Peter Bröckerhoff enjoys flying model airplanes.

“What I like most about model flying is the unique opportunity to operate extraordinary airplanes,” he said.

He likes the JetPower Event, which used to be held in Neuenahr-Ahrweiler but not held in Donauworth. The teamwork and people make the event worthwhile.

The cooperation with the [Schübeler Company](https://www.schuebeler-jets.de/de/) is excellent because of the communication with Christian Wileschek. He noted Wileschek’s willingness to help, and if he can’t, they always get help from Daniel Schübeler.

The Swift S1 is a scale glider, so it has an actual prototype. It is equipped with a DS-51-DIA HST and operated with a 12S version with 6,000 milliampere-hours, at a current of about 85 amperes in flight.

“This allows real thrust times of about four and a half minutes, and thus a flight time of about seven to eight minutes,” he said. It has a wingspan of about 3.80 meters and an electric retractable landing gear. The impeller can be retracted and extended during flight with a Ceflix Drive.

“A very practical model,” he said, “which is suitable for acrobatics, which has very nice, slow flight characteristics.

The YAK-130 is equipped with the DS-130-HST and powered by a 14S2P drive with 12-ampere hours. This allows a flight time of about six minutes. The model reaches a current of about 240 amperes and a gross thrust of about 17 kilos.

When he isn’t flying model airplanes, he works in the financial industry and runs his own business.
