I can proudly say that 2010 year Lithuania open championship was success!!! Even if we had less participants than last year quality of flying improve really noticeable. Also as most of you know we change place of competition, last year hall was nice but have two problems that don't allow to run world class event, it had some obstacles on sides and obvious problem with heating.

Happy new year my dear visitors, here is small present for you, video from Dormund Intermodellbau 2009. I notice i have more video material from competitions/show's i visit in 2009 year than time to edit everything. But i think such top material that we saw in Dortmund Intermodellbau atleast deserves to be shown for everyone!
This weekend i visit competition called UK Electric Indoor Masters. This was my first trip to Great Britain. And i must say it was really well organized interesting event. EIM was held second time by Mr. Andrew Whitehead and his team. This year competition was held in bigger hall with two days instead of one, i think this is real important when you travel long distances, just to have allot of competition flights.
This time to competition i flew not alone, i travel with my dad, we flew from Vilnius to London, where Ian Amazing Watson and Ilja Krug waited for us. Affter two hour drive we reach Leeds and went to hotel. First thig we did is inspect box with planes, thanks god this time there was no damage at all, planes were in perfect condition.
The Hall.
Early saturday morning we came to competition hall (thanks to Bango retarded navigation ;), most of participants already practice beffore competition, only Dutch team was missing at the moment. I flew my pattern plane several times, everything was working well.
Huge hall.

Some planes.
Raffle prizes.

Planes;
This was first competition where i saw other pilots flying my design, Sultimate and Deluxe are quite new planes released just few month ago, so it was pleasure to see our planes are so popular in UK. Without Sultimates and Deluxes there was some other Donuts planes like Elipsia and Elipsia FT, also Top model team flew new Kosmos, + had chance to see already old Jason Noll design Vrolet V3. Without regular F3P and AM models we had few lets say interesting indoor planes. First one you can see is micro Progress with really small modern electronics, RTF weight of this plane is only 25g!
Nice airbrushed planes.
Results:
Top 3 in F3P-A from L to R Carl Olson, Donatas Pauzuolis, Nicolas Pietu.
TOP 3 in AM from L to R, Donatas Pauzuolis, Derk Van Der Vecht, Carl Olson.
