From 17th – 25th of October I was with other aeromodellers at the Jet Formation Cup in Anji, Zhejiang province (around 3 hours by car from Shanghai). Together with my father we judged the competition and explored the city of Shanghai in our group.
How it was and which status aeromodelling in China has, you can read in my detailed article in one of the coming “Flugmodell” magazines (German only).
Special thanks to PowerBox Systems and the Chinese Aerospace Association for inviting us!
At the weekend from 3rd to 4th of September was the last competition for the German Championship class F3A in Schiefbahn.
It was the first competition ever, where both associations, DAeC and DMFV hosted such an event together- hopefully not the last! A big “thank you” to Peter Uhlig/Nils Brückner and Maurice Lumm/Peter Claus for bringing both associations together!
It was a great championship, especially because of the outstanding organization by Christian Komfort and Michael Sonnen, who also took part in the competition.
There was never a more professional organization for German Championships- thanks for that!
A big “thank you” goes also to contest director Reimund Schwitalla, who acted very masterly and made it possible, that more than 100 flights can be made on Saturday without any problems.
On Saturday we flew 2 P17 schedules and on Saturday only one more P17 and no final round because of the bad weather.
I could win the competition in Schiefbahn and also the German Championship for the 5th time. Second was Naruke (Nils) Brückner, 3rd Andre Bracht- congrats boys, well done!!!
The German team for WC 2017 consists of Nils Brückner, Christian Niklaß and myself. Our Junior will be Elias Leonhard.
Many thanks to my team and our partners for the support in this season!
A great time with friends has come to an end!
70 pilots out of 25 nations have taking part in Untermünkheim. The MFC-Untermünkheim with all the voluntary helpers did an outstanding job and made this European Championship to the probably best of all time!
Here are some Impressions of friends and myself, more Pictures will follow the next days in the EC 2016 Gallery.
Thanks all, who provided those pictures.
A very tough competition in Kaltenkirchen (Germany) in very bad and changing weather conditions made this event to a big challenge for everyone.
blue sky, rain, fog and strong wind- we had it all.
Special thanks to Michael Setzer for being my caller this weekend!
A big thank you also to the Hacker Motor GmbH for the perfect support during the days before the competition!
Thanks to the FAG Kaltenkirchen, especially Manfred Greve and family for hosting this World Cup!
Congrats to Sandro Matti and Nils Brückner who finished 2nd and 3rd and all other participants.

The 50th international F3A competition in the Principality of Liechtenstein was this season the F3A hotspot! 55 pilots including Giichi Naruke and Yoichiro Akiba from Japan took part. An amazingly organized competition with beautiful weather and a great result for me made this weekend to an absolutely highlight this season!
Congrats to Stefan Kaiser and Lassi Nurila who finished 1st and 2nd and all other participants!
After 8 successful years with Futaba we changed in February our radio system and moved to Jeti duplex.
We are very proud and happy that Rainer Hacker (Hacker Motor GmbH) and Jakub Mitura (Jeti model) gave us the chance to this step!
