European Championships for Control Line Models

Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, July 16-22, 1995

I competed in F2C Team Racing as a mechanic with pilot Jan Gustafsson.
We were unfortunate to get our result wrong!!
Our proper time in the second qualification round of ~3:22 had become 3:32.2 when it was posted on the board. We protested with signed statements from spectators agreeing on our time. This was to no avail, and we lost the semifinal place that we would have got otherwise.

A Swedish highlight came in F2D Combat instead, where Hĺkan Östman took the bronze medal.
