Mr.Aram, from my point of view you are not at right in first part of your post and Croatian guys do not deserve this critique .Even in your post ,you mentioned that result are AFTER ROUND 7th…..Croatian decided to list individuals and teams , with same results, after each round in alphabetical order. Therefore they made it correct to list Israel before Russia because list was made BEFORE fly-off and the end of F1A competition!!
The other part is correct because you are speaking about FINAL results.
By the way, I am delighted with job that Croatian did regarding fast post results that all modellers all-round the world had feeling that they are on site of competition. It was first time , to my knowledge, that we got such extraordinary job so well done.. FAI must be aware that this is the best advertising of our sport and therefore for all organiser of CHAMPIONSHIPs OF THE WORLD, in the future, this way of information should be MUST.
BRAVO MOMCI

Thanks for videos and prompt updates! Feels like I'm on the field together with all my friends!
I hope other organizers will take notes and this will become a standard for all upcoming WC/EC competitions.

Mike,
great to read from you, that your frreflight thermal sense is still working and you are on the right web site, where they great life in croatia gon on.
but you should sit in the middle of the seat, the edge is not the right place for you as EX-Worldchampion 1993 in F1A. It's only 16 years ago, but looks like it happened yesterday.
I'm sitting with on the balkony of appartment named "Success" (where I try to combine famly holiday with freeflight WC, WChamps) near ZADAR around 120 km away from the Krabovskoje Polje, a wonderful flying field comparable like Mostar or Livno, where you have been also several times in the old good days of the last century. You remember: We met us first time with Lee Hines in 1983 at famous old bridge in Mostar and had a marvelous time at the coast.
Mike, I miss you very much on the flying line, always standing on the ground with your sense for thermal und dry humour. I'm also since 6 years now out of big Freeflight business , since nice living models ( Lisa 8 and Jasmin 6) are part of my life and job is getting more timespending. 1 year break during moving businessdriven to Frankfurt and building house - always flying old models with mechanical stuff, but made the Odessa team and don't lost by competing at several contest every year contact to Frredlight scenery. Often thinking of closing modelbox ever or starting with this electronic stuff new or ... So since 8 month no model on the line, first time this year flying FF last week here at WC before the champs. I had a real hugh comeback here and finished in 2.nd FO with 335 sec on place 9 of 119. when you look the 8 people in front of me, which hightec model they flew and successes they have in the past few years: makarov, titov , 2 x Findahl ( Son beat Papa on Flapper with Papas old wepaons), Koglot and Profi Stamov with hic tec Flapper ( 6th versions since last October !!!) only few sec in front of me - I flew my standard short model like all the day. After contest I was death and was very happy of this success. So Mike, why I tell you this. We are missing you and you have to comeback next year. Think about
Your Slogan should be : No FLapper, no tears, no electronic, no fears !!!! Ansgar Nüttgens

Fantastic videos, thanks for all the hard work. I get to see some of my good friends from past years. Really makes me wish even more that I could have been there myself!
