The 2010 French Championship was hosted by the Luçonnais Model Club, located 20 miles east of La Rochelle on the west coast from july 29 to august 1.
It was a very nicely conducted Championship, with all the top fliers competing, this championship being the 2 part of 3 of the F3A Team Selection for the WC 2011 in Muncie.
Hope you will enjoy the pics and be more familiar with the French F3A Pilots .....

On the technical side

Planes were essentially from OXAI, a lot of AXIOME, one Amethyst, and from ZN, XIGRIS C2, INTEGRAL, AXIAL...
6 of the 8 first were using a YS engine versus 2 electrics.

It was a tuff competition, and we had a lot of very high quality flights.
