Good easterly wind today, so pilots were happy and got ready for the
contest |

The wind was consistent through out and the contest results are really
close |

One, two, three, launch! |

Donny was inspecting his Race-M for any linkage failure |

Waiting on the queue |

Ah So was the unlucky guy today. His Extreme plunged to ground after
launch. He spent hours in searching for the weckage |

DC Wai is one of the most reliable launchers |

Donny was resting and enjoying the contest |

What's happened? Ah Kin's Race-M noise cone got stuck and needed a
doctor for surgery |

Looks like someone has found a way to solve the puzzle |

Ah Mak's old RaceM was a star today for its good penetration speed in
high wind |

Ah Pong won the 2nd-runner prize |

Stanley won the 1st-runner prize |

Ah Mak was so happy to be the champion again |

Kenneth flew his Extreme to high precision and speed to grab the speedy
man title |

Congratulation to the winners |

It has been a long time reunion for the SMP team, well done! |

Group photo after the contest, cheers! |
