 C D 助手？ 我不是指按掣的工作，而是坐在我旁邊作報時助手，及維持秩序。 工作日期可以自定。
note: 按掣的工作我們已經議定由香港的賽員輪流負責。

好，我等候你的差使。


我估週五（11月2日），因為是工作天的關係，人手最緊張。我當日可幫手。

另外，如果餘下2天（11月3及4日），人手亦告短決，我亦樂意親身協助。

Willy, 11月2日 星期五就約定你做我助手。再看看有沒有其它機友有時間幫忙頂其餘兩日，若是沒有人可以抽到時間，再勞煩你幫手頂。 有大家的幫忙，我一定會做好呢份工。

已準備好一些救傷用品，以防萬一
消毒藥水，大、小膠布，膠紙，沙布...etc.

The trophies are ready

Windbreaker
Model: 堅叔




質地好唔錯呢，滑滑軟軟的

好有 VR2004 feel，質地就好好多

各位香港賽手及幫手留意 比賽期間三晚都安排咗活動：

十一月二日：小白鷺-燒烤花園 BBQ ($100) + flight simulator 比賽
十一月三日：西沙鄉村小廚 ($120) + 飛鵝山放夜機
十一月四日：明星海鲜舫晚宴

估計大部份賽手及幫手都會來，如果不能出席請在本星期日前通知我

各位飛友和義工，我將各人在香港公開賽付責的工作詳細列表電郵給你們，請盡快安排你的事項，如有遺漏或問題請盡早通知以作安排。
還有在1號星期四，台灣隊和韓國隊會早上到達，下午需要上山練習，如果你們有時間可否幫忙帶隊，謝謝！

I will day off in 1st Nov for flying .I can go with them .But my car only have two more seat for passanger .
