Interesting I also thought he had a brother ( Viktor? )whom also flew exceptionally well?
I remember seeing video of this in the China worlds 1994 and the design had already seen many many contests.
That "cement mixer" must be circa 1983..
Hi PJ, guys...
I had the chance to see that plane flying at the 1986 WCH in Pécs, Hungary.
You are right: AWESOME flying caracteristics and flying skills from Valentin Salenek and his brother Victor...very powerful contestants.
Own engine, dreamed stunt run!
And the plane was a MASTERPIECE, I must add...
A joy to behold...
Claudio.
