Prvá súťaž podľa pravidiel FXJ v Grécku
------------------
Competitions FXJ-200m (May 17-th 2009 - GRECE)

Short review from Charalampos Parastatidis:

At May 17-th 2009 we made the first F5J- GR race at Thessaloniki with the use of an altimeter (ALTMR1), which was created, by Basilis Papadopoulos (one member of our club at Thessaloniki and friend of mine). This ALTMR1 stops the motor at 200m high or (if you don't gain the 200m), at 30sec of motor run. After the motor cut of, there is no possibility to restart the motor. So the competitor must have the appropriate set up for gain 200m into 30sec and than searching for the thermal to stay 10 min on the sky.

The race was very successful and all the competitors were very enthusiasts with the operation of ALTMR1

Sedemnásteho mája sme mali prvú F5J-GR súťaž s výškomermi ALTMR1 v Tessalonikách. Výškový spínač skonštruoval Basilis Papdopoulos (člen nášho klubu a môj priateľ). Tento ALTMR1 zastaví motor vo výške 200 m alebo ( keď model ešte nedosiahol 200 m), po 30 sekundách chodu motora. Po vypnutí motora už tento nemožno reštartovať. Súťažiaci teda musí využiť termiku, aby zostal vo vzduchu po dobu 10 minút.
Súťaž mala u súťažiacich úspech a všetci sú nadšení tým, ako ALMR1 funguje.

NOTE:
I hope, we will meet FXJ competitors from Grece in our First International FXJ meeting in July 10th 2009 in Holic too.
