F3F Slope Race in Ma On Shan

F3F Slope Race in Ma On Shan
28 August, 2005

A F3F competition was held in Ma On Shan on Sunday, 28 August 2005. The weather was as predicted, strong easterly wind with lots of sunshine, what a wonderful condition for F3F contest! The average wind speed was 12 m/s and the wind was straight to the slope - perfect! The contest was started at 11:00am with 10 pilots. Sorry for Ah Wing not be able to take part in the race because his Hypnosis was plunged into a tree during landing with severe damage, what a bite! Ah Wai kicked off the race with a convincing 42.99 - wow! This is certainly a good start after waiting 7 months for the right season. Stanley did poorly in the first flight with his brand new Aris for which he has only about 10 minutes of stick time before the race. However, he managed to adapt a new style of flying and learned the potential of the plane. He got a 40.74 in the second flight - what a great improvement! Stanley continued to perform well with a 39.91 in round 4 - the first thirty ever recorded in Hong Kong! This record soon be replaced by another record of 36.15 in round 5, congratulation! Chan Kwok Wai (Ko Lo Wai) showed us his master skill not only in repairing the rip wing of his New Sting but also the potential of pushing the plane to it limits with a personal best of 38.16. Angus performed consistently well with his Aris in the beginning, but after a few cuts in round 5 and 7, he was gradually slipping behind. His landing after round 8 went into a disaster. The inner nose cone of his brand new Aris was broken in disbelief, what a bite to him! The race was called off after 9 rounds at 3:30pm, not only because we didn't want to have more rounds as time was allowed but there were heavy casualty in landing. In the end, there were only 4 planes left that were still capable of airborne - what's a fierce fighting you see! Even though the casualty was high, everybody was happier, because they all got their new personal bests, wonderful! The organizer wishes to thank numerous tireless helpers, in particular, C.M. and Ah Wing for manning the bases. See you in the Hong Kong F3F Open!
