Junior World Champs – comments from a distance

The Champs are over, and hopefully everyone and their model boxes have found their way home.  As Per said above the weather was a bit challenging and there were a few other issues to but for the first FF Championship in some years the organizers achieved to objective , a festival for Free Flight with good sporting result.  Us people watching and supporting from a far would have liked to see more on the internet. The press plans were upset by covid and zoom meetings but Ian Kaynes reports that the FFTSC is already addressing the issues for future events.  Circumstances have changed since the 2019 Champs at Lost Hills and we need to adapt to the new normal..
In spite of slightly reduced participation the event was still a great celebration of youth and Free Flight.  We are fortunate to have in our community a number a very accomplished musicians.  I have enjoyed listening to the music of Andy Crisp (UK) and Dave Rounsaville (USA) and those in at Lost Hills in 2019 would have enjoyed the music lead by Ken Bauer from the USA and the singing by the young lady from Australia (apologies for forgetting her name).  We were happy to see the musical tradition continuing with music video by Yael Goldstein from the USA.  This had been on FaceBook and many people would have seen it in Free Flight group. Not sure if it will work for everyone but here is the link to the FaceBook posting . Be sure to follow the words on the video.

FAI Events at the USA Nats

Roger,
I collected the FAI results the Nationals last week for the FAI events.
Participation was low due to the high gas prices and overlapping
the junior world championship in Bulgaria. COVID was also in the
background.
