Canadian F5D Team Trial

The CompetitorsThe team trial to select a team to represent Canada at the 2004 World Championships was held at the CMPRA field on Saturday 27th September. With just four entrants competing for three places, it was always going to be about not making a mistake rather than being fast. The picture (right) shows the competitors, from left to right, they are: David Sawers, Igor Lekomtsev, Roy Andrassy and Peter Thannhauser.

Roy with caller Jim HendersonFour rounds were flown with one time discarded. Commiserations are due to Peter Thannhauser who had two bad launches he couldn't fly away from which meant one of his 300 scores had to count. Congratulations are due to Roy Andrassy, David Sawers and Igor Lekomtsev. Apart from Igor, we were all flying Avionik D-99's with zapped (and mostly unmatched) 9-1700 NiCd packs. Igor was using an Avionik D-2000 with a homemade motor and 9-1300 NiCds. Results are below. Click the link to see the Statistics of who flew what. We have much work to do before next Summer!
