1982 TOC Las Vegas 

Le très fameux rendez vous de l'époque .Le tournoi des champions. Il y'avait la Le gratin des meilleurs pilotes du monde avec bien sûr l'homme à battre Maitre Hanno Pretner.. et son "Dalotel " l'époque de la voltige coulée et précise avec des avions spécifiques à cette catégorie ... que de beaux souvenirs.. Merci pour cette vidéo précieuse.!!❤

I miss the 80,s.

Awesome!! I saw the Peter Stuyvesant team fly the Curares in Austria. They were perfect as could be! This is the first time I see them on video since the 80's. And Hanno and Hans, of course... what a genius team! Thanks for posting this!

Thank you so much for sharing this. Brings back a lot of great memories. This was the year of the Laser 200, although Hanno won again with a Dalotel. This was the first year that Steve Stricker was invited. Two weeks before he was to leave for the trip his caller had to cancel. We had a mutual friend so he called me to see if I would go although we had never met before. I had never even seen an Aresti pattern. This was the Chipmunk year. After the first 2 days we were as high as 7th and still creeping up the board, even flying after Hanno every flight. In those days the pilots had to put together one Known pattern to fly. Steves was high difficulty and low K factors, we slipped to 14. Made up for that in '84 with a 2nd place finish with the Stearman the year Hanno's Skybolt was disqualified. I have to admit, the Prettner team was hard to keep up with.

Absolument fantastique

Thank you for so amazing film! I live in Argentina, and I saw this tournament back in the day in RC/Modeler magazine because my dad had a suscription. Childhood memories.

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing this video.

The good old days! Everything hand made and no computer radios with stabilizers :-) The Styvesant team was great!

I love those times.Thats when R/C flying was truly great.I miss my OS61 piped bridi UFO.Now all I fly now in 2024 is a horizon hobbies V900.Thats the most exotic looking pattern/sport plane I can get.I miss fibur glass fuselages and foam core wings.
