Using Imagination and Skill to Win the Design Cup

It was the personal wish of the great electric flight pioneer Fred Militky that the trophy named after him should recognize an interesting and innovative design. Since then, the coveted Militky Cup has been awarded about thirty times.

As early as 1973, the MG Pfäffikon held its first electric aircraft meet. It was held for the second time in 1975 and, starting in 1976, was named after Fred Militky. Over the years, Militky’s wish to award a trophy for truly exceptional model designs has been upheld. This continues to encourage experimentation and model building to this day. Naturally,

that the models have to fly, too.

Andreas Locher has made a name for himself over many years as a specialist designer, builder, and pilot of the smallest electric models. This year, his small and tiniest designs once again caught everyone’s attention. The “Pythagorassel” is nothing short of ingenious in its small size and airworthiness. Who will take home the trophy next year?
