This summer, July, 26th to August, 7th, in Torun, Poland, 2nd FAI World
Advanced & 14th Glider Aerobatic Championships took place. The
pilots weren't discouraged by unfavourable weather conditions.
Among
the gliders (mainly Swift S-1 and MDM-1 Fox) was SZD-54 Perkoz flown by
Denis Hartmann, aeronautics engineer and experienced aerobatics pilot
with years of experience, who has trained, among others Erik Piriou,
bronze medal winner in Torun. SZD-54 Perkoz was the only two-seater
glider, which wasn't created strictly for aerobatics. Hartmann managed
to defeat many pilots flying agile Fox or Swift however it was difficult
to fit in the box.
