Ukrainian Competition (May 2008) Report from the 2008 Kyiv Cup Event (Ukraine) by José Goulão |
|
It was ok, the country
is a mix of old and new contrast in all directions, roads,
facilities, cars, etc.
The weather was very
cold and windy.
Was, 32 teams, seniors
and juniors, and this is the most enjoy thing to see, defiantly they
have school of aeromodeling, and provide enthusiasm for the
beginners!
The Jury was made by
masters, KRAM, SURAIEV, AND ONUFRIENKO.
The first round,
D-D ( Russia) get a 3.11 and follow by the Portuguese pair with a
3.12, and several 3.13 and 3,14.
D-D are really a very
good team, and able to get the maximum of the equipment, they reach
a 3.02.2 and a 3.07, and a 6.16.6 in the final, that was very good
to see this times, however they make a lot of high passages to
overtake in all races, they are to good and no need to do this!
Second and third round
in spite of some efforts didn't bring news, only lot of accidents ,
I count more then 15 models crash, some from the wind some for the
enthusiasm, and another for..... to much speed.( I really don't
believe the new rule is enough to stop this speeds)
Some of the good ones
, B-L ( Ukraine) was suffer perhaps no practice and in spite of
conserve the skills, they didn't get the semis, also Z-S ( Ukraine)
Sosnosky also as a new engine made by him.
His contact is:
sosnovskiy-f2c@rambler.ru
In the semis, put 3
good teams in a very good final, and it was, in spite of 3 place A-V
( Russia), was the ( and for me still) most correct pilot! S-Y
(Russia) made also a very good final and get a very good result with
the new Yugov, 3.08 in the semis!
We, in spite of have
some potential to get the final, had some problems in the screw of
the head and the engine decompressed during the run, so was with lot
of effort that we finish 8 place.
A point to Hungary who
come from the 10 place and reach a 4 place with a 3.16. The new full
carbon model is very performance and the wing is very good!
F-A ( Hungary), have,
in my opinion have the best carbon wing I have see so far, made by
them! Also their retract system ( is a improvement of Gumeny system)
is very good. They sale this for a good price, for the work it
gives! Contact

us some fuel for the competition!
