The most difficult aerobatic schedules are flown, specially developed for this event which takes place every 2 years.
10 judges, 5 invited from Full Size Judges panel and 5 from Model Aerobatics judging are measuring the quality of these competitors.
A Model flying field was specially built for these competitions at a cost of 1 Million US Dollar by the owner of Circus Circus.
This video presentation is missing the first day of this event because the recorded Sony video 8 tapes have gone missing.
I have recorded 3 TOC competition before , one from 1988 is at my channel listed.
The Irish competitor John Beasley and Capt Joe Dible where helpful in the recording of this event.
A third party in Lab Ireland kindly digitalised my Video hi8 recordings
Thank You to them!

What a fantastic video! Most of the planes are Bob Godfrey kits. I had the same Bob Godfrey Ultimate 10-300 kit with the exact same Red, White & Blue Color scheme. I still own a 40% & 27% Godfrey Extra 300 today. BEST FLYING PLANES EVER BUILT!!!!!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you for the visit to my channel with mainly R/C related videos! You are correct about the models flown at that event. Have fun with your Extra's 300 from Bob Goodfrey. I am more a Scale flyer, I never had the accuracy and skill to fly aerobatics. Most of my colleges here still do. This was not my first TOC, twice before but I recorded only the 1988 event.

Was that the year Hanno broke his arm?

[@ScaleJetFred]

No saito! Thanks for your visit to my channel. I know because I had close contact with Hanno then. He was prevented to compete 1979 in the F3A World Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa. I was the Irish F3A Team Manager for that event. !990, to my knowledge, Hanno was disqualified from the TOC for, what he disputed, a size difference of his new plane to the TOC specifications! I visited and spoke to Hanno many times in his home because I had a suppliere located in Klagenfurt, his home town. Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Fred

[@ravebrave8866]

@@ScaleJetFred was the disqualification from the TOC was a right decision? was the plane really not right ??

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hanno broke his Arm shortly before the 1979 World Champs in Johannesburg, South Afrika Thanks for watching, Fred
