Aircombat model Ki-61 desiged by Ilkka Hollappa is also quite popular in Slovenia. Marko Frank, Tomaz Svoljsak, Felix Znidarcic, Andrej Pervinsek, Nejc Novak, Peter Ozura. Normaly with MVVS .15 with black silencer. I haven’t seen this model with .21 engine even it is acceptable by recent rules. Excellent fighter.
I flew this particular fighter in our last contest in Litija: Two cuts with prop and 4th place before final round. Unfortunately engine died in final and I finished this contest on the 6th place. The engine is brand new and that’s why I fly with smaller prop.
