1991 F3A World Championship in Australia

[@ripmax333]

The 90's were the Golden Age of RC Aeromodelling IMO.

Les plus belles et les plus grandes années du modélisme des avions souvent construits en famille ....,!et qui évoluaient au Fil des Saisons comme ceux de prettner , Matt., Laffitte Marot..et bien d'autres .....etc. etc Les programmes des figures les enchaînements les vitesses étaient plus rapide La taille des modèles étaient Raisonnable . De nos jours le gigantisme prédomine largement et les avions sont bien moins élégants qu'un Calypso un currare un match 1 etc. etc Merci pour ce très beau reportage vidéo

Les avions F3A évoluent en fonction des programmes qui changent tous les 2ans. Actuellement il faut un modèle qui soit extrêmement performant en vol tranche d'où la hauteur des fuselages et le grand nombre de biplans.

The good ole days when there were still proper pattern planes.

[@saito125]

@bplr2276, are you related to cplr? Who filmed this? Such Gold! Thank you for posting this!

[@bplr2276]

Thanks a lot. I am Christophe's brother and he made this film.

[@kenrice6999]

@bplr2276 , outstanding! I saw your brother fly in one of the TOC's, he is an amazingly skilled pilot! Great video, I'm glad you guys shared it. It brings back many good memories of my old pattern flying days.

I guess back in '91, that guy at the end doing 3D with the chopper probably blew everyones mind.

[@Animal1290]

I believe it's Curtiss Youngblood, The Godfather of RC heli 3D flying !

[@bplr2276]

@@Animal1290 Exactly !

[@LaurentLombardMusic]

Précieux souvenir!

[@llamont2336]

Does the first plane belong to Quique Somenzini?

[@bplr2276]

Yes exactly

[@Esteban-lj8sn]

[@mithrandir1313]

those planes look anorexic compared to todays planes... (I had a Jekyl in 1992... sweet flyer!)

[@stevendegiorgio3143]

I can't believe all that noise those piylon planes make and today my V900 with a 1260kv motor and 3 cell lipo,I can fly much faster without all that equipment and noise.Just plug my batteries in and I'm flying 120 mph with an epo foam sport/pattern aircraft.How times have changed.Im also flying on 2048 resolution on 2.4 DSMX radios.
