August 3D Get-Together Report

[barney]

Just a brief report of the day. Big thanks to Craig, Greig, Jim, Stuart, Graham, Jon for todays organisation.
Turnout was a little poorer than expected with a few of the regulars missing probably due to the holidays.

Weather was condusive to good flying with a tricky but balmy breeze to keep us on our toes. Trex 700's flying virtually dominated the flying as seems to be the norm this season at most fields.

Several pilots were worthy of a special mention.

Craig continues the build on his excellent orientation skills. Matt seems very comfortable flying on the deck with improving transitions. Jon's recent eye prob is hopefully behind him and continues to advance steadily, well done... BUT the most improved Pilot (decided by the pilots present) was none other than our very own Raptorheli2 here on Heliaddicts. Well done Paul a deserving winner.

I will add a few pics shortly once I get them uploaded.

A big thanks again to out Sponsers for this series.

Aurorra, Spartan, Optifuel and Stuart here on Heliaddicts.

thanks guys for the little award. it is graciously accepted and is a great little G up for me just now.

thanks to the guys from aberdeen for hosting the event and i hope we can make the same arrangements next year for the 3d days.

myself and barney have spoken about how to change it up for next year which we will discuss at falkirk and see what the reaction is. remember these days are there to get EVERYONE involved and they have helped the hobby tremendously in the last 2 years i'm sure all will agree.

again thanks to barney for helping to arrange everything and looking forward to the next one already.

cheers
