Free Flight WORLD CUP 2011 … unofficially after the last contest
F1A Mikhail Kosonozhkin - Russia
The Russian from the provinces, Mikhail lives in Rostov-on-Don, not in Moscow that is the traditional center of F1A expertise. He was very effective with his LDA airplane and successfully took on all comers at many events. This was no gimme.
F1B Alexander Andriukov -USA
A tough year for Alex with the tree at World Champs, not perfect USA World Cup events. Its hard for a non-European resident to do well because of the limited number of high scoring contests outside of Europe. But Alex made the European contests he attended count and delivered in the end. No one can question his experience and work ethic. Still the guy to beat, no question.
F1C Evgeny Verbitski – Ukraine
What can you say but age and cunning beat youth and vigor. The master of the modern F1C triumphed both at the World Champs and in the World Cup. I was fortunate to see him the Sierra Cup Flyoff against Don Chesson and young Jeff Ellington flying similar airplanes. Evgeny's launch was the best, his motor sounded so good and the power pattern was right on to start a perfect flight, an F1C lesson from the master.
