The name PIK comes from Finnish words "Polyteknikkojen Ilmailukerho ry" = An
Aviation club of the Polytechnicians (or something like that in English). The club has been established in the year 1931 I believe. The number 27 is the aircraft design number 27. The club seems to have a site (in Finnish). http://pik.tky.fi/joomla/index.php?o...3&Itemi d=108 JP "Paul Remde" wrote in message:Jhijh.325538$1i1.310861@attbi_s72... Hi, Why the "Pik-27" name?

Keep up that good Scandinavian design tradition! http://www.tmrcsailplanes.com/schweizer-1-30-model.html Anyone know what happened to this fifty year old attempt by the Schweizer Brothers to produce a dedicated towplane, the SA 1-30. Looks like not enough powder, but gliders, like most of us were much lighter back then. By the way, check out some of the other models at this site. Maybe Mr. Martin could be talked into make an appearance with some of his beautiful models in Memphis this coming spring. Gunnar in snowy Denver, Merry Christmas! Where did she hide those cookies? All weather airport, every airport is all weather, you just can't fly in "all" the weather. |
