The last round of the STOL season, counting towards the 2026 French championship, ended on a high note at the Ferté-Gaucher aeronautical site (near Paris). Despite inclement weather, a dozen competitors took part in the event. The commitment and determination of the pilots ensured that the competition remained at a high level.
The talented Eric Grare won the competition with his Zlin Savage Bobber, which was not prepared for STOL events this year. It is equipped with a Rotax 912S 100 hp engine and a standard 190 cm diameter Glorieuse variable pitch propeller.
Best result: takeoff in 9.5 m and landing in 12.7 m, for a total of 22.2 m ! WOW ! 🤩 👍 ❤️
The second, Michel Gaignard, flying his Savannah S 912S, was also equipped with an E-Props propeller. Durandal-3, diameter 190 cm.
