SEMI-FINALS


Windy and cold day for these semi-finals ... we had 8.5 m/s at 9.30 am . Christophe was the first to fly on flight line 1. Fabien was on flight line 2. Both flew well in very windy conditions. Loïc on flight line 1 had a very good start on his first F 13 flight, but had an engine stopped at the third maneuver  .... engine too lean and engine mount loose. So after some adjustments supervised by Christophe and M. Yamada, we went to a practice site 5 mn from the championship site for a flight test.  Back to the competition site after the lunch break, Loïc had a good fight, but  CPLR put a very good one, scoring 550 points. Fabien too improved his flight on the other panel. Semi-finals were completed by 4 pm and we had the Finalists, Judges and Team Managers meeting at 5 pm. Tomorrow we are expecting less wind and better flying conditions for the Finals.
