2011 F3A W/C`s SA Team – Team Managers Report




The team of Andre` Stockwell, Pierre Marais and Marc Wolffe was selected following due
process and confirmed towards the end of October 2010.

This was the most experienced team in recent years with the members having each
competed in at least two previous world championships.

The revised selection process increased the preparation time available, which benefitted the
team as some early setbacks required new models to be acquired and prepared, as well as
increasing the available training times.

In addition to the training program we were able to have multiple International Champion,
Wolfgang Matt, visit, do some training of the team and compete in our 2011 Nationals. The
team members were able to match his performance and we were confident of a good
placing at the W/C`s. ...

The full report is here.

World Jet Masters


Dear All,

It is now 7h50 Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio. Last night was the closing ceremony and banquet at the USAF Museum.

The results were announced and Dylan Roberts achieved a 4th place overhaul in the 20kg class which I think is a phenomenal achievement. He competed against the 42 top jet pilots in the world after he and his plane was battered by the storm and also dealing with a horrible cold. Well done Dylan we are really proud of you!

With a semi-scale plane Mark managed a 28th place, his flight scores were brilliant but was obviously let down by not scoring a good static score.

Everybody will start traveling back today and tomorrow, so we see you back in South Africa.

Kind Regards,

Marthinus JF Potgieter



Congratulations to Dylan for a job well done under difficult conditions.
Regards
Percy
