... or is it awfully quiet regarding the F3J world
championships? 

Big congrats to the US Juniors  Nice job guys!
Congrats to the US Team! Nice job guys!
Way to go David!

Most of you will never know the amount of commitment
and effort that goes into representing your country at
a world champs. It's done at a great deal of personal
expense, time, and energy. It has certainly sucked the
modelling energy out of me... ;-)

Every pilot who even gets to a World Championship is a
winner in my book... I know... sounds cliche... but
it's very true. Make sure, if you run into one of the
guys on the team to thank them, congratulate them, and
give them a Hero's welcome home!

Congrats to all who competed!!!

Yeah, here here Team US ! You guys did a great job.

Hope you all had a great time in Slovakia

Congratulations and have a safe trip back.

This is the Olympics of our hobby/sport. Your dedication and
commitment is greatly appreciated.

I watched along on the website and tried to visualize the conditions
and the event. The organizers did a great job of getting the news
out. Some of the translations were funny, but the point came
across loud and clear. The Photo's were the best way to stay
connected.

I agree with Daryl, give these guys the pats on the back they
deserve.

Shout out to Team AussieNice job David, and hello Matt. Saw
you in some of the photo's, hope you guys had a fun time...

Hope to see you all soon.

Mike

Daryl.
My very thoughts. I was just thinking of the dozens of posts that
would have come, had Joe or Tom won. As it is, your junior team flew
fantastically, as did the seniors.
A real tough comp, when you look at the round by round scores. The pilots
had to fly pretty well perfect rounds - round after round, after round.
Davids last flight, where he had a mid air, and came in with a dislodged
wing tip and other damage to nail the spot, must have been great to watch.
There were some frantic calculations going on, to see if he needed to
relaunch.  In the end he secured the WC by around 40 points. A terrific
effort, and one to be applauded and praised.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - oi, oi, oi.  :)
As you say, the Canadians and the rest of the world were tough competition.
Congrats to all the pilots, for achieving the levels required to fly in a
world champs.

... or is it awfully quiet regarding the F3J world
championships? 

My previous response didn't seem to go to the list, so...
Well done to all the F3J participants, from wherever. It was exciting following 
the F3J, even though the only news was from the website and the pix.

It's really marvelous that we have such great Juniors coming up in the U.S. 
Bodes well for the future.

Congratulations to David Hobby, who won in convincing fashion, the only 
competitor to max out the flyoffs (all 15 min rounds). And to Philip Kolb, who 
presumed to be able to improve on Dr. Quabeck's WC design and apparently 
succeeded. And to Joe, who flew great as always. And to Skip and Tom, who 
represented our country like champs.

Canada, Australia, Czech Republic, and Germany all placed two flyers in the 
finals. That's a high standard! 

84 flyers from 30 countries participated. Their commitment and effort benefits 
all of us. It's not just the improvements in planes - there are fallout 
benefits when governments consider frequency allotments, flight regulations, 
and other potential threats to our flying. And the whole scenario of amateurs 
traveling across continents to compete without big-bucks corporate sponsorship 
or TV cameras is just a nice thing to contemplate. No steroids, no referee 
scandals; just a bunch of champion modelers in a field in Slovakia flying their 
planes.

Or how about the zero posts recognizing the winner...and the REST OF THE 
WORLD;


Congrats to DAVID HOBBY for demonstrating it was talent and expertise 
that made for a repeat.


Congrats to SEBASTIAN FEIGL of GERMANY for taking second on the world.

OR THE CANADIANS; specifically AREND BORST for leading throughout the 
ENTIRE event leading up to the fly-offs, and ROLF OETTER for making the 
top 3 prior to the fly-offs and then kicking ass and placing 3rd overall 
in the world. GREAT FLYING BOYS!!!


AND FINALLY...congrats to the Joe Wurts for taking 4TH OVERALL and the 
rest of the contestants, and the Juniors for bringing home the cup...
