Stunt in Stuttgart, Germany?
« on: May 28, 2008, 10:23:30 PM »
 I am moving to Stuttgart, Germany in about 3 weeks and I was wondering if anyone had any experience flying over there.  I didn't think that any of my planes would make the trip safely so I left EVERYTHING back in long term storage.  Should I buy an engine or 2 here in the states or should I wait and buy something over there that runs that FIA fuel.  Do they even sell nitro/caster fuels over there?  Do they make stunt engines that run with no nitro?  Will my AMA cover me or do I need to join yet ANOTHER organization? Should I just not fly for a couple of years until I get back over here?  I am already regretting not taking any of my CL stuff.  Any suggestions would be GREAT.  Thanks in advance...

Brad, leave all of those regrets behind, this the opportunity of a lifetime. Dive in and go for it. Get new stuff, meet new people and enjoy. Here's a start.

I would take a couple of engines with you, they are easy to pack. I used to go over on business trips a few years ago and really appreciate the hospitality that was shown to me. Thanks to Christoph, I have flown in a couple of contest over there and these are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I really enjoyed the time spent at the contests and the people I have meet.

Regards
Robert

Brad,
My friend Kreth has been to Germany many times and has shared we me some photos. It looks like some place I would like to visit some day. And like others said the people are great. Look forward to some good times. Let us know how it works out for you.

Hi

 No, they don't make stunt engines that run without nitro in Germany. You'd better move to Ukraine or Russia for that. ;) L
