Hi,
Nice plane!
I hope someone will be able to take some video and post somewhere on the internet when it is flying, at the French Championships or at the WC later.
It kind of has some lines, like the sweept wing, that some F3P models have, like the Victory F3P model that has rather much sweept wing.
I saw the other day one Hui Yang Professional F3A reseller advertise they take (pre?) order on the Oreka already. I'm sure some Galactika users may consider this new Oreka as a future upgrade. I'm on my 4th season now with my Galactika and the Oreka looks very interesting indeed, but how well the new Oreka flies is the most important of course.

A rough fuselage side view comparsion between Oreka och previous Galactika below.
The engine thrustline and stab seems in line and same on both. The wing root leading edge is more to the front on Oreka and the fuselage is taller (deeper) below the wing. Rudder probably little larger on Oreka.

Hi Bo,
Thanks for all your postings regarding the Oreka. I think the LE of the wing was moved forward to accommodate the significantly increased sweep in the wing and keep the C/G in the same place. A little bigger fuselage, but not as large as some of the newer designs (maybe by a lot). I'm sure the mechanical airbrakes are very effective (the braking power of electrics is quite impressive). I suspect by keeping the design a bit 'smaller' this will allow for some reserve power if wind conditions require it. I, too, am anticipating video of the Oreka, but sometimes the line between aircraft design and pilot skills get pretty blurry.

I was little curious what the name Oreka mean.
I found it is a word in Bascue language (used in the Bascue regions in France and Spain) and it is according to Basque-English dictionary:
balance, equilibrium
Maybe that is the meaning of the word also in this model name context.

Just wondering why the wing shape. Is he looking to fly fast and big or more like an F3P aproach as Gernot Bruckmann? New W. Matt Angelit+ has a similar style wing just more conservative.

It is hard to figure out the real advantages with so much sweept wing as Oreka has, in the relatively low speeds we are flying our F3A manouvres.
But one of the most acrobatic birds, the Swift, has rather much sweept wing so it can not be that much disadvantages I suppose.

Did Christophe Paysant-Le Roux win the 2019 F3A French Championships with the Oreka?
Yes he did, results are here:

Hello
"can you comment CPLR flying style with Oreka in the french Championship? Big, fast 175-200m or slow, close and small? "
Friend of mine told me Cplr flew as usual but with lower descent speed.
"Will CPLR be flying at the Grand Prix comp the weekend before the WCs? " Sorry I dont know !
