今日在馬鞍山舉行的F3F賽，由於只吹著間歇微弱東風，比賽進度遲緩，全日只能完成3個回合賽事，經投票決定賽事會繼續在下個星期日舉行。三個回合的成績暫時以阿麥一馬當先帶頭，阿邦和Angus跟隨其後。

阿堅叔最近好黑，行路被人撞親腳，所以搽番白塊面轉下運

烈日之下仍有班儍佬在山上當灑！

肥輝為隊友阿堅出機

Johnson又有新玩具，就是VV本人用過的原裝Ascot

阿邦隻爛Elita又斷頭，不過又死唔去喎！

大楊集中精神比賽

Johnson做主審唔易做，皆因下星期日又要做多次！

今日壓續好戲是C.M.迫降馬鞍山下，在烈日當空下要穿山過草把愛機拾回可不容易啊！

My Ascot was previous owned by Roman Vojtech, not VV Confused

Roman同VV佬友鬼鬼，架機都係VV造比佢玩，所以出自何處都無也分別啦！

有movies睇啦

阿邦隻爛elita，爛銅都仲有三分釘，斷頭都可以飛

本星期日九月二十八天氣預告十分理想, 將會延續昨天的比賽.二十一日缺席的機手亦可加入.
由於昨天的第四回合未能完成, 因此第四回將於本星期日九月二十八重新開始.

我在這裏要特別多謝阿蘇同一眾機友幫忙找飛機和指引回程的路逕，以及要向蘇太講聲抱歉，因為我帶阿蘇爬到非常險要的地方，使你擔心，實在很對不起。

執番條命的Extreme話佢下次一定嬴冠軍來報答大家喎 Exclamation

同你隻 Extreme 講句, 做飛機唔洗咁認真。唔洗一定做冠軍來報答大家嫁!

Weather forecast for this Sunday turned to weak/moderate north to northeast wind. Should we go to Lobster Bay or High Junk peak for the continuation race?

I also want to ask the possibility of holding the race one day earlier, i.e. Saturday, as the wind forecast is very promising at scale 5/6 easterly!
At least two pilots said last Sunday that they may not be able to attend the continuation race as they might have overseas trip. If we push forward one day earlier, they might be OK.
Please consider my proposal seriously to accomodate more pilots. Of course, the wind would be really good that the paragliders will disappear for good! Laughing

I am fine for both SAT and SUN.

What my concern is rain rather than wind. We cannot fly under the rain, but could play with thermal in low wind condition.

I just chatted with the designer of our timing gear (C.M). From the video shown above, some of us spent more time in turning than others. I then suddenly have an idea. How about modifying the standard beep sound to align with the time spent in the turns?

I know that in other region, the base man activates the beeper when the model passing the pole, but he would hold the switch until the model leaving the turn. The timer simply renders a mono tone signal until the model leaving the turn. As such, the pilot would learn how far he lost in each turn. This would certainly improve our turning skills.

C.M. siad this could be a training mode in the gear, and could be reverted to standard mode by just a switch. How is you guy's view ??

While YC and Wing cannot be reached or have not replied in the past few hours, as well as three pilots confirm they will be on duty on this Saturday, I am afraid we cannot have contest this Saturday.

Contest will be continued on this Sunday. 維持原定, 本星期日續賽, 地點待決.

星期日北至東北風，去邊道賽 Question

If northerly wind dominates, Lobster Bay .
Northeast - High Junk Hill

Let see if the eastery wind is still there tomorrow evening. (Very unlikely)

Stanley · Joined: 26 Feb 2004 Posts: 2684 Location: Hong Kong

Look like it will be straight north this Sunday.
Robin's Nest lower north slope may be a possibility, but the casualty rates there are usually quite high! Mad

Well, some happy pilots report that wind direction ischanging to NE this evening at MOS, yet it is still very stron easterly wind at this moment (6:15 pm), so if it is north east later tonight and tomorrow morning, we will go to High Jump hill, if it is straight north, I will suggest Lobster bay if the pilots , especially those who prefer to keep their weapons in good shape for Tawian Open.
So pilots where do you wanna to contest IF it is North Wind ?

I suggest:
NE: High Junk
N: Lobster Bay
