Phew! Today’s music round was the one that decided our fate in the team placings. It really went down to the very last pilot before we knew where we had come. I’m really pleased and immensely proud to say that the GBR F3N team won! It has been a tough week, with a few highs … Read More

The 2024 European F3CN championships are over and we are well on our way home. Yesterday was finals day for F3C and we were fortunate to have both Mark and Steve into the finals which only the top 14 get into. Two rounds were flown to decide the eventual winner. The exciting thing is that … Read More

Another long day though we did get a bit of a lie in this morning due to the rain. The F3C round which was meant to start at 8.30am, didn’t actually get going until 12noon. There was another break for rain for about 1.5 hours and they finally got going again just after 3pm. In … Read More

Today was round 2 of the semi finals and the forecast had been for rain until mid to late morning. We woke up and got ready as planned and yes, it was raining but the forecast was still for it to stop. Ian was the first of us to fly and was in the first … Read More

It was the first of the Finals rounds today (Set Manoeuvres) with the top 10 pilots making it through.

Apologies for the lack of updates but its been very full on for the GBR F3C team. Not only has the flying order meant that the 3 pilots are spread out across the day, but we have also had trouble with one of our vehicles- more on that later! As I am writing this we … Read More

Our round today (Music) was due to start at 3.20pm but a band of rain was forecast for around 4.30 / 5pm so the organisers asked if we minded starting early to try and avoid the rain. We were all at the competition site by 2.55pm having been at the practise site since 9.30am. Luca … Read More

Day 4:  Dave was up first this morning (8am) for the 3rd round (2nd Sets). The winds had picked up again from yesterday (around 16mph) and had completely switched directions, now coming from the ESE. With no clouds in sight, the sun was so bright in front off to the right that I requested the … Read More
