Finalists
All JR pilots
Thank you for all of your great performance and looking forward to seeing you at next WC in ITALY!!
Finals Round 1 & 2
Weather condition is nasty today. Pilots are suffered by strong wind and rain heavy at times.
Mr. Ito used electric model and first flight was going very well, then suddenly the motor stopped! Fortunately, he was able to land okay. We found it later that the reason of this accident was a problem with battery connection. Thankfully his second flight had no problems and again he got 1,000 points there.
Now, Mr. Ito is top with 2,000 points and Mr. Scott Gray is second.
Just one more final round tomorrow!!
Today is an occasional day but finalists were in hurry to the practice field from the morning.
Mr. Ito is practicing with both electric and engine. No one knows which one he will use for the final yet.
Every each pilots is getting their perfection level higher and higher in very strong wind.
Looking forward to watch their exciting performance tomorrow!
