One of the amazing new models of the event, this Boeing YB-9 by Richard Crossley. Twin electric, it got trimmed during the competition and scored the highest scoring flight of the event. A not so high static score gave it 5th position overall. Once trimmed it was a great slow sight in the air.

Peter Smart and Richard Crossley have often teamed up in the past to present new trends and concepts. This time was no different. They came with models of similar layout and period, but so different in origin. Peter's Tupolev R6 and Richard's Boeing...

The confrontation ended with no victims. The winner, as the famous gangster once said, "You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone"

My photos really do not do them justice... There were other people there with some proffesionally looking equipment, but not me.

The hall becoming empty, as everybody has packed models and gear.

People immediately got to work to setup the badminton courts for the next day...

I think the F1D in your photograph George was built and flown by Kevin Lamers, fuselage made from carbon fibre. Nice work anyway! Tommy

Thanks very much George. It's not the same as being there but if not then your photos have given a great feel for the event and the models. Pete and I are definitely planning a trip to the IIFI next year if we can manage it (and as long as the club have it, of course).

We will organize another IIFI next year. The date still has to be set. This is depending on the date of the outdoor Eurofly meeting in Switserland. It will be in November 2017 that's what we know for now. Soon as the date is set I will send an invitation around february/march 2017 but registration will be open right after the announcement of the date.

I will keep you informed as soon as I know more...

Regards,

Bernard
