Free Flight Festival in Ilbesheim - 2011

We had a wonderful Free Flight Festival in Ilbesheim with 4 events - 2 World CUP contests, sunrise and EUROPA COUPE Revival contests and 3 EURO Challenge contests 2 in F1H and 1 in F1G.
We had a great contest with best results, happy participants but also challenging weather conditions:

Day 1: on Saturday we had to stop the flying at 10”30 after round 1 due strong wind over the limit and can continue after 16”00 till 20”45 the 5 rounds.
Day 2: at 6”00 Fly off and Sunrise in wonderful dead air conditions, at 10”00 EUROPA COUPE Revival at best freeflight contest (very hot and low wind, sometimes round running wind)
Day 3: similar on Sunday morning a break from 9 “00 till 14”00 due to thunderstorm.


We had 162 online - registrations, there of only 2 registration on site. 150 are coming from 23 countries - there of Mongolia, Argentina and USA and all together made nearly 1600 officials flights at this weekend.

It was a huge weekend and we had best support of Ilbesheim local clubs in preparing food, in assistance of infrastructure and a very nice banquet.
I can say, that more or less all people were happy to be in Ilbesheim and speaking about “having long time ago not such a great contest like Ilbesheim “.

After my calculations we had in Ilbesheim in all 3 categories changes of actual World CUP leaders in F1A/B/C:

F1A: New leader Mikhail Kosonozhkin with better 4th result against Roland Koglot.

F1B: New leader Bernd Silz with 3 wins - Andriukov could beat him, but dropped at last flight of Eifelpokal.
F1Q: New leader Andreas Lindner win both contests in Ilbesheim and has now 3 wins.


Best regards
Ansgar
