Great Britain R/C Aerobatic Association
LARKS 2 day event at the Leicester club field Market Harborough, 24th 25th July 2004
The first competition in the UK where the FAI pilots flew 2 rounds of the PO5 schedule, 2 rounds of the FO5 schedule and two rounds of an unknown schedule. The FAI pilots picked the manoeuvres at the close of flying on the Saturday and flew the schedule without practice on Sunday.
Relaxing a while after some quick adjustments!
Above - Mr Cool - Power, has found more than one use for it
Prepared for a typical British comp
Below - The FAI pilots choose their manoeuvres for the unknown schedule to be flown in rounds 5 and 6
Laughter was heard to come from the tent on many occasions, but I think it was nervous laughter even from the most experienced pilots, but the chief judge seems to be enjoying himself.
Everything was fully discussed
Another nervous moment
