He won the Worlds in 1983 with a plane called Calypso his own design and that plane was giving to Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna from Brazil. Besides that he won the European Championships 16 times. He never lost a competition. He retired undefeated. Title: Re: Hanno Prettner - living legend of RC Post by: sanjayrai55 on July 23, 2014, 06:12:40 PM Some well known models designed by him:

Also known as the Hanno Screw, this spin in knife-edge was popularised by many times World Aerobatic Champion Hanno Prettner. Its a difficult one to do right but is not restricted to 3D models alone Title: Re: Hanno Prettner - living legend of RC Post by: aditya on July 23, 2014, 06:16:58 PM History of the RC Tournament of Champions (TOC)

Sirji, Achanak Hanno Prettner ki yaad kaise aiyee? Here’s one of his... Recognise it? 90% completed by the late SqnLdr Tariq Ali, and gifted to me by his son, to complete. I’ll complete it, but don’t have the courage to fly it! Title: Re: Hanno Prettner - living legend of RC Post by: Mehul Anand on January 26, 2019, 12:02:09 AM If I would like to read a history book it would be on aeromodelling, but I couldn't find a decent one. :(
Anymore legends to know of? @KKIyer sir I think if Mr. Ali would have been alive he would have loved to see it fly at least once than just dusting on a showcase.

I guess you've figured out why ;) Just starting (attempting) Curare 20 |
