Jerry Lunt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi Martin, I understand that by dint of my one appearance (right word?) at last months Midlands league event that I qualify for an entry in this event - the last place I believe. Could you confirm (or not) and outline the proceedings please, as I have not done this type of event before. Thanks, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Lunt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Having never been to these slopes, I would appreciate some guidance/pointer(s). Not just for flying 'em, but for getting there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Bertschi Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi Jerry As Martin already stated it's not a difficult place to fly, perhaps a bit scary to look at (Wrecker/Crest/Back of the Wrecker). The westerly slopes (Mickey's) are - my personal opinion - one of the best slopes for beginners in F3F. You can fly as close to the slope as you feel comfortable (and still fly with reasonable speed) and the landing area is just plain beautyful (if you stick to the principle to pull crow when you are in front of the trees ;-)). I've flown my first ever F3F comp on Mickey's (well the Westerly) and it felt comfortable from the start (I rather wouldn't mention my first attempt on the Back of the Wrecker - but it wasn't the slope but the idiot on the sticks). Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really worried. I'm hoping to get to the slopes Friday afternoon for a bit of practice, weather permitting. It will be my first visit.
