F3J again


Picture: from the left: Me, Jo Grini and Jostein Myre

2nd septhember we had out last F3J event this season. 18 pilots attended at Spydeberg airfield, whit the club Cirrus as the organiser. Nice weather, and again difficult conditions. The wind was strong all day, the thermals difficult to follow.
I did verry well in this competiton. With Jo's Perceft and also his old radio... Since I had a misshap with my own equipment thursday before this event. Lost radio contact with my own Perfect. Exit Perfect... Nothing was left for me after the crash. (I have bought a new radio...)
But with Jo's plane, I was at the top after prelim (4 rounds flown). I flew with 800 g lead all day. Also in the finals. That was not a good thing to do, as the wind has calmed a lot. But ended third, and I am verry happy with that. Jo won again, before my team-mate Jostein Myre. Erik Morgan (also on my team) ended fifth. Great team result!

Firstcomming weekend I am organising the nationals F3B. Sadly very few pilots... Very few. But I think we will fly "all against each other" in all round. Should be a lot of rounds and a lot of fun! (I hope).
