RC Slope Soaring, Hong Kong 香港滑翔機發燒友論壇

F3F第八場賽事原定在8月12日星期日舉行，由於天文台預測本星期日有好東風，現提議早一星期舉行，即8月5日，大家有冇意見

[Ah Pong]

I agree. But my buddy (Stanley) is out of town.


Ah Mak, how do you think?

[CM Cheng]

要東風定要Stanley

[K.Y.Mak]

OK for me.

[BigYeung]

I'll not be available this week end.

[Angus]

咦 Stanley重未返啊 玩足兩個星期 唔怪之得啦

不如攪次 Informal 啦，次次 Informal 都好好風

[Yeung]

10 minutes distance -endurance.... but CM has to change the programe

[Angus]

唔記得 Stanley keep 住啲好重嘢



大好東風，都喺練下F3F，為 Welsh Open 作備戰

[Wing]

Given Big Yeung not available & unknown schedule for Stanley, better don't re-schedule Match 8 from 8/12 to 8/5

Instead, should be good to run informal race this weekend See if we can actively invite more "new" commers (e.g. Trinity f3b x-tail, Acacia 4, Crossfire - yellow / white) to participate Take a look into recent Taiwan f3f event, seems they have lots of pilots (over 40) joining the race

p.s. No worry for Base A / B poles, we should able to make them - like Match 1 in HJP early this year

Mid-air accident after the race on MOS today.
The big BANG was heard far away.
Two planes were damaged badly

Ah Wai, are you going to repair the NewSting for next weeks race ?
If you can't get it repaired in time, you can fly my NewSting for the race. Just tell me to bring it.

[Angus]

有成績啦

Ah Yeung got a 42sec in round 2, and then a 102sec in round 5??

[Yeung]

Yes,
The Trinity F3B was fast to hold the speedy man for a while. The 102.xx s is mainly due to the incapability to climb, maybe over bsllasted, during launch and thus didn't make the initial speed.
I quitted the contest due to a stupid landing under low wind condition. I cracked the tail boom and decided to quit rather than inducing further damage. Save me less effort to align the geometry. Yet, it worth to let the speed title off to Ah Kin with the roll of wire

[Wing]

Yesterday informal race was really a very fruitful practice, although very pity for the mid-air after the race

It’s so well organize that we were able to conduct total 14 rounds, with each pilot flying with 1 + 1 rounds (first normal launch, then one more round with bufferfly start before landing). We experienced changing conditions with different mixes of wind speed, thermal & lift conditions For those who did not participation in the race, there was a big rain in the middle of round #1 & round #2 which forced the race to pause. That’s why some pilots flying in later order experienced non-promising lift after the rain (and therefore difficult to making 4x.xx results)

Also yesterday made-to-F3B planes proved their capability in slope racing see the 42.xx top speed by Ceres F3B & Trinity F3B – watch out

Thanks thanks to everyone including Ah So for setting up the Shelter, Ah Yeung & Ah Mak for Talkies, Ah Kin for Bamboo and Angus for bring time gears & compilation of results & personal best
