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


The Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society organized a 60" F3F slope race in Ma On Shan on Sunday, 5 March 2006. The weather God cried for the rain early in the morning. Despite of rain, some diehard F3F fans insisted on hiking up to the mountain and hope that the rain would stop later while a few pilots stayed in the car park waiting for instruction by fellows up in the mountain. Finally, after about an hour of wait, the rain stopped! We immediately set up the equipment and the race was started right after 12:00pm. The wind speed averaged at 20km per hour, a perfect condition for F3F.  A total of 10 pilots joined the race. After 10 rounds of intense competition, the race was called off at 4:10pm. Wonderful! The winner of the race is Au Chi Fai. Congratulation! HKRCSS wishes to thank Steve Drake of US for sponsoring a prize for the race. Here are the detailed scores for the race:
