Your funniest (weirdest, craziest,…) moment as a F3B pilot?
Among many maybe Herten 2004(?), when big static charge built up in a thunderstorm pre-stage – and sparks were suddenly forming at our long 32 MHz boom antennas, while Heinz-Dirk Landsmann was complaining about “No receiption…!”. And our (relatively long;) hair was standing up like a brush – so damn close to desaster…!
What is the most important thing a F3B rookie should know?
Rely on your observations and intuition – and try to combine them accurately.
Hobbies
Running, cycling (ultra distances) – besides developing and flying models, of course 😉
Personal Motto
Never give up
