Less of an account, more of an essay, that would have taken me a couple of days just to type it all out! :roll:

Well done Fred. :clap:  Shame about the lack of wind, but then there was always the beer and the food. :lol:
(Only a man from France would travel halfway across Europe to a flying event,…………and take a photo’s of plates of food. Ha! The devil is in the detail!! :wink: )

Thanks Fred.

K.
p.s. I didn’t see any Hortens in the photos. Was Lothar at the event this year?
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.

Thanks all  :D

Well, this account only reflect 10% of what I actually did / happened during this week !
Something is sure, Wasserkuppe, I will come back !

I also came back, as usual, with loads of new projects for next year  :D
And a 1/3.5 Pilatus fuselage (thanks Fred  :clap: ) that should keep me busy after I finish my ASH25 (work in progress, just the wings to do now).

A few new photos were posted on the Retroplane forum. No shame !  O:)
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!
