Open Thermal 17 Feb, 2013

Hi all,


The Thermal league event was held on Sunday as part of the F3B event. Graham Norman flew his Agida and showed great thermal skills in difficult (very cyclic) conditions and was the only one not to drop significant flight time. Marcus finished second flying his 2.7Kg Machine and David third with his Fosa. Interestingly there was only 35 points between 2nd and 6th.

Well done to:

1st Graham Norman, Agida

2nd Marcus Stent, Machine

3rd David Pratley, Fosa

The 2 x Distance tasks flown in the middle of the Thermal day were a great success giving Daniel and Tom a chance to fly distance with their thermal models. Daniel won their first encounter 19 to 15 and then Tom got his revenge 17 to 9 in the second. They thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and recommended we do it again in the future. The 2 rounds of distance took less than 1.5 hrs to run and we only stopped at 6 Rounds (4PM) because of the 35 degree heat.

Relaxation at lunch time in a very dry field.

Hi All,

The fourth RCGA Open Thermal League event for 2012/13 was held at Diggers Rest on Sunday 13th January.

It was good to have eleven pilots turn out for what turned out to be an interesting day. 

The field was made available for those wanting to practice their F3K skills for next weeks World Championship Team selection trials.  They took a spot way off in the distance so this caused no problems at all.  We had an overcast day and despite this the thermal activity continued quite strongly throughout the day.

So, what was interesting?
