The day was dramatical. Stephane Carrier from France lost both of his Oxalys planes because of radio interference problems. His planes went into fail-safe mode on both of his semifinal flights and crashed uncontrolled into ground. Very sad incident because he flew very well and would have definitely managed to go into finals.

In addition to F3A flying, there were nice show flights during the lunch brake. The show included a jet with turbine motor, gliders with 6m wingspan starting both with electric motors and aerotowing, and 3m Katana-s with 4 electric motors plus huge pack of lipos. In addition we saw a depron plane which can fly both forward and backward. Photos by Juho Karppinen.

EC 2006 – Fourth Round

Published on 31.8.2006 in Photos and Events.

The fourth and the last preliminary round. The weather was much better but very cold. Even some snow had been raining on top of near mountains creating true Alpine landscape.

Our day started early since Lassi’s turn was third and the round started at 7.00am. It was dark when we started assemblying planes on the airfield. But the sunrise looked great with white mountains on the background. Photographer Juho Karppinen.

EC 2006 – Second Raining Day

Published on 28.8.2006 in Photos and Events.

The second competition day was again rainy.

After yesterdays humidity Lassi’s plane was out of trim and made his flying difficult. Even it was raining hard during the evening, we went to a practise site to make some trimming flights. Pictures taken by Juho Karppinen.

EC 2006 – Day 1

Published on 27.8.2006 in Photos and Events.

The first competition day was flown on Sunday in rainy conditions. It was raining practically the whole day but clouds were high and didn’t cause much troubles for competition. The day was completed almost in schedule but everything was soaking wet and the field had turned into mud. The weather forecast doesn’t expect better conditions until Thursday. Photographer was Juho Karppinen.

EC 2006 – Official Practise Day

Published on 26.8.2006 in Photos and Events.

Official practise took place on Saturday and we were able to get used to the contest site. Mountains behind the airfield offered interesting experience for pilots not used to such landscape. However, flying in front of mountains was easier than we first expected.

The sun was shining almost the whole day but it started raining just before the last flights. After a small delay flying could be continued and opening ceremony started almost on time. Photos were taken by Juho Karppinen.
