F3F Slope Race in Fei Ngo Shan
11 July, 2004

A F3F slope was held in Fei Ngo Shan south-facing slope near the Jat's Incline Peak on Sunday, 11 July 2004. This is the first time an F3F race was ever run in this slope. The slope can provide very good lift in moderate southerly wind. However, landing is quite a bit of challenging and the cost is a high casualty rate! Apart from this, the event 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 southerly wind of average speed of 25km/hr. Totally 13 pilots took part in the race which was started at 11:30pm and ended at 4:00pm. Five rounds of races were completed. The best time is 46.50s by Stanley Chan who also won the race, congratulation! Due to a high accident rate, some pilots can not finish all rounds, what's a pity! HKRCSS would like to thank the sponsors Windrider Aviation Ltd. for their generous support.  Here are the detailed scores of the race:
