60" F3F Slope Race in Ma On Shan
5 February, 2006


A 60" F3F contest was held in Ma On Shan on Sunday, 5 February 2006. This is the first race in a series of 60" F3F races scheduled this year. The weather forecast a day before was very promising, however, the weather man failed us again this time. A total of 13 enthusiastic r/c pilots joined the race in the Ma On Shan east-facing slope. The wind speed was averaged at about 3.5m/s initially and occasionally dropped to 1 m/s in the afternoon, so the race was called on and off intermittently. Finally, only four rounds of contest were completed with the best time of 54.21s by Au Chi Fai who also won the race. Congratulation! Here are the detailed scores for the race:
