The eighth F3F competition for the Year 2007 was held in Ma On Shan on Sunday, 26 August, 2007. The contest was originally scheduled on 12 August but was postponed due to bad weather. The weather forecast that day was light northeast wind in the morning and got up to moderate southeasterly in the afternoon. So it was decided to make a gamble to hold the race in Ma On Shan's east-facing slope. In the early morning, about a dozen enthusiastic r/c pilots arrived at Ma On Shan car park for the briefing. They started to hike up at about 9:45am after watching the slow moving cloud showing that the wind was picking up. When they were on the top, they discovered that the wind was right on the slope, although it was very marginal at 2 to 3 m/s. Ok, the race was kicked off at about 11:30 with Li Man being the first to fly. His Sting was a right choice in this kind of marginal condition. However, Mak's and Stanley's Aris both performed poorly in this light wind condition. Surprisingly, Ah Kin's Ceres performed extremely well today and it behaved like a completely different machine as in  previous races. In addition with a bit of luck, he flown his Ceres to get a 54.94s under an average 4.5m/s of wind and took the first 1000. He continued to take the lead with a big margin and Ah Pong was catching up in the second place with large efforts. C.M. flown his brand new Aris the first time and did pretty well in some runs. Angus and Y.C. came in the afternoon just be able to join the contest at round 5. Angus's Skorpion did very well, his runs were smooth with astonishing speed. This is certainly a good, but unfortunately a bit expensive, racing machine! The race was called on and off a few times due to variable wind conditions. Finally, a total of 8 rounds was completed at 5pm and the Champion is Ah Kin. Fat Fat stole the speed man title with a 52.41s in round 3.

Congratulation to the winners. Here is the summarized scores for the race. For details, please check the score sheet.
