Lisburn competition on 7th Dec
« on: November 02, 2007, 08:59:35 AM »
Hi guys,

The guys in the north have decided to give F3P (Indoor precision aerobatics) a go and have organised an introductory competition for the evening of Friday Dec 7th. I've attached their flyer. They'll be running a basic non-aerobatic schedule too. I think the main event will be the F3P-C schedule. I haven't tried flying the schedule yet but I plan to enter if I can fly anything vaguely resembling the correct sequence of manoeuvers :o There'll also be F3P-AM (aeromusical routine).

Being on Friday evening I presume it'll be a problem for most of us from Dublin, Cork or elsewhere to make it but I'm going to try.

The well know IMAC pilot Mathew Poots is arranging a F3P and AM event in Lisburn just a few miles outside Belfast Northern Ireland . We are starting with a C shedule as we are all learning both pilots and judges but this has proven to be a hit and we have 20 pilots comitted to fly . Next years event is already being planned , this is how keen we all are to fly F3P.

the F3P-C schedule..... will be the main schedule for pilots !
The entry level or basic schedule...... is for novice fliers who we are encouraging to take part and get interested in F3P !
AM is for everyone to take part and entertain each other and show of there 3d skills to music ! Thanks for the help and i hope no one is confused .


The entry level schedule is:
TAKE OFF
ONE CIRCUIT
LEVEL FLIGHT
FIGURE 8
LOOP
PROCEDURE TURN -RIGHT
PROCEDURE TURN- LEFT
LANDING

The F3P-C is as per the attached Aresti schedule. I better make sure I know how to read it correctly!

Aidan

P.S. Flyer says BMFA insurance required but MACI is fine too.[/quote]

Hi Aidan,
Thanks for the info, but I think you are right, the choice of the day don't make it very easy for us, and certainly lots of people...
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Hi Aidan, just came across this post and again thanks for turning up at lisburn, you guy's certainly added to a great night. the grapevine up North has been overloaded with chat about the event and the longing for indoor FP3 to continue. Not to put pressure on you and your friends but most of use would love the opportunity to travel your direction for a days/nights craic. To keep you up to speed Dungannon club has agreed to host an event late feb early march. At this stage we are looking for a full Saturday event with practice sessions in the morning. if you can pass the word around and ask people to register an interest by emailing fp3.ni@boyds.plus.com We will do our best to let you know the progress and details.
At this early stage the plans are to hold a beginner/novice schedule, AM, F3p-C schedule and FP3-B. there should be something there for everyone.

Adrian
