Today I got the kids all day so my wife could have a "day off". So the kids came with me to the office and to the farm. My 4 year old especially likes to help with a lot of stuff I do, so it made for a fun, but slightly less productive day.

In the end I got 3 FAI practice flights in. I never actually got out of the hover because I was working on the dampening again. I had glued the dampers in last night with a gel epoxy. I was hoping this would make a longer lasting...

Today was the final day of 3D Masters 2010, the 10th anniversary of the event. The morning started off with masters flights to music. Then came the final two rounds for both experts and masters which consisted of the top 5 pilots from the prelimanary rounds. The flying was excellent all day! Unfortunately we had a few rain delays, not only that but it got really cold as well

The winner of the flights to music round was the current leader Kyle Dahl, with Daniel Katzav 2nd,...

Hey Guys,
Sorry for not keeping very up to date on blogs. We arrived home yesterday evening from the trip. The flights home all went well, and luckily no odd cancellations, or any luggage troubles on these flights!

I believe the last blog was after the first day of set maneuvers, so I'll try to pick up from there. Saturday we had the masters Freestyle, and Experts Music/Freestyle. The weather was great, and the helicopters were all running very well! LOTS of good flights were...

Hey guys,

Here a short blog cause tomorrow we have to wake up early for a pilot breifing.

First round was the set manouvers. After the traditional pilot breifing and pictures with the helis the Experts went first. Well it actually seemed that quite a few should take part of the Masters category- High level indeed.
I went to sleep in the car after a rough night, when I woke up there was a rain,wind and all the sun which we enjoyed of just a few hours before was...

Allright, so now im back after a great weekend in Venlo. Had some trouble with internet connections (Zack) and couldnt blog but i will try to mention a few things that happend.

following my last blog from my iphone after wed:

We went back to the flying field at thursday morning and tried to find some Rapicon fuel but ended up buying a gallon of Coolpower, just to test our helis. Had some troubles tuning them, they seemed to be very lean on the high needle and rich...

Well by the power of the iPhone 4 I can give you my quick perspective on the day . With close on 60 competitors and the experts music and freestyle and masters freestyle today was always going to be long day with a lot of flying. But as with the sets yesterday today showed that practice is really what sorts out the really good from the great pilots. There were some well known pilots who you would expect to put fantastic flights in that fell a little short of the mark and some lesser known pilots...
