Herewith several photo's of my TC Piper.

This Piper took roughly 400 hours to complete; spread over 4 months. Is powered by the Titan ZG 38SC and the stainless steel silencer #3877 with intake air being sucked out of the fuselage.

Covering is coloured ECOTEX film. Radio is JR SX 9 servos plus two sets of Nicad batteries. All up weight is 9 kg.

First flight without slightest trouble. Must get used to the very effective wing flaps.

The engine started and run perfectly with surprisingly little vibration (20 x 8 propeller 6500 rpm).

Best regards,

A. Röthlisberger

Major Bob Jacquot lived for a number of years in Bammental near Heidelberg. Over 20 years ago had one of the first Piper kits from Toni, from which he built this really fine model. Power at this time was naturally only the Quadra.

Bob was a U.S. Navy photograher which is clearly shown by the quality of these shots. In the second world war he survived 5 invasion landings in the South Pacific Theater being in the first waves ashore, photographing and filming the struggle of life and death in the very thick of the fighting. He also received a U.S. Navy Citation for one of the"Great Dramitic Photographs of The War". Later, pulled into the Korean war as a pilot, Bob flew the Cessna Bird Dog and the Bell H-13 helicopter for the U.S. Army. Later he was transferred to Germany where he flew twin engine aircraft for the U.S. Army Headquarters in Heidelberg as well as helicopters.

In the meantime he is long in retirement, due to his being unable to be accepted in the German medical insurance system; unfortunately Bob has been forced to return to his native Southern California.
