Together with my team we will be on an Australian F3A-Tour from 1^st -19^th March 2017.
At first we will attend competitions and airshows in Melbourne and Sydney;  after that we will have some days for Sightseeingtours in Sydney and around.
More information will follow…

From 28^th– 30^th of October the most visited rc-fair of the year took place in Friedrichshafen. Besides the different halls there was also the airshow “Stars des Jahres” took places in the corner of the Friedrichshafen airport, organized by the German magazine FMT. I followed the invitation from Uwe Puchtinger and had together with my time an amazing weekend with fantastic weather! I flew the electric GeeBee and the Tucano with Turboprop.
Philipp Rösner was with me and made 2 great videos of my flights!

Thanks to Uli Neuberger and Michael Setzer for the pictures and the FMT for the invitation!

A special thank you goes to Rainer Hacker, who supported us at the airfield during the preparations and flights in spite of his stress inside the hall!

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 5^th time. Second was Naruke (Nils) Brückner, 3^rd 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!

The 50^th 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.
