My name is Petr Handlík , I live in the Czech Republic and I´am a pilot and team member of Foundation Metodej Vlach´s Aircraft .

Our Foundation collects, and rebuilds if necessary, to keep these Ultralight replicas of historical Airplanes flying - see opposite

We are thinking now about our next project ( should be Caudron G III ) and we are impressed a lot with your engine R 2800. The original Aircraft was flown by Jean Babtist Salis in Cerny - La Ferte Alee

My father won the World Championships with a Radio controlled scale model in 1994. -Photos attached

These sensational planes include: Arena (Aeronca), Grade, Nieuport 12, Piper L4H, Racek PB-6, Sopwith Pup, Metodej Vlach and now coming up is the 80% Caudron GIII... (some of which are illustrated opposite)
