Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Last weekend I took part at the indoor meeting in Crailsheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg/Germany. I had some nice flights with my Turbulent, even tested the skis one time. After two indoor seasons with this wooden model the excitement is on a normal level so I can concentrate on flying nice and easy Timo Most of the pilots flew the usual shock-flyers, but like last year there were some pilots with quiet interesting models. These two steam trains are famous among German children and cthey can drive AND fly. You have to search for "Augsburger Puppenkiste" and their story of "Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivfuehrer".

Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Even impeller jets of good size with retractable landing gear and flaps were able to fly in the gym. Edited By Timo Starkloff on 25/02/2019 20:16:11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 The biggest plane beneath the A-10 above was the Corsair from Juergen Schoenle. Huge prop self made from balsa. Very slow, very quiet but powerful inflight, but according to Juergen it takes constant reaction from him to counteract the torque of the big propeller.

Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 A few of the many great models from Jorgos. He's also been to free flight meetings in Britain years ago. His models are outstanding, tiny size but with original linkage of all controls.

Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 One of the few wooden models is my Druine Turbulent. A nice indoor and outside flyer **LINK** Edited By Timo Starkloff on 25/02/2019 20:34:12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Starkloff Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Many foam models were from Juergen Schoenle and his friends, built in a special way by using plastic models like Revell. They vaccum form (very) thin foam sheets to build the flying model. An explanation can be found here: **LINK** Brand new are the Antonov and A380, which were flying amazingly despite their small size.
