Cyprus open 2005 - results - pictures
We had a great time at Cyprus, everything was super and free of charge. Organization of the competition was also very good. Lot of food and drinks for all the day. They took the boxes with models to the hotel with a large truck. The accomodation was in a 5 star hotel on the coast (1 night 225 USD/person).
But the conditions durind the competition were very difficult. We had to fly very far with not very strong thermals. Results are as following:
1. Reinhard Valant Europia GER
2. Jan Kohout PIKE Superior x-tail CZE
3. Joe Wurst Icon USA
4. Vítězslav Štěrba PIKE Superior x-tail CZE
5. Skip MIller PIKE Superior x-tails USA
6. Neil Jones PIKE Superior v-tail GBP
Unfortunately David Hobby was not there. One of the competitors told us that F3J becomes more fair. When we asked him why, he told us that all pilots start to fly with the same model, he was talking about Superior :-)
Well half of the pilots were flying with Superior.
1st price was 1 week stay in luxury hotel + air tickets
2nd price was MC 24
3rd was PIKE Superior
The only one trouble was with small distances between the spots (about 8 m) so there was a lot of crashes (also minimum 4 Superiors). Thanks to North Cyprus Aviation Association for organization and invitation to such a great event. It was very nice to meet F3J filots from many countries and nice diversification of winter season.
