Massive congratulations go out to all four of these fine and talented gentlemen, no matter what the mode of power was that pulled their ships through the most excellent geometry they obviously scribed in the skies over Bulgaria.

Okay, having said that, this is a very, very, very great day for those of us on this forum who saw this coming a long while back. It is a great day for CL Stunt in general because now there can be no argument by anyone that electric power is at least on an equal footing with glow, 4-stroke, or any other type of motive power for this great event. The really great thing is that electric power for CL Stunt is still in its infancy and will only get better by leaps and bounds for years to come. The future is bright indeed for electric power, but the present is suddenly pretty illuminated as well...  

There have been a few who have consistently sniped at electric power on this very forum. And I'm quite certain that they will not stop doing that completely. But, from this day forward, those voices will seem a bit more silly and more uninformed than they have in the past.

It is a great day. - Bob Hunt  

Hey Bob,
     Well said!! I have to agree.My electric ships have helped me improve exponentially.Maybe more people will try it instead of trash it,then the light will come on

A great day indeed, Bob.
When, not too many years ago, the F2B Working Group opened the FAI F2B set of rules for electric power, sometimes those opposing have not been very friendly at all.
Well, I think we have just arrived...
Thanks to all who have contributed.

Go re-read first post.   I congradulate all the people/stunt grunts that flew at the worlds.   It takes a lot more dedication  than I would do.  And our USA team for their efforts, well done.   Need to work harder next time. 

Nicely said Bob!  Congrats to all.

Hi All, Guess who had the privilege of flying Igor's model?? All I can say is that the smile is going to stay on my face for a looooooooong time! What an amazing stunt model this is. It's just so accurate and easy to fly. A big thank you to Igor for letting me experience this. His power package is also too amazing for words. It just adds power and backs off in exactly the right places in the maneuvers. This has taken years to develop so congrats to Igor for this totally awesome package.

Yes, it is a 3-bladed 11x5.5 tractor prop. He says that the pusher prop will have negative effects on his setup. I can tell you that this model does not need anything else to keep the lines tight in the hourglass or any other maneuver.

Yes it is available, several guys is going to try it, we will see. So far I can say that first 3 places use my active timer. But it is not pill for all ilnesses.

Unfortunatelly I did not have chance to count all electric models, because this year we had too many crashes even before WCh. But from my memory, all slovak, czech, all polish seniors use electric with active controll (Jeti + AXI or MVVS + active timer), then members of US, JPN, Spain, SA, NZ, AU and I probably missed several others fly electric but I do not know details. Simply it is already common to use electric. I even saw Shark reworked for electric.
