This year (almost ending):
I helped Jorge Lozano (master class), Thomer Deshet and Santiago Muñoz (both of them in advanced class) 1st and 2nd - Congrats to them!
My co-pilot in Pereira (June): Santiago Mondragón.
My co-pilot in Cali (October): Tomer Deshet.
I judged very nice flights, first in Pereira (June) Advanced class and In Cali, the F3A category (unpacking the new FAI P21 and FAI F21 routines) and again I learned a lot from the perspective of trying to be a balanced judge (beyond good and evil) and the BIG effort to write the correct qualification.
About Dirty Birdy Gladiator, due it is an uncomfortable machine "hard to fly": Not enough power, no rudder authority, it does not fly well in knife edges and it has some bad aerodynamic habits - it is a design from early 80'.
The good thing is that it requires me very hard, to show the judges at least a decent flight... Fortunately, they can't see the radio control sticks :)
Never be satisfied and always try to be out of the comfort zone (the AC room), applied to any sport or life; my metaphoric zones:
1. Comfort zone: Nothing happens (reverse shift gear).
2. Learning zone: 100% learning.
3. Panic zone: 1000% learning.
4. The light tunnel (be careful, you need a rope): Exponential learning.
Keep a smart practice and see you in 2020!
