Igor Burger: European Champion 2011!!!
« on: July 31, 2011, 02:21:20 AM »
At last week's European Championships, Igor Burger took the title.
Congratulations! H^^

We could have seen this coming. After the first 4 entries at a W Ch. in 2006, Igor's second place at the 2008 W Ch., it was bound to happen anytime soon.

Congrats Igor.  Are you still flying the LA 46 on a pipe?

Not my pics.

The on-the-ground pic could be Igor's. In-flight pic by Claudia Kehnen:

I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

 Congrats! That is also an awesome looking model with a great paint scheme. The model design makes me think of a "modernized" Tucker Special. Great stuff! H^^

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.
