FOUR ON FIVE

This was the best score I have ever seen!

Today I was flying in the Serra d'Arga airfield, when another pilot arrived.
He assembled his airplane and after some (usual) work his trainer got airborne.
15 seconds later, the engine shut off as it wasn't tunned properly. He tried an emergency landing but it crashed against a rock.
But the funniest thing of all were his words "five flights four planes destroyed!".

I've got no more words!

Ps: I've forgotten to take a picture! :S

F3P Competition - Santo Tirso I

This will be the first of several post regarding this competition that took place in the indoor stadium of Santo Tirso. It was the first of this kind in portugal. Ccongratulations to the organisers, that, despite not being professionals, managed to do a very nice job.
This is a snapshot of the place:

Reverse engineer

Reverse engineering is essentially science, using the scientific
method. (Conversely, engineering could be thought of as 'reverse
science').

Serra D'Arga Airfield

And at last, one of the pilots:

Serra D'Arga Airfield - MX12



First time I used my new MX12. If someone has the channel 80 shout out laud before you shoot me down!

Serra D'Arga Airfield - RIO



This airplane had to perform an emergency landing without any consequences. The elevator servo unglued from the fuselage.

Serra D'Arga Airfield - Roaster



This ugly looking electric airplane is a homemade trainer called Roaster. So far it has survived with only one crash (in his maiden flight, almost one year ago). And... Do you know what? It flies!

This weekend I had to buy a new mobilephone. And the winner was a Sony-Ericsson V630i. The price was affordable and it works better than most i've seen.
