I'd like to introduce you to the pilots of the Philippine Team to the 2009 F3C Worlds.This is Justin Paul Neri. He started F3C flying only about two years ago and participated in Hirobo Cup Asia in 2007, and the 2nd F3C Asia-Oceanic Continental Championship (AOCC) last year. He's flying the sst-Freya Eagle 3 VPUS with the SSZ-5 rotorhead, Futaba servos and gyros, YS91SR3 with Funtech F3C pipe, and 12ZH radio.
Our other pilot is Antonio Andre Lua. He started F3C only early this year and had significant improvement over the past months through continuous every day flying, including 1 hr "hovering" practice inside his company premises. Andre will be flying the sst-Freya Eagle 3 SWM AOCC model with the SSZ-5 rotorhead, Futaba gear, YS91ST with Funtech pipe and 14MZ radio.
Both pilots are among the best in the Philippines' very small roster of F3C pilots. They are very dedicated to the hobby and are proud to represent the Filipinos in this sport, where only a few take up the cudgels, as they are willing and determined participants.Justin and Andre are not only good F3C and 3D pilots but they set-up their helis on their own. They're highly technical and meticulous on the aspect of r/c helicopter flight. You can find them posting away at runryder.com and are very active in technical discussions.
They also help a lot of other r/c helicopter (and airplane) flyers in their Club in Cebu City and are currently the most "know-how" guys in Cebu.
Goodluck to our pilots! We know they'll give their 100% for the love of the hobby. That's what we Filipino aeromodellers are made of :)
