News 2010
PIKE Perfect and Perfect ET are available with lower flying
weight for this season.
we managed to decrease the weigh by +/- 150 g, it depends on
version. 2/3 of weight difference was saved on the wing with the
same stiffness. The lower weigt improves the performance of the
model. 1/3 weigth difference was saved on the fuselage. New
fuselage is lighter and also stiffer and more rigid.
13-16.02.2010 - Brazil
First flying this year was in Brasil Sao Paolo 13-16th of
February. where Jaroslav Vostřel and his wife Eva represented
our team. Our friends from Sao Paolo invited them to this very
kind event. This "competition" took place on a privat aifrield
about 80 km from Sao Paolo. It was a very nice place. They would
like to thanks them for their hospitality and kindness. They
enjoyed lots of fun, great food. Weather was very warm, arrivel
to Brazil was big change for them. In Czech Republic it was -15
°C temperatures and 36°C welcomed them in Brazil. Even night
temperatures were not below 22°C. World-known carnival took
place there just in that days of their visit and they could not
miss this party. It is big holiday for Brazilians and they enjoy
it so much, there was such a great atmosphere. Once more thank
you very much for chance to spend great 5 days with kind people
in sunny Sao Paolo.
