[RCSE] F3J World Champs Update

[Jim McCarthy]

It is my understanding that at the conclusion of today's flying the preliminary rounds will be complete.  If that is correct than the USA Juniors have won the team championship.  This is quite an achievement considering that the German team has had a lock on this since their first win in '98. The juniors will have put all 3 team members into the fly-off.   The senior team is also doing well.  With one round yet to fly they are in 3rd place 2.1 points from 2nd.  It appears that the Germans will repeat as team world champions. Both Joe W and Tom Kiesling are battling it out for a fly-off spot.  Currently Joe is 12th and Tom is 14th.  The top 12 will advance.   You can check the scores at:  http://www.rcmklub.sk/wcf3j2006/?item=4   Jim McCarthy
