Here is our new section, we have a lot of model aircraft photos where only a few pictures exist. Here we go:
Peter Stuyvesant Aerobatic relay
Here are the Curares of the Stuyvesant squadron in the early 80s. Team members Franz Stenzel, Helmut Krämer and Helmut Wolf. The aeroplanes were powered by Super Tigre ST.60, with Simprop SAM remote controls. The photo was taken in 1982 during the T.O.C. competition in Las Vegas by our friend Erich Gilik. Erich accompanied Günter Hoppe and also Werner Schweiker at this meeting.
Erich Gilik`s Cranfield
This photo is now about 42 years old. Erich Gilik, our first picture supplier of Classicpattern. Here is a photo at his home airfield in Rosenheim / Bavaria with his Cranfield. Sadly passed away all too soon. God rest his soul.
Erich was a very busy man back then. Master car painter, designer and mould maker of Harald Neckar`s Manitu, designer and mould maker of Wolfgang Kosche`s Kogi, painter of various model aircraft of Günter Hoppe and Werner Schweiker, and helper of the two at the T.O.C.`s.
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.
