The food was good and sufficient. Lunch packets were distributed in the mine. A bar had been set at the other end of the flying room (150 m) with tables and chairs, and light. Warm drinks were available at any time. Toilets were also available, but should be improved for next time.

A Championship was also organised for juniors : Only Romania had a full team and France : one competitor
Contest organisation
The competition was very well organised. The flying conditions in the salt mine are excellent, equal for everybody at any time.

The timekeeping was very good.
Protests
There was no problem and no protest.
Observations
The day after the Championship an open contest was organised. 27 competitors from the same countries took part (among them 7 juniors).
Conclusion
- The Flying site, in the salt mine, is now under the responsibility of the Federatia Romana of Modelism , and is available at any time for any country who wants to use it for organising competition or practice flying sessions.
- The Federatia Romana of Modelism should be congratulated for a very good Championship.
- It is a pity that so few countries participated: this is not good for F1D class, and not encouraging organisers in the future.
- May be a World Cup for F1D class would give more activity in this beautiful category.
