F3B - Multi-Task Soaring F3B State Champs 16-17 Feb, 2013
F3B State Champs 16-17 Feb, 2013
F3B was the Victorain State Championships and it was 2 days of hot weather, light winds and very competitive flying. The lead changed on 5 occasions throughout the event and it was David Pratley who eventually came out on top. Great flying Dave, it is the best we have seen you fly yet! Marcus came second flying his home made Machine for most of the event and Gerry finished third. A big thanks to John Skinner for making the effort to come over from Tasmania.Unfortunately he lost his Fosa Lift due to radio problems early in the event but stayed to help time, call and buzz. We hope you can make it back next year John.
The fastest speed for the weekend was 15.06 by Marcus and the most laps was 28 by Jim. Well done!
Congratulations to the place getters:
1st David Pratley, Fosa
2nd Marcus Stent, Fosa/Machine
3rd Gerry Carter, Shooter/Freestyler3

The Thermal league event was held on Sunday as part of the F3B event. See a separate report in the F3j-Thermal results.
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.
