The Swedish indoor championships 2011
The 2011 Swedish indoor champs once again took place in Sätrahallen, Stockholm. The competition was held over two days, with the first day reserved for Nocal, A-6 and trimming.
A-6 has caught on, and had the largest participation with 12 entries. It was nice to see some new names here, and one of those new names, Per Widing, won with excellent flights of about six minutes duration.
In F1D, Mats Licke had built his first F1D, and the number of entries were up from the usual three to five. Jonas Romblad won by a very large margin, his best flight was nearly 30 minutes!
In peanut, we had a healthy entry of 13 models, 9 competitors. The canards by Andrea (Drzewiecki) and Anders (Santos-Dumont)
combined good scale points with duration, and took first and second respectively.
Henrik Tissel's Peck-Polymer BA4B, proxy flown by Tolkstam, placed third. Georg entered an old but exquisite Tiger Moth. It was built for one of the Interscale competitions in Nottingham,
and features Robin Hood as pilot! It placed top
in the scale judgement, but unfortunately it was out of trim, and only made one short flight.
In pistachio, Tolkstam was yet again victorious with his excellent Udet Flamingo. Second place went to Georg with his new Bleriot 25.
In nocal finally, Birgit did not win with her Wittman racer!. Lars Tolkstam made a new larger propeller for his Messerschmitt 108, and as
a result increased his flight times to over three minutes, which was enough to win. Andrea also flew a Me 108, but it broke a wing flying into a wall, and had to be
replaced by her trusty old Bristol Scout.
