Jon_E Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 The call is normally left until early Friday evening to make the decision on the best possible forecast. In tomorrows case, it is now clear that the changing wind direction has become an issue, together with the rain forecast for late morning. All making for a low probability that we could complete enough rounds. Reluctantly, tomorrows comp is therefore OFF. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Dakin Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 That's a shame Jon, but as always a spot on decision. There was no way that we were going to get a race in tomorrow. Roll on November Regards, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon_E Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 A great day on lovely Levisham. Weather forecast was a bit off to start, with light southerly winds, making the decision to go to Levisham looking like an mistake. However, patience paid off as the wind increased, and turned W, well nearly, probably WSW to SW most of the day. Wind speed peaked at around 12m/s. As we waited for the wind to settle, we ran a Round Zero to give the 10 pilots a chance to do some trimming flights. By Midday we had steady legal conditions, and the racing started for real. Rounds we completed in rapid succession, resulting in a total of 8 rounds before the daylight started to fade. Consistent flying from Mart R give him a clear win, followed by Peter G in second, and Mark T in third. Mark T also took the FTD with a cracking 36.20 in R3. Great results guys. Must mention our new recruit , Cengiz Philcox, taking part in his first F3F comp. A damaged model put him out of the last two rounds, otherwise I think he would have been a lot higher in the leader board. Well done mate! Full results :- 1 Mark Redsell 6752.8 2 Peter Gunning 6477.06 3 Mark Treble 6289.04 4 Paul Garnett 6095.59 5 Rich Baygo 6076.16 6 Steve Haley 6073.28 7 Ewan Maxwell 6035.69 8 Jon Edison 5218.09 9 Bob Dickenson 4565.0 10 Cengiz Philcox 3815.05 Full spread sheet to follow Thanks to all for your help and patience. See you hopefully in January In the meantime Happy Christmas to everybody Jon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter G Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thanks for organising John & Mark, it was a grand day out! The forecast didn't quite happen so it was the more normal, challeniging crossed conditions on Levisham, the downwind base B being particularly tricky. Well done to Mark R whose turns on B were top notch. Mart T's 36 was epic and Pengy's 42 was pretty sublime too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon_E Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Another great day on Levisham. Weather forecast was spot on, but the clear sky meant some careful flying around Base A to avoid the 'current bun' Westerly winds ranging from 8 - 12 m/s gave some fairly decent times, although Levisham variability was evident in later rounds. 14 pilots recorded scores, with a welcome return from Dave Wright. Cengiz now a veteren flyer making his second event and Kyri and Tony adding to the numbers 10 rounds were completed, which gave time to pack up the gear and gather in the carpark for the results, before the daylight faded A great win for Peter, with Richard Second, and Steve a comfortable Third. FTD went to Richard with a 41.57 in R10. Great Results chaps. Full Results :- Full Spreadsheet to follow Thanks to everyone for helping throughout the day. Look forward to seeing you all on the 1st February Jon 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
