The traditional annual
indoor meeting in Wissous took place on January, 5th,
2003.
Due to bad weather
conditions, the number of pilots attending (and the
audience) was less than usual but the regular ones were
there (thanks a lot to all of them) : Jean-Yves Martin and
Gérard Jumelin with their "Variantes" (top left),
Christian Veyssière and all his family (talking with
Gerard - top right), Francis Tallar (bottom right with a
beautiful 42 gram Fokker D-VII), Didier Galimand, Pascal
Bourguignon, Jean-Marie Piednoir, etc... And believe me, it
was worthwhile.
Lightness was the keynote
of this meeting. Beyond the traditional indoor planes, with
a splendid Cri-Cri, we had no less than 4 micro-models using
actuators : The Fokker from Francis (42 grams) and my
Huntington H-12 (27 grams), both using the RFFS-100
equipment from Dynamics Unlimited, an Ultra-Light Stick
plane from Christian Veyssière (using Rick Ruijsink's
equipment) and "Variante", a 29 gram Horten Wing from the
JMP team (of course, using JMP equipment).
