Title: F1D World Championships - results

For those interested - here are some links to:

Congrats to Brett Sanborn and Team USA for an outstanding win.
Kang - three time World Champ and regular contributor back in the old HPA site days made a late charge and went from second last to second to top. The UK flyers did well also. I used to fly this category and spent some of my weekend watching the live updates and socials etc while rebuilding a coupe fuse  :)  ;D Here's me at Slanic in 2014 trying to recruit Kang to the Aussie team... didn't succeed  ;D

And a pic of winner Brett Sanborn who put in some incredible flight times - getting close to the 30min mark again. Many more pics via the links in the first post.

And a better look at Brett's winning design - quite different to most conventional designs - elliptical dihedral is something he's worked on since seeing the models of Lutz Schram who won in 2012. Many great pics included in the links above.
