OK, found where to click on the F3A Argentina site:

Day 2 - Round 1 & Round 2 - 2017 - F3A World Championship - ARGENTINA

There's a small link at the bottom that says, "Click here".

Also maybe this works: Click image for larger version

This is also on the home page, but must be for local users.....I don't think the IP works remotely.

Yup Line 2 judges did a number on Onda and AJ Why do they bother holding this competition, can't they just coronate CPLR and be done with it?

Perhaps AJ and Onda did a number on themselves. Anyone can have a bad round. All it takes at this level is one really bad maneuver which probably leads to bad entry/position on the next one or more.
Having watched CPLR in person at a couple of WC he was clearly the best in those, probably still is.

I like the Element as well. It must be one of the best monoplanes currently and being from BJ Craft, not too expensive either.

I have monitored flights with geared contras and belt driven contras here in Argentina and there's a very clear difference. The belt driven japanese and BJ Park contras sound very similar and seem to work well. BJ is using a Hobbywing ESC which has no adjustable brake if I understood correctly. He said that in his opinion the brake effect is sufficient if the throttle is turned to idle speed during downlines.

If someone doesn't know, today's flights continue tomorrow since the ceiling height was too low the whole afternoon. The Turkish team sadly lost a Galaktik since the pilot lost orientation when the plane flew into a cloud after six sided loop.

---Thanks for the update; very little ( = None) information is coming through the website. I'd think they could post the day's results by saying what you did:
"Day 3 - Bad Weather, delayed until tomorrow."
...or something like that.

Sorry, I meant to say that the belt driven contras are much quieter than most gear driven ones. Brenner's is also quiet compared to some others.

Hi,
On an other thread here on RCU the people using YS are listed.
There seems to be 8 using YS.
Thus there are 56 using electric, with a lot of them being contra .

Excuse me for asking, but how common is a 1000 (perfect) score handed out?
It seems incredible that CPLR seems to be able to get a perfect score so often.

Scores are 'normalized'...the highest raw score in the round is ramped up to 1000, and everyone else is scaled accordingly.

I sure was hoping to see a few Allure bipes at the WC.
