List of F3B World Champions.

F3B World championship

Following the recent F3B World Championship, I thought it would be interesting to try to compile a list of past winners. I managed to get a list of team medals and individual medals up to 2003 from f3b.de. I got recent information from various team pages and blogs etc. The Houlberg trophy itself is nicely pictured by Gordon Buckland in the USA F3B blog.

If you look at the list it includes some well known figures and absolute soaring legends. And Dave Worall and Steve Haley!

Here is an Olympic style medal table for the Individual results. 3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd. Germany includes results from FRG (West Germany). In the case of draws I separate by most gold, or most silvers if golds are even. I include the number of medals won.

    1. Tom,
      Sorry for delay, I keep forgetting to re-check any responses here as I am not accustomed to doing this.
      Yes it will be published but only as part of the History of a local club in Melbourne Aust., however, I would be happy to pass it on to whoever wants it. It relates only to F3b F3j & F3k WC's, shows Indiv & Team Trophies (Not a good one of the F3J Teams one), has ALL Podium Places for Indiv & Teams, also places for Aus Team Indiv & also Team place with Photo of AUS Team only, also Logo for all events, that is when completed - still some elements to go. So iffen anybody wants the finished product then they can ask and we see how we pass it on,

    2. Tom, I have thought more about your comment to publish it - I think you mean to put it 'up' somewhere for others to see it on the internet somewhere - I do not know how to do such things, but maybe when the article is complete, somebody will show me how to do it?? Bearing in mind it is oriented towards the Aussie side of things,

  7. Hello Des'Thankyou for for all the work you have put into this page. As an Australian I cop a bit of stick from foreigners about my country being under-represented in the f3b championships. Yet I have a friend that has flown f3b most of his life, his name is John Skinner and he lives in Tasmania - my home. He is a good pilot and spends a lot of time travelling and competing. He was recently in Europe doing so. He told me the Aussie team didn't do so well this time (2017).

    In the final table above for team medal count Australia gets one point and Germany gets forty two!

    Do you know where I should look to find out about how Australia got a mention in the medal count. I cant see any placings in the preceeding tables and wonder if we got that one point for being good sports?

    Cheers, Phil Elliott

    1. Hi Phil
      I know John through facebook. He's given me some really helpful advice on f3b. Good guy.
      I can't immediately remember where I got all the data from. I'll have to have a look round.
      Obviously it needs updating from the last wc.
      Cheers
      Tom
