Info for Ilbesheim contest series August 19- 22th, 2011
World Cup IKARUS-CUP, DÄDALUS CUP and Europe Coupe Revival
Dear free flight friends,
Although we are already into the fourth week of the New Year, I would like to wish you all great happiness, health, and lots of thermals and maxes for the 2011 season.
You have seen on the FAI international WC schedule, our new 2 World Cup contests IKARUS - CUP and DÄDALUS of Switzerland on August, 19 -21th2011 will take place in Ilbesheim/ Germany (50 km southwest of Frankfurt/ Main). In addition, we will also fly the Europe Coupe Revival contest in the following classes without European/- World Championships status F1G, F1H, F1H(N), F1A Low Tec, F1B Low Tecand F1H Low Tec as unofficial open European-Championships.
Here is a little bit of history for all non Europeans and younger free flight participants: Europe Coupe Saar was a tradional free flight contest of Aero Club Saar, starting in 1954, and held every 2nd year between the World Championship. The official FAI status as European championships started in 1970. The last time this contest officially had the title “European Championship” was in 1976, then starting in 1978 the Euro Champs rotated around European countries. You can say that the Europe Coupe Saar was the precursor to the actual European Championships - so in F1G there exists a Euro Challenge Trophy and same should be implemented into F1H this year. Perhaps in the future, the classes F1G, F1H, and F1Q will also be part of the FAI European and World Championships. As clarification, especially for non-European free flight sportsmen, even though we have the word “Europe” in our contest name, this event is an open to all contestants regardless of country or origin or citizenship. With our Europe Coupe Revival we want to recapture the spirit of this historic contest. So please join us for a true revival of international sportsmanship and camaraderie.
As well as bringing your modern models for the IKARUS and DÄDALUS World Cup events, I'm sure, every one of you has older models in the cellar, and should bring them along to let them fly in a contest "like in the old days", this is the main task of this event. Also camping will be possible around the small vineyard village and a banquet will be held on Saturday evening to allow all members of the global free flight community to socialize, network, and discuss the future of our sport.
Initial information is published on the internet www.creasus.com/ikarus, which will be updated with more details in the next weeks.
As organizer of this new event, it would be very helpful to have a preliminary overview about your interest in our contests, especially the Europe Coupe Revival. Hence we ask you to give us as some early feedback only for information and organizing efforts.
