The years first F3L (RES) rc glider competition took place in Liezen, Austria on April 23, 2022.
For this glider contest we had to fly 4 heats in varying weather conditions to reach the final where 5 rc pilots competed for the top ranks. Here are the highlights and winners!
The day started off with calm spring weather. Weak thermal bubbles enabled the top F3RES competitors to score the required 6 minutes with their high performance model gliders. Landing was quite easy at the start. For the top ranks landing below the 1m mark to the spot and missing the 360 seconds by a maximum of 2 was mandatory!
In the rounds 3 and 4 the winds picked up much and the right tactics, restarts and still landing close to the spot became key to success. Some pilots won their group with flight times below the 2 1/2 minute mark!
In the fly off 5 contestants fought bravely and in the end Harald Helm took the victory. Ralf Petermann won the Styrian F3L championship and Felix Graf succeeded in the youth contest.
Congrats to all winners!
