F3F International Open
LA MUELA 2000 (Spain)

is not enough wind to race ... |

Nice decoration for this spanish Ellipse 2 ! |

The TEMPUS, is very popular in spain and is used by most of the spanish
pilots. Inspired by the Big Mach ( a french F3F glider designed in 1996),
the Tempus uses a S7012 and a true elliptical planform. |
