Vincent F3F 8/19/01 Race Results

 Updated 08/20/01

 

6 pilots - 15 rounds
3 throw out rounds

The wind was already blowing when at 10:30am
We also chose to fly two rounds per flight to
speed things up just a little. We got in a good routine
early, worked well. In the early rounds the thermals were
pretty strong and stayed on course. As the day wore on, the
thermals became less intense and blew threw much quicker,
so if you were lucky, you got a thermal to start, sink
in the middle and another thermal to finish fast.  Some
times you were not so lucky.
Carnage: Bill Del Hagen stuck a flap servo landing
after round 13.  Colin Craft tried a high speed inverted
landing after round 13, crash damage will appear soon
on ThudMeister.com  Both pilots flew the "Stung" in rounds
14 and 15, my choice, beats climbing the hill to get the
spare planes.
The spreadsheet can be found here.
Steve Drake awarded a GULP foamie to what we thought was
the winner, Bill Del Hagen, sorry Bill, you flew well
but Dan and Colin had some whopper throw out rounds. This
