    here. Nigel McAnelly, who made the trek up from the South
    Island, came in third.

    Classic:
    Owen Rogers claimed top honors in Classic, flying his
    bright  red  Space  Hound,  which  flew  smoothly  in  the
    sometimes-gusty conditions.

    Kevin Barnes gave his OS-15 powered Peacemaker an
    outing, taking second place. There were a total of four
    Peacemakers and Flite-Streaks in action.

    Mono-wheel takeoffs and landings were made possible by
    the smooth surface, and some good points were awarded.

    Overall Results:
    Kevin Barnes continues to hold the top spot of the table,
    with 4 F2B wins out of 4 events so far this season. Kevin
    also holds second place, courtesy of a strong showing in
    Classic, with 3 wins out of 4 events.

    Chris Chambers holds third place, through a combination
    of results and bonus points.
    Mover of the Month: Chris Renton moves up from 13th to
    6th place with his win in Whangarei.

    An interesting point to note - This is the first round where
    the Intermediate scores produce a different finishing order
    to the F2B scores. This is because Intermediate scoring
    treats all stunts with equal value, so being good at rounds
    and inverted paid off for Roscoe. In F2B the K-Factors
    reward the fancy shapes, and Gerald did better there. It
    makes for an easier transition from the Sportsman/Classic
    schedule to the F2B one.
