Sunday 1st February was the second contest in France with the new FAI F3P-P sequence, it was organised by the F3P French champion Nicolas Pietu and his club, in Clayes Sous Bois near Paris. 40 Pilots was registered: 135 flights all along the day!

Very good organization by the club and good timing thanks to a new way of registering points, technique created by Loic Haux. Congratulations!

We saw many good flights in the national and the novice categories, this means a very good future for the international category in France but also more work for me and other international pilots!

Thanks again to the F3M pilots from Paris, who came to support me, I share my victory with them;-)

Lots of pilots use the Elipsia for the F3P, a new success for the designer Didier Beylard.

A Nexus and the new design from Nicolas Pietu, the Viking, a plane for 3d or pattern.

Very big hall, but some baskets too...

Judges check each notes on a palm during the flights...

...some views of the software in the palm....

...after flight, all notes are send automatically to a central computer and  20 or 30 seconds after your flight (no more), you can see your result...It's crazy!

Loic Haux the man who made the software, with fashion clothes;-),  and Nicolas Pietu before flights (right).

After flights, we exchange ideas about the last flight.
