F3F Slope Race in High Junk Peak
 January 07, 2007


The first F3F competition for the Year 2007 was held in High Junk Peak on Sunday, 7 January, 2007. The race is the first full F3F race for this year windy season. The race was originally scheduled to be run in Ma On Shan, but the wind direction was changed to northerly, so we moved to High Junk Peak instead.  In the early morning, about a dozen enthusiastic r/c pilots arrived at the Clearwater Bay road car park near High Junk Peak. They decided that HJP is suitable to host the race and started hiking up to the flying slope at 10:00am. When they were on the top, they discovered that the wind was right on the slope and the wind was strong at 6m/s. Wonderful! They immediately assembled their planes for test fly. The landing was quite difficult because there were lots of turbulence. Stanley had a crash landing and almost damaged his plane. After a bit delay due to the late arrival of the timing gear, the race was officially started at 12:05pm. 11 pilots joined the contest. Mak took the first round by a thinned margin. Johnson was the unlucky guy. He scored pretty well in the first round, but his Trinity was badly damaged on a hard landing after finishing the first round. So he had to use a 60" MiniNYX for the rest of contest, poor chap! Mak took the second round again with a stunning 48.48s, the only sub fifty in the whole contest! His brand new Aris was performing fabulously. Yes, his Aris is new in a sense that it has been lying somewhere in a UK airport for three months after its mysterious trip to Viking Race 2006 in Scotland. It only surfaced when the Englishman found time to clear up the stuff during Christmas holiday! Mak continued to take the lead with a big margin while the second and third places were fierce fights. The wind gradually died down after round 6 and the contest was drawn to conclude at 4:15pm with 8 rounds of contest.

Congratulation to K.Y. Mak in winning the contest and also to be crowned the title of the first Hong Kong Speedy Man for year 2007!  Here are the summarized scores for the race, for details, please check the score sheet .
