F3K 10
Marcus and his Vibe take out the last event of the year...just!
F3K 10 - 3 July 2016
The last event of the RCGA year was F3K at Diggers Rest and it was a sunny but extremely windy (7m/s+) day.
5 pilots braved the tough, low lift conditions and there was only 3 flights that made it to 3 minutes for the entire day.
The lead changed 3 times throughout the day. Firstly Jon Day with his NXT started on fire with multiple 1000pt rounds and we were starting to think how we were going to catch him. Then Marcus upped his ballast from 25g to 75g and his Vibe came alive and this started a run of winning times (and some lift!!!) to take the 1000 in 5 of the next 7 rounds and take the lead. After a charge break, David changed to his heavier Snipe with 100g of ballast and after 4 more rounds had taken the lead by less than 100 points. It came down to the last round of the day and Marcus managed to get some (relatively) good lift to take the win! Dave came second with Jon third.
A huge thanks to Robert who is new to DLG and timed for us for most of the day. He came to fly but wisely decided not to fly due to the extreme winds.
See you next year,
Marcus
