It was very windy during all
the competition. Wojciech Birski from Poland flying with Perfect coped with
this conditions very well and won the preliminary rounds. The conditions for
the fly off changed with the wind already reduced and Philip Kolb with Perefect
won the fly off.
At the beginning of the
second fly off round Wojciech had a mid air collision but he decided to keep
flying because the model seemed to be ok.
After 15 minutes he landed
the model and the fin and part of rudder was missing. He managed to
land for 95 points with this model and finished on the 6th position. Also
Philip Kolb congratulated him for this flight and landing:-)

improve the birthday party... as the most of the evenings during all European
championship. There was a great atmosphere that we kept for all of our stay in Trnava. We wish to Jaroslav all the best for his

First flying day of
European Championship started as all the others, but the end of this day
was not so usual. The big whirlwind - tornado rumbled over the camp and
tents full of planes at about 4 pm. WE were very happy that we saved all
planes even if our tents were demolished. Tornado was guided by strong rain
for a long time. It became rivers on the airfield in few minutes.
Unfortunately not everybody was so happy as Czech team. Some models were
damaged and one member of Slovakian team was injured by flying stuff. The
wind was so strong that it damaged many of the tents and also moved the caravans of
the Netherland team. The happy end of this wild event was reason for
celebration in the evening together with our friends from German team.
