Whitesheet has always
been a slope where I enjoy sports flying, you can fly for a week and no 2
flights ae the same. When we all arrived
at Sunday’s race we all hoped that we would be the one that got the elusive
thermal and leave the sink to the next guy.
This week I was that next guy!
F3F models look very
different in different air it’s easy to overlook the effect of this and blame
your model or set up, despite those 2 elements combining so well in the weeks
leading up to the race. My only chance
of good air was dashed as the race was paused for 10 minutes whilst the thermal
moved through the course in front of me- sometimes its just not going to be
your day.
Seeing John flying his
Saker and Wyvern into 3rd place does help to remind me of the models
performance and success. It gives me a
huge amount of pleasure to see my design going so well. It also helped to stop me from messing with
my own set up.
Mark Redsell is in a
different league this year and even in these conditions he delivered round
after round. Well flown Mark- that’s the
way to do it!
