August 1st, F1P-Day
Jury Report - Gerhard Woebbeking
 

The finest weather was reserved for the power classification. Never during the Championships the sky was that clean and blue, with almost no wind despite long lasting drifts caused by strong thermals. The organiser got a forecast of wind from the East and moved the flightline perpendicular to that for F1B, wisely leaving some space for crashing models.

 

17 competitors out of seven nations flew. Czech Republic recruited Michal Berek, showing good performance with a design of its own. The eights pole was reserved for Cody Secor (USA), the 2006 Junior World Champion. While Chinmay Jaju, who replaced him in the US-team, flew with the well known “Astro Star” and its typical spiral climb, Cody brought a whole stable of a brand new state-of-the-art design with tapered two panel wingtips. They were covered with read and yellow Icarex – the eye catching beauties at the field. Ukraine, Russia and Germany stuck by their well known and well used models. The models of the Polish team looked like the ones they turned up with in 2006, but they weren’t. They employed still silver Mylar coverage and still their typical long carbon fuselages. But slightly tapered wings and less weight combined with a good glide made them very competitive contest machines, probably the best of the champs!

 

Any inconsistent climb of the Polish, but as well of the German and Ukraine models, had disappeared. All teams showed a standard of trimming which left almost nothing to be desired. Straight or spiralling – the screaming “Cylon” pulled them all up with a cheap APC or a folding carbon prop at the busy front. Within seven seconds they reached heights, which some years ago nobody had believed. Just the transition to the glide could still be improved, and Maksim Revazov of Russia as well as Brian Pacelli were victims of dropped flights  because of an undercutting pattern after a deep dive from a high top (jammed VIT)?

 

More became victims of the tricky thermals. With almost no moving air neither a thermistor nor streamers prevented of wrong judgement. In the avoiding of mistakes the Polish were the clear masters; Maciej Karczmarczyk made the flyoff together with his team-mate Partryk Stras, the team took his gold medal by the small margin of only two seconds. Second became Ukraine, followed by Russia, both without a pilot in the fly-off. Beside of the Polish it was composed of Cody Secor and Johannes Seren (GER), who had made the F1A-flyoff as well. Cody’s model was always early and high up before it DT’ed, Johannes maxed out after a flight in the last minutes of round 7, not to take care of the nerves of the sympathizers.

 

According to the prevailing rules the flyoff went on with increments of the maximum of one minute. Just Patriyk Stras missed the 4 minutes flown at 19.00 h, leaving three flyers for 5 minutes at 19.45 h. Johannes went last, and landed at 4:35 min, despite Team Manager and father Paul Seren claimed to have chosen better air. 20.35 h Cody and Maciej launched early in the 10 minutes period for 6 minutes maxes, both gliding down in the increasing wind from Southeast and making it in the very distance. Without a final decision, the fourth flyoff had to be postponed to the next morning. At six o’clock Cody was first out with his model flying over the village, Maciej followed close after, showing a perfect glide. But his model went out of sight behind a row of high trees – losing 20 seconds to the winning time of Cody (5:32 min). The American became Junior World Champion F1P a second time in a row, marking a worthy end of most remarkable World Championship.

For the flyers that want to fly their Vintage FAI models
along with the modern FAI models we have decided to hold several Vintage events
for you at the California Invitational and the Sierra Cup. Juan Livotto and Mike McKeever have agreed
for Hector Diez and myself to run these events along with their F1GHJ events at
each contest. Set aside October 5thth for dusting off your Vintage models and bring them to Lost
Hills for some fun in the fall weather of Lost Hills 
  
On the second day of the California Invitational contest at
Lost Hills we will be holding a contest for Vintage FAI Power, Vintage A/2
Nordic and Nostalgia Wakefield.
  
The present rules listed on the Vintage web site; www.faipower.com will be used for the power
event. The Nordic event will require a
model to be straight towed; no moving tow hook allowed along with no composites
structures. The only item on the model
that maybe constructed from composites / aluminum is the tailboom. Total area and weight must meet the present
FAI rules. The Wakefield event will use the present NFFS
Nostalgia rules.
  
This will be a five round contest starting at10:00am on
October 5th. All flights will
be 180 seconds and flyoffs times to be determined
