Competition Cancelled. Sorry Folks Water yet again! -
By Neil Harrison · Posted
Following interest in an Electric F3K competition, here are my thoughts...... There already exists a new class for electric F3K models, it is called F5K. Although some of the tasks are similar to F3K it is specifically for electric models, Brian van der Gouw has put in a lot of hard work and effort creating a class which is amazing fun to compete in, there are a few of us that travel to Holland to compete in contests over there. Just to clarify, we will NOT allow electric models to compete in F3K as this remains one of the only pure gliding disciplines in the FAI portfolio. Therefore we need to keep the two classes completely separate, however I do anticipate there being a lot of crossover from F3K to F5K and visa versa. With this in mind, we also need to avoid any reduction in pilots competing in F3K. My aim is to try and manage that we fly a mixture of of both F3K and F5K at different times but on the same weekend. Out of the 10 scheduled competitions, 5 of them are 2 day events which lends the opportunity to fly both classes, one round of F3K followed by one round of F5K, or two rounds and one round, I am sure we can work out the exact ratios based on interest in F5K. The next 2 day event where we can trial this idea is the Superfly Cup at Buckminster 20th-21st July, this gives everyone plenty of time to pull out those old F3K models and chop off the nose to install a motor. Not to dilute the F3K forum, we can discuss details and promote this on the F5K forum.
