Rumors say that Martin is planning to attend next year with a model powered by one of his miniature turbines.....I think he was saying something about an F-104 .....

I broke off just before posting about the UK entries and their flights.

So, here are two fo Graham Bantham's Klemm:

The weird background noise in the first video is simply the Swedes singing their national anthem, since one swedish aircraft was in the air. For next time they need a microphone and megaphones.

And here is the A.W. Ensign in flight

And Richard's Fiat CR42 Falco in flight as well

A new model, not yet fully trimmed, yet it performed beautifully.

But, as always with free flight, the models do not always behave as they should... A later flight:

Mats was quick to the rescue...

One of the new models of the event and one everyone wanted to see in flight was Richard's Grumman J2F-6 Duck electric model.

It had already shown some of its potential in trim flights in the UK, but was a real show stopper when it flew in IIFI.

Second round / flight. This time it was Tonda who saved it

Third and fourth flight, both a delight to watch

And since we are in F4E electric, her is another interesting model. Not a new one anymore, but it seems to be unbeatable for many years to come.

Tonda Alfery's Curtiss Condor AT-32C. A twin with fully working retractable under carriage, receives the maximum of flight bonuses at 30%. Coupled with very good flights and a high static score, the total it gets is beyond reach for the rest.

Flight 1 or 2

Flight 3, the highest scoring one

Flight 4, just as good

I arelady mentioned it before, Jir Pavlicek also took videos and has uploaded them on Youtube. Not as many as Jirka Alfery, but he can be forgiven because he also had to fly at the event.

His channel is here

So cool, love the pictures and videos!

Interesting small and temporary wing wobble as the undercarriage is lowered.

[g_kandylakis]

yes, there is. But I am not sure this is because of the landing gear. At this spot I saw plenty of models behaving similarily.

Whether an air current or the model's own slipstream, I do not know.

Or indeed because of the landing gear perhaps not coming down exactly simoultanously?

Second place in F4E electric went to Jiri Dolezel and his Pfalz A-1, third to Richard Crossley and the Grumman Duck and fourth to Martin Huk and his Morane Saulnier parasol "L".

Sadly, no pictures were taken of the Czech models, except the one of the Morane from a distance.

Here they are, flying
