Books for pilots

Die Flugzeugstars
F-104 Starfighter

The book describes in detail the F-104 Starfighter series,
the deployment with the German Army, the airframe and
SATS program and the Lockheed F-104CCV, an aircraft
with artificial stability. It also provides an overview of the
Starfighter in international service and an appendix with
technical data. Good photos show the different paint sche-
mes and supplement the detailed text of the individual chapters. Although the book does not con-
tain detailed photos, it is still worth reading for the Starfighter fan among model pilots.
Gerhard Lang, Flugzeugstars - F-104 Starfighter, 143 pages with numerous black and white
and colour photos, Motorbuch Verlag, € 19.95. The book is also available in the shop at

DAeC and ÖAeC lead

fruitful conversations

In the course of the entry into force of the new EU drone regulation (implementing regulation
(EU) 2019/947), progress has also been made at international level. For the purpose of exchan-
ging views and coordination between Austria and Germany, the Federal Section Model Flight of
the Austrian Aero Club, the Federal Commission Model Flight DAeC and the MFSD met in Mu-
nich. In a very good atmosphere, important topics concerning the implementation of the new EU
aviation law were discussed and debated. Especially the registration and the proof of knowled-
ge as well as their mutual recognition in neighbouring countries were important topics. Both ÖA-
eC and DAeC agreed to hold talks on an international level with further neighbouring countries
in order to create as comparable and "permeable" structures as possible for model aircraft pilots
in Europe. The three associations agreed to hold further talks at the Friedrichshafen trade fair
with the aim of promoting model aviation across national borders.
