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.
