F3F Slope Race in Clearwater Bay
2 March, 2003

A F3F slope was originally scheduled to be held in Fei Ngo Shan east-facing slope on Sunday, 2 March 2003 but was re-located to Clearwater Bay due to heavy fog on the mountain top. This is the first time an F3F race was ever run in the populous Clearwater Bay east-facing slope. The difficulty to hold a competition in Clearwater Bay of course is the limited air space available and also there are too many other slope flyers around. Anyway, the race was a success and we would like to thank the enthusiastic helpers and r/c soarers for their supports. Here is a short report:  The weather was generally fine with moderate easterly wind of average speed of 15km/hr. Totally 19 pilots took part in the race which was started at 12:30pm and ended at 5:15pm. Five rounds of races were completed. The best time is 61.81s by K.Y. Mak who also won the race, congratulation! However, due to a high accident rate, some pilots can not finish all rounds, what's a pity! HKRCSS would like to thank the sponsor Windrider Aviation Ltd. for their support.  Here are the detailed scores of the race:
