Last week-end, Whall-Halla, a fantastic show, took place in Germany, it is the most important indoor event in Europe this year. When I  accepted the invitation from Martin Muller, I could not imagine to find such a good organization  with so many pilots and models. It was great and funny! Thanks to the organizers: Martin Muller, Stephanie Schwan and Markus Zolitsch.

First thing, when I arrived in the hall, I could notice planes everywhere:  in locker rooms, under showers, in hallways...

On Saturday afternoon, a synchro-flight contest took place, I flew with Gernot Bruckmann. To share the difficulties we flew his freestyle routine with my planes. A new plane for  Gernot and a new routine for me!

We had some training flights on Saturday morning.  "It will be fun" said Gernot!  Easier for him than for me;-)

We ended first from the judges but the public notation was taken into consideration for 50%, so we ended second! The public prefered the German team: Mark Losberg and Kai Heuzeroth

Result: Synchro Flight.

The four main 'drivers' of  this event:

Martin Muller and Stephanie Schwan, a famous couple in the indoor world, Martin is the Wall-Halla show's father.  They imposed a top timing throughout the week-end, it was perfect!!!

Markus Zolitsch(left) handed technical support for the show, he also flew. Jurgen Heilig, in charge of the F3P at the DMFV federation, guaranteed the great atmosphere!

The show started at 6.00pm and ended at midnight. Amazing: so many kind of planes!
