Here is our new section, we have a lot of model aircraft photos where only a few pictures exist. Here we go:
Brand new Sultan V
Here is the brand new Sultan 5 from our Roman friend Luca Falivena. The model was built from a PAF (Peter Adolfs) kit. It is powered by a modern OS Max 55.AX. Perfect finish. The wings and the tail unit are covered with Oracover. We wish Luca many flying hours with his new toy. Thanks for the photos.

Richard Schwab with his ‘Orion’ 1976
My flying buddy today, Richard Schwab, with his ‘Orion‘. This aerobatic model was offered by a small manufacturer in the mid-seventies. This was Richard’s first low-wing aerobatic model. It had a wingspan of approx. 1.38 metres and was powered by an OS Max 40RC. The aircraft was distributed by Webra at the time.
Today he flies a ‘Bertolani Komet‘.

Stefan Fink`s ‘Unlimited’
Here are photos of Stefan Fink`s ‘Unlimited’. First use 1993 with gearbox because of 10ccm two-stroke displacement limitation. Wingspan just over 2m. From 1996 (when the displacement limit was abolished) the geared motor was replaced by a Webra 120. In 1997, the Webra 145 made its debut in this plane when it won the South African Nationals.
Today, the Unlimited hangs from the ceiling of the Deutsches Museum

This is a self-built aerobatic model from 1980 / 1982. The aeroplane was designed and built by the Italian model pilot Franco Dal Bello. Franco named it „Fulginium“ after the Roman name of his home town of Foligno, a little later he changed to ‚Okay’. Together with his flying buddies Sergio Bergantini and Mario Belloni, the proud builder was an integral part of the field of participants in the Italian championship at the time. All of Franco’s models that he ever built were painted completely red underneath. Images Cristiano Giostozzi
