F3K APO Results
Asia Pacific F3K Open 2016 Results
WOW! What an event! 31 competitors from 7 countries competing in the most well organised and largest F3K event ever seen in Australia! Not only that, it had the current F3K World Champion (AlexHewson) and World Championship team (NZ).
It lived up to all the expectations, thanks to the hard work of ShonaGuest, JonDay and the APO support team of TimLennon (CD), Dave Milward, Wendy Jones, Gerry Carter, Marcus Stent and the entire Longwood community. The entire event ran like clockwork from start to finish!
A big thanks to our Sponsors in the VMAA/MAAA and the Strathbogie Shire Council.
The event had all the ups and downs you would expect from a world class event with Asia Pacific's best F3K pilots fighting it out in tough Aussie conditions (38 deg.C and windy every day). At one point AlexHewson almost missed the fly offs and then showed his class to come back and win the APO. Well done Alex!
The team event saw the currnet NZ World Champions take a strangle hold on top spot from the beginning and never looked like losing it. Austalia did well on home soil to finished second and Singapore pipped the 2014 APO Champions (China) to finish third. Well done everyone!
A huge thanks to all the competitors for travelling so far, their great sportsmanship, their sense of fun and their great comraderie. I know everyone is looking forward to catching up again at the next one (rumored to be NZ)!
Cheers,
Marcus
