It is as of my youth than I followed my father on the field (6 month), like during the competitions of free flight. It is thanks to him which I had this passion.
After having practised the free flight and the Ucontrol, it is at the 10 years old that I practised the radio order.
Having always been fascinated by the aerobatic planes.
I began the competition in 1985 (at the 16 years old), and did my first French championship in 1986 where I was classified 14 th with a “Arrow”.
In 1987 I won my first French championship what gave access to me the international aerobatic class (F3A), with one of my first design “the super Manchot”.
It is into 1990 that I won the title of F3A French champion, as my first participation in team of France for the European championship in Austria where I could compete against my idol “Mr. Hanno Prettner”.
1991 were one year important for me, because I obtained my first employment (within the Cogéma company), as my first participation in a world championship which was held in Australia where I was classified 17 th with “the super Manchot”.
In 1994 following my result with the world championship of 1993 (where I finished 14 th ), I was invited to take part in the TOC of LasVegas (a dream of child which is carried out) where I finish in an incredible 3 rd place with a “CAP 231 EX”
1996 my 1 st title of European champion in Czech Republic with my “Topline”.
1999 the unimaginable of my 10 years is carried out in Florida where I am crowned “the world champion” with “alliance”.
2000 I am the winner of the TOC of Las Vegas with “EXTRA 330” .
2005 will be for me one year unforgettable because I am the world champion in my country in front of my family and my friends. Moreover in November I become the dad of small a Antonin that I dedicate this victory.
After 17 titles of French champion, 5 titles of European champion, 4 titles of world champion, victorious of 3 editions IAM to Japan, 1 time winner of the TOC, I can say that the model air planes enables me to discover a small part of the world, but especially it brings an enrichment to me on the human level from where beautiful friendships were born. |
