Greeting Fellow Slope Racers!

Here are the results for F3F at Vincent.  The official start time was delayed from noon to underway at 1:20 pm, having to wait for the wind to switch.  Once direction changed, the wind held from 16 to 22 for most of the day.  This was a good day for Vincent, as thermals were plenty and all seemed to get their share.  

Thirteen pilots started, lost Matt Stober in round one, Mike Sheridan in rd. eight with back planes coming into play with assorted primary problems from others.

Doug Reel climbed the standings from 5th to 2nd after taping one Aileron to an unmovable position somewhere around rd. 5.   A gusty move, turns were still the usual fast and clean Reel style, key to his success was bunches of opposite aileron. J

Newbies Mark Ferreira, Kyle Paulson and Jay Whitley were seen with smiles on their faces, all did very well.  Kyle Paulson, seems to be a natural for F3F and caught on fast with a very nice turning style that improved throughout the comp. Just missed joining the Sub 40 Club by rd eight with a 40.47 in his first event.

Fastest time of the comp was hotly contested with 5 pilots between 36.60 and 38.61, with Dan Field ( that would be me J ) with the 36.60.

Results below, congrats to Cone 3rd, Reel 2nd and Field for 1st.  I probably don’t have all the planes flown correct.

Thanks for all the help, everyone chipped in including hauling some stuff up the hill, it was appreciated.

Special thanks to my eleven year old son Brian for Co- CD’ing. He ran the timer for a good portion of the comp and received many compliments. Thanks guys for the words of encouragement.

Regards,   CD Dan
