Congratulations to John Parker with his 1st place at the 3D Masters. John won the Sportsmans category flying his Voyager 50 machine. John flew an impressive display and showed his potential for the Expert Category next year. We wish him the best of luck!

Adam Wells was 1st in Sportsmans flying a JR Vigor CS.

Mark Christy and Robert Mott were 1st and 2nd in FAI flying a Vigor CS and Sylphide 90. Both Mark and Robert were running JR PCM 10X transmitters. Mark used the new G490T gyro whilst Robert relied on a G6000T for tail control.
