Congratulations to 1st Marcus, 2nd Jim (a great result Jim, well flown!) and 3rd Jon.

A fun day was had by all.

F3K #1 Longwood 30 aug 2015

Hi all the results of our first f3k competition of the season are below,

we were fortunate that the event was in Longwood, because Melbourne was grey windy and drizzly when I set off,

but the weather in Longwood turned out terrific,

Since there weren't too many of us flying, we decided to run alot of all up heats, and last 2 and last 3 heats,

which meant for a lot of flying. In the end congrats go to:

1st Marcus Stent

2nd John Day

3rd Hugh Blackburn

4th Jim Houdalakis

This was the last official event for the 2014-15 season and it was the best weather we have had in many years. It was a perfect autumn day with light winds...or so we thought.

8 pilots (and 1 helper) made the trip out to fly, including Jamie from Sydney (9 hrs each way) and Greg and Graham from Tasmania (1hr flights). Thanks for making the trip to join in the fun and I know we enjoyed having you as much as you enjoyed attending.

F3K #9 Diggers Rest 26 April 2015

Dave (XXL), Jamie (Stream), Nick (XP5 and holding Marcus' RepAerial), Jon (CX3), Hugh (Snipe). Marcus on the camera.

A bleak Melbourne Autumn day greeted six keen starters and it was another excellent hit out for the Aussie F3K team (Marcus, Hugh and Jamie).

A big welcome to Nick who came along for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the day.  He showed great spirit flying his XP5 and had some excellent flights. His 957 points in his first ever Poker attempt and a 2:57 min in the Last 2 round were real highlights. Well flown! With everyone willing to help, I know Nick went away with a huge amount of knowledge and confidence.
