tonym Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Unfortunately Johan and Kristof are not coming after all, we're down to 13 now, just enough to run a 2-slot competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Chitty Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hi Tony I was hoping to make this but I have a swollen knee which won't stand 2 days of running around a field. Very disappointed as we just moved house and have kept my glider box close at hand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sorry we won't see you Nick. I can't do 2 days of running around in a field either - 1 day would be a struggle.

MikeDLG Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I plan to arrive tomorrow sometime. Give me sometime to get the tent up and get some stick time. I have a the new 'Windy' Flitz to try out. Sad we are losing entrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyHickson Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Field looks great. I plan to arrive sometime Friday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Dutch have arrived - and made the field their own. Bart has had to withdraw as he has damaged his knee quite badly - looks like I'd better add myself to the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 There is no start time on here. So I am planning to arrive about 09:30. Don't think we will be short on time for the comp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Scores after 8 rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Final scores after a belter of a day. How I wish I was able to fly, watching the others having fun finding thermals and going to the moon was hard. Anyway, well done Richard, and well done to everyone else too for making this another great F3K contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Here's why I didn't get past the second round, 'sammed' by Arjen - did far more damage to his wing though, my repair should be easier. Pulled the peg out of my Steigeisen in that round too, I forgot I needed to look at the launch peg after its last outing. Will fit a T-blade to the steig now too.

cirrusRC Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks for the updates Tony - weather sure looked great for you. I opted for the full size ones today instead. Sorry to see your model damaged, hope the repair is straight forward. Did this happen during a launch? Any tips on how I can avoid something similar happening to me?

Guest Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Here are a few photos from the Eurotour. I am not the world's best snapper, so apologies for poor composition, lousy focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikef Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Tired but happy after a great weekend. Snipe performed well for me in its first contest but I made some daft mistakes to let it down. The winners made some spectacular flights. Saturday evening saw some good times round the campfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDLG Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Really great weekend! Thank you Tony for organising once again. We had really good conditions, challenging windy but with lift on Saturday and glorious calm, but at times tricky conditions on Sunday. Thanks to the Dutch guys for attending again, always great to hang out with you guys. Well done Richard for the win. Even though you had a bad round at the start of each day, you won convincingly. I had a great Sunday, but a Saturday to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechalster Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Had a great weekend. Lost the plot on Saturday,. Happy with my flying on Sunday. Thanks to all who made it happen. Have the score break downs been published anywhere? Would love to know how I won 5 2s with my poor QTs? mike c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
