Acrobat preparations in full jet

EAC 2010 evoked the Touzim Aeroclub members to baroque interest in aerobic flying. From 55 members, 38 pilots singed up for aerobatics, who started their own aerobatic CzechCora team and for preparation provided new hyper aerobatic plane from European
fund with max. speed 476 km/hour and permitted multiples + 23 g and -13 g.

This high-wing monoplane from czech production is above due to hight ability with rotation value along long axis 923°/s.

Unfortunately, this winter asked for necessary improvements of the aircraft. For example heating in the footwear and
gloves and grog thermos bottle clamping. Mounting of skies was necessary. The rating of individual formations was greatly
difficult, due to
judges, who watched all the events from the airport bar, which they refused to leave. Their statement, that the weather
does mismatch to the standarts and pilots are disappearing in the fog, has turned out during the sunny weather as
allegation and eyesight
came back to them right after 30 minutes of forced sleep.

Even to mark out the box for aerobatics ment huge struggle. 70 cm of snow executed the meaning and final recognition,
that white sheets on the white surface are fading away, ment mental brakedown of trace team chief. However, the
exertion wasn’t pointless
and the event of „ The Yeti plate“ showed perfect form of all competitors, who will compete for the leading post on EAC
2010 Touzim.

Final results:
1.place: John Wind 9999 points

3.place: Charlies Frost 9997 points

PS: And if someone would think that Aeroclub Touzim is placed somewhere across polar cyrcle, he’s very well mistaken. We
are in the middle of Europe, just elevation above sea-level 651 m is making us to be the highest leid airport in Czech
republic.
