Today at the Warbirds over Awatoto (Napier) Radio Control Fly in we
experienced the most spectacular peice of flying to day by Freaser
Briggs.

I think ya knows who Fraser is but in case ya don't.

(Frazer is considered the most skilled IMAC (International Miniature
Aerobatic Club) competition pilot in the country and has represented
New Zealand internationally for over 10 years.Frazer has been
regularly traveling to the States and all over the
world competing with success both as an individual and as a NZ Team member in
IMAC competitions. His results include:
• 4th, 1999 Tournament of Champions
• 3rd, 2003 Tucson Aerobatic Shootout
• 1st, 2004 Tucson Aerobatic Shootout
• 3rd, 2005 Tucson Aerobatic Shootout
The main annual competition for
Frazer is the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout
which is held in Arizona every October.
This year Frazer finished 7th overall in the
invitational category.)

It's 41% scale and weighs around 18kg. The Raven aerobatic aircraft lost a
wing in flight due flutter and he was able to fly it and bring it down
with very little damage. Only Fraser could have done this he's that
good a pilot.

Check out the Photo's taken this afternoon Sunday 24th. these are not
altered in anyway straight from my camera.
