F3B team trails at Groen Goud

The flight line At Groengoud on Saturday


The Team selection for next years F3B word Championships took place on Saturday. After a lot of rain recently the weather turn out just about perfect on the day. The BERG team managed 5th (Derek) and myself in 8th place .
A full report will be posted this week on the RSA F3B blog. During the day I managed take a some pictures for the BERG blog.
I had to stop flying in Round 6 after I lost elevator authority due to a dislocate pin on the V tail and only just managed to land safely after a 3 min struggle to get the glider down.


The CD for the event (Evan Shaw).

Unfortunately started to signal randomly in round 6 but we managed to see the last round
out.

Many thanks to all my helpers from BERG Johan, Lauraine, Rudolf ,Klaus and all the Other helpers at base B for signaling. Without their help we could not have run the Trails.

Also to Martie for providing lunch, cold drinks and snacks during the day.

Thanks once again Ladies and Guy's .
