Mr. Nicolas Detry got the victory in F3M Aerobatic Cup in France.

2011-09-05T02:46:58Z

French Championship in the F3M International class was held on July 2011 in France, and Mr. Nicolas Detry, Team JR Pilot, got victory.

F3M is one of the category in large Aerobatics Power Model Aircraft, faithful scale down model airplane from the actual aerobatic plane, compete in KNOWN, UNKNOWN and FREE events under FAI rule. The pilots have to submit the 3-dimension drawing of their model to fly at the registration, and need to get the approval in Model Processing to be a competitor at the championship. And of course the airplane has to be Radio Control Model.

The regulation of the model is as follows:

Monoplane ... over 2.1m square (Wingspan)
Biplane ... Over 1.8 square (Wingspan)
Weight ... 120kgs or less. (excluding fuel)
Noise ... 94dB or less.

Mr. Nicolas Detry got his 6 titles in F3M category.
If the actual airplane is scaled down faithfully to the model, it is always difficult to fly because of its bad tendency naturally caused when scaled down. But it may also be a real pleasure to feel and overcome the difficulty.

VARCHA RC helicopter Setup Clinic and Training event
Culpeper Virgina, USA.
May 20-22 2011

This was the third year that this event has been held.
The weather was great, and about 25 pilots entered the 3-day event.
Mainly, this event is to bring professional pilots to those who want instruction, help, and one-on-one advice on setups of their helicopters.
This year, Nick Maxwell, Bill Jackson, and myself were among the pilots instructing.

Each pilot was at different skill levels, but we worked on pushing their flying limits and improve the setup of each helicopter.
This event is a very good personal event to give instruction to pilots and help everyone learn and improve their skills.

Quebec HELI-FUN Clinic and Fun fly
Quebec City, Canada
June 23-26 2011

This was one of Canada's largest gatherings of helicopters in the province of Quebec.

It took 12 hours driving to get to Quebec.
Because of the poor weather, attendance was less than expected, and about 70 pilots attended.
A large big-top tent was setup to keep everyone dry and to have the setup clinics and question/answer sessions.
We spent many hours sharing information about F3C flying, 3D flight, setup tips and engine tuning.
Despite the rain, we even set up a F3C hovering pad and flags and had a F3C hovering contest using Blade MCPx micro helis inside the tent!

Along with Bill Tinsley, we demonstrated F3C maneuvers, and Class 1 as well to help generate interest in contest flying.
