First, congratulations to our own, John and Mark, for placing well considering the situation second congratulations to all the winners and participants, from John's description not only it was a competition event but also a fun one also.

Default Re: European XFC in the bag.

I was lucky enough to see EXFC semifinals and finals live, and must say what a GREAT EVENT Exfc was! I have to participate there after one year for sure !!! This year i saw very hi level flying, all semifinalist putt outstanding routines with super hard maneuvers, few years ago not much top pilots could make them with foamies not talking about 35-40% planes...
In my opinion most spectacular flying was made by Gernot and competitors from USA and Israel, these guys flew borrowed planes , and knowing this routines looked pretty smooth, also EXTREME rolling harriers/ loops inches from ground sure gave WOW points !!!
Also im very happy that i meet in person few RC friends, Jens, John and Ido with Adi, must say all of them are top freestyle pilots but whats more important all are super nice persons!!! Guys looking forward to compete with you next year!
I have, John, Gernot, Seba and Mark routines on tape, soon i will post them on my homepage and here on FG.

By the way i must say i was VERY impressed with less known pilots (Alex, Axel, Fabien, Filippo, Alberto and Daniel) flights, new generation of QS's is here!
