1st City of Cirič World Cup
 

 " Carlo SALVI Trophy " 
valid as F2B WORLD CUP 1998

and as Italian F2B National Championship

The Scuola Modellismo Cirič this year has decided to organize together with the Italian Championship an appointment for the  F 2 B World Cup to start a new International experience in the F 2 B competition.
Due to some unlucky coincidence (e.g. Switzerland National Competition overlapping, French Air Shows, etc.) the International participation was poor and limited to only  an Austrian  competitor " Walter WEINSEISEN" , anyway we hope that he and more foreign Stunt fliers on the wave of this edition will attend the next year issue.
The Organization Committee in order to satisfy  both Italian / International  judge panel requirements, substituted the typical National judge panel (5 judge), by a formation of 4 Italian and one International, this year was Mrs. Bernadette GILBERT which is also member of the judge panel at the August World Championship in Kiev.
Nevertheless the experience was good  for the organization point of view and specially for the Italian competitors which  as my personal judgment needs much more International exchange experience.
Competitors arrived at the field from Friday 24th , and Saturday 25th , morning in order to verify the flight site, climatic condition typically affected by some turbulence which did not allow  the participants to demonstrate all their power.
On Saturday 25th,  afternoon competitions start on time (15:00) as per planning, after completion of registration procedure, Warm-up Flights took place according to the FAI rules, also the Line Pull Test and the Noise measurement were performed, and nobody was found to be beyond the limits. Hostility was declared completed on Sunday 26th  around 16:00.
In detail Alberto MAGGI with his new "SUNKI" powered by a OS 70 (4 stroke) dominate the competition increasing his performance flight after flight.
Mauro FIUSSELLO using his old RI-BLITZ powered by ST 51, already saw during the last E.C. in Valladolid, after a not impressive first flight, rise the classification up to the second place surprising everybody for that unexpected performance.
Luciano COMPOSTELLA unfortunately fall gently down to the third place, (unusual position for him), flying with a new plane called "FRECCIA" powered by the Ukraine  engine Discovery.
Proceeding down in the classification we found Clemente CAPPI that absolutely not disturbed by the Cirič's turbulence performs a good flight closing competition a the fourth place, just before Francesco BALLESIO (friendly called the house-owner) that appears a little bit behind his standard performance.
Continuing we found Isidoro LAKUNISHOCK that with his new YAK superb finished took the sixth place followed by Giacomo FELICI seventh classified.
At the eighth place we find Walter WEINSEISEN that followed by some problem could not display his full potential, we hope he enjoyed anyway the competition.
Last but not least there are Silvia FIUSSELLO, Lillo CONDELLO and Franco REINERO tree younger Italian stunt flyers that will not hesitate to attack the top level classification competitiors in the future competition (this is a pure dream!!!)
In the frame of the main competition there was also an Open Category Competition dedicated to the memory of Carlo SALVI (who was the founder of the S.M.C:) classification is addressed to the Control Line Pilots that do not own the FAI Licence, unfortunately only two entrants attended this category.
The winner was Olimpio TORCHIO followed by Luca AMATEIS.
