A F3P contest in Epinay sur Orges was organised by Loïc Haux, Elsa Ribière and their club (Les mouettes) for the second time. It was the first  French contest in a 6.5metres Gymnasium with the new FAI sequence...

For reducing the risk to crash, the organizers had made two modifications on the FAI sequence for this contest:

-The pilots had choice to make the half square loop with half roll, or to made the half roll after the half square loop.

-And the one turn spin wasn't mark by the judges after a request from them, judges think with a coefficient 3 to this manoeuvre and without good notation critere in indoor, spin can be influence classification without good reasons (I agree with they, and I think it was better like that)

But most of pilots had made the half square loop with half roll and the spin without crash...

We arrived in Paris on Saturday afternoon and joined  Sébastien and Cyrille for some training flights in a gymnasium school. Big thanks to Cyrille Carry for this training session. After we went to the hotel for a nice diner with Pascal, Jeremy, Remi, David, Théo...

Elsa Ribière and Loïc Haux a nice couple and also a good organizer team took also part in the contest, Elsa in national class and Loic in international class, thanks to them for the perfect organisation and the very good atmosphere ;-)
