Good post John.

John, I'm curious, what plane will you be flying? Not the spare you're keeping for me? And nice to see that Jason has persuaded you to try F3a again, doesn't this happen every year and then you remember you like flying fast planes

I'm not looking to compete, so I was just looking for a simple scheduled that would be a challenge, but hopefully doable. I feel the F3a intermediate is so beyond my skill level that I'd never be able to cope, I'd fall to pieces and quiver quietly in the corner... and that's even before contemplating competing, I've heard the stories of stronger men than me loose it as soon as the competition starts, even Chris73 said he had a twinge of nerves before his 1st comp But saying all that, I really love the F3a flying so I want to learn how to fly like that.

When is the Beaulieu date, I'd love to go and watch it.

All the best, Gromit

Don't be so ridiculous Chris...nerves before a toy plane competition?

We are steely eyed toy model men .. as demonstrated at NATS by ex WMAC bloke...



Who came a close second place to the invisible man...



and a bloke in the red shirt who probably needed to visit the portaloo urgently..

Apparently so Dave, it can happen to anyone...

I've just been reading the Take off & Landing judging for F3a, I'd loose loads of points if my current 'style' isn't improved upon. :ohmy:

John, I've printed off the intermediate scheduled, and I'm getting nervous about all the manoeuvres that start with "Push" I prefer the ones that have lots of 'Pull' in them.

I've just seen in the BMFA mag that you don't need a B certificate to compete at Clubman level... you do however need an A certificate.

Looks like you have run out of excuses now Chris

You could take your A cert at anytime

Get practising Chris, the Nationals is on

Weren't we supposed to have a rash or War Birds, JRI's Mig 3, Chris' Focke Wulf, Simon's P47 Razorback, have I missed anyone out? I think I've only seen Simon's fly, what happened to the rest?
