Yes, Nagahama Dome must be one of best cat3 sites in the world. If the
rolled nets could be removed from the ceiling, it would become a much better
one.
It was a big betting for me to go to Nagahama Dome because no one had ever
flown a rubber powered model there and no one know of the air.
Outside whether was very good, warm, cloudy and light wind.
My F1M drifted about 10m or so from launch to about 15m high, and drifted
only 5m or so at the ceiling. This was the reason why the 1st flight ended
hanging up the rolled net at about 23m high. At 2nd flight, I moved the
launching point and got a safe and perfect flight.
There are many large domes here in Japan, but the officials (timers, etc)
are too small to host an international contest.
Good flying, Aki
