Want to fly at the Bwlch
in South Wales, where F3F records are broken time and time again... Remember the Welsh Open last year? Well it's
that time again.
Prizes
You lucky people!
Thanks to the wonderful people at DS Model you could become the proud owner of an Ocelot. But it's not
just any Ocelot - look at this!
There's also a very good chance that Cubitt's Models will come up with some of their much sought after
goody bags.
How to enter
Send me an e-mail with your name, 35mhz
frequency and confirmation that you hold valid insurance. Entry closes on 1 August.
Teams
There will be a trophy for each member of the top three man team. You do not have to
fly as a team, but if you want to, either include your team details when you enter or get
them to me by 1 August.
Entry fee
We haven't calculated this yet. We need to cover the expenses of land usage,
trophies, Eurotour fees etc. and will do the maths soon and post details here. Expect it
to be in the region of £15 and you won't need to pay until you arrive.
The event
Each day you must be at the Bwlch T junction of the A4107 and A4061 (map here http://www.knewt.com/bwlch/thebwlch.htm
) by 8.00 in time for a 9:00 start. Each day the last round in progress will be that
running at 17:30. If the conditions are light and a round started before 17:30 is unlikely
to be completely finished that day the Competition Director will consider using group
scoring so that we don't lose several hours of competition time. Group scoring will be a
last resort, and will not be used if at all possible.
Banquet
We are organising a get together on the Saturday night. More details soon.
Additional information
Bases will be set back as far as possible, this will allow the safety line to go back a
little also. The bases will be marked in the normal forward position by an additional
marker.
Three models per competitor are allowable.
There will be no rotation of flying order,
other than the flying order will be entirely reversed on day two.
There will only be 30 seconds ready time.
Turn judges will be very
strongly instructed to acknowledge any errors and the pilot will refly
immediately. We all know that some apparently late buzzes are just great flying, others
are turn judge error and it is this that we want to acknowledge and eradicate in a
supportive way for the turn judge. This worked very well last year and we are keen to
build on that success.
We have been very lucky to be very
generously sponsored in the past. Please e-mail
if you want your products to be part of the biggest annual F3F event on the planet.
