Hi folks,

I'd like to know if someone has informations about Quique new design or Quique's plane for the next World Champ in Argentina ....
If he'll use a new plane, I'm very impatient to see it ...

Does someone Know if quique will be in USA team or in Argentina team ?...

Have a nice flights

I believe he will be part of the USA team if he gets selected base on the results in the next Nats (F3A). Also, he has to be US resident to be in the US team. I think he meets this requirement but I am not 100% sure now. He has won the Nats in the last few years so should no be difficult for him to make the team.

In any event, I wish him the best.

havent you noticed.....quique has some kind of angel or something like that around him, and im not being naif...

but everibody says he is a great person, the best pilot, and always people ( at least here in RCU ) wishes him good luck anywhere he goes

i've never met him im person, so i hope I can meet him at the worlds this year

im not sure if you feel the same about other top pilots

sorry for my english
xcead

of course nobody doubts about his skills to fly airplanes

what im talking about is his image of good person and hard worker

I live in France,

But I really like that Quique won the world champ this year.
I stop F3A because of my job (I fly planes with people in) but I remember a summer when I was reading my dad's RC magazine and discover (through magazine only) M. Quique Somenzini.
I like the phylosophy of the guy, 93 he try something incredible at the world champ with the Desafio S ... finaly judges were not be ready for this type of flights ...

I wish him a very good luck for the worlds ... May the force be with him

Marc from France

hey marc...what was that of "tried something incredible with the desafio S at the '93 worls" ?

how was his flight?

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong !
The exhaust were at th wing tips strange effects during rolls
I think , he was also flying very very slow compare to the other one, using a huge bolly prop
Judges didn't like

exhaust at wing tips??!!

wow.... really?[X(]

Was it the Desafio S or the Tango S? YS 120 SC, bolly 17,5 x 12 (later changed to 16 or 15 x 12 due to noise problems), exhaust at the wingtips routed from the engine to the one piece wing, and some funky carbon fiber carburetor muffler/air filter. I have a (paper) picture somewhere from an european magazine of that time, I will try to scan and post it later....

Aresti, I think you have the french RCM, It was a very good magazine at that period but not anymore.
I'll check mine tomorrow to confirm type of A/C

No way!!!! CPLR will again win the world championship!!! I dont think ex-argentinian will have a chance

You are broung macleote[:@]Quique will be the next world champion.

I think Jason Shulman will have a suprise for Quique this year,
he will be more prepaired than I have ever known him to be,
with a good New airplane and his brother helping ,He will be a strong favorite at the masters and the worlds.
not to take anything from Quique of course,,

we all know Quique will make the team But it will be a close fight,
and After seeing Christophe and his brother fly ,, they better be prepaired ,,because,
Christophe is the new and improved Hanno Prettner
But even Hanno did lose eventually
Bryan

But we all know that A.C. Glenn will be the next world champion. Its just a fact of life lol

I Agree! A.C. GLENN --WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!
(Future one for sure! If the girl's don't get him!)

You're right,

I spoke about 1993 world champs wins by the best of the best, the legendary Hanno Prettner ....
quique flew very very slowly with smoke on the wings ... for me (I was a kid) it was wonderfull ....

As you can see, in France you can find a legendary chauvinism .....

I trully hope that quique wins the next World champ this year in Argentina .....
I'm French but not a great fan of CPLR

Flycanju is right,

Every F3A champion will losse a day ....
Hanno Prettner stop after winning 7 times, and many many TOC ....

CPLR is a great champion of course but not the new Hanno Prettner .... Hanno Prettner is a legend .... No one will be abble to reach him ....

I totally agree !!!!!!

So, is QQ's new plane a monoplane or biplane?

It's a sesquiplane.

That's what they said about Babe Ruth................. It'll happen one day.

sesquiplane??? yeaaaaaahhhhh i want to see that plane!!!
