For those who have not already seen this, here is an interesting thread on the FAI's F3M Class.

Thanks for the link.

That is a great write up and very interesting to see what's happening in Europe. They have much more stingent sound rules and fly the "box" like we used to in pattern. I would like to see us work on some of these improvements especially sound in the next year or so. I will be doing some experimenting of my own and let people know the results. Lunch there looks much more appealing!

I would be interested to know, does including the free style in the over all scoring help attract spectators to the contest?

Another recent F3M event held in Switzerland. Check out the electric plane, with red and green smoke!

Would I be right in thinking that the red & green smoke would be made by flares which are lit up before take off & stay on throughout the routine?

He very likely has a switch on his transmitter to ignite the flares. Once lit, they would likely smoke continuously until they run out.
