World Championship F5J 2025, Argentina

Posted by Jo Grini on March 15, 2025

We must thank the organizers for a fantastic event in Argentina. We were probably all very interested in how this would be but we had a wonderful time on a huge and interesting field. Big tents, good food, smiling organizers and very good timekeepers made it a streamlined event.

Our Czech pilots flying Prestige did well and was followed up by many other flying Prestige in the varying conditions. We had everything this event from calm and low launching to very windy conditions in the warm cnditions of Argentina. The heat made it special to find correct ballast but the Prestige is well suited to fly in the wind.
The biggest congratulations goes to the Czech team, all of whose members flew with Prestige 2PK and 2PK PRO exclusively all WCH. They became world champions and was the only team with 3 pilots in the flyoff. Big congratulations.

Radek Malčik was able to win the preliminary rounds by systematically moving forward and using smart tactics. Petr Heinrich also proved to have very good psychological resistance. Despite the fact that he got a zero in the first round, he made it to the fly-off with other great flights. With a concentrated performance, Vlastimil Vostrel advanced to the fly-off in seventh place.
