Comptetition Highlights
I have flown in a variety of competitions; F3A, IMAC, Scale & Fun Fly, with good success. In the case of F3A & IMAC, I have used relatively simple electric 6S model of approximately 1500mm wingspan competing against far bigger (usually 2m models in F3A & 3m+ models in IMAC!) & more much expensive models. As well as various national events there have been some special highlights - for example:
2020
F3A
Won the first two competitions entered at Clubman level.
Won the National Championship at Intermediate level.
2021
F3A
Won the GBRCAA Championship at Masters Level.
Won the GBRCAA League at Masters (winning 7 competitions)
2022
