60" F3F Slope Race in Ma On Shan
13 February, 2005


A F3F competition for 60" model gliders was held in Ma On Shan on Sunday, 13 February 2005. This is the first time a 60" F3F race was run. In the early morning, about a dozen enthusiastic r/c pilots gathered in the Ma On Shan car park and soon they found out that the wind as predicted by the weatherman was missing and the high mountain area was covered with dense fog. After an hour of wait-and-see, the weather God was still not cooperative. Anyway, they decided to hike up despite of the grim weather outlook. As soon as they reached the plateau, they discovered that the sky was clear without fog, the wind was improving too! So they setup the course immediately and the race was started exactly at 12:00pm with initial wind speed averaged at 9 km. Totally, 18 r/c pilots participated in the race, some of them are new to F3F. As the race progressed, the wind was gradually increased to 22km! Six rounds of contest were completed with the best time at 55.23s by Au Chi Fai who also won the race. Congratulation! HKRCSS wishes to thank Windridder for sponsoring this contest. Thanks also go to Y.C., Angus and other tireless workers for setting up and running the race. Here are the detailed scores for the race:
