Thanks Karel,
after your message I got a clear memory!!!
I have been once in your huge and personal hangary in Belgium.
That was beside your wonderful home and your beatiful wife (wishes!).
I am not sure but think Mr. Tervamaki has nothing to do w PIK 25.
The early design was made in 1960 in the Univercity of Helsinki
by PIK
PIK = Polyteknikkojen Ilmailu Kerho = The Club of The Aviation M. Sc.
They cancelled the project during seventies.
After, Mr. J Hakala took the project and made it completed during lets say 15
years.
With diesel engine of course.
And you can be sure that is better than Thielert.
Please let some wishes to your near neigbour Chantal & Dirk!
Marke & Raimo
.

Raimo,
Congratulations to all the finish airmen. Pik has a good reputation. Is
there also one with shoulder wings? Is Tervamaki the designer?
Regards,
Karel Vranken. F-PKRL 200 hours and annual inspection.

All
This is quite far from Europa world (except Wilkch-operators) but maybe you
are interested:
My friend Mr Jarmo Hakala made a succesfull 40 minutes flight with his
only-one-in-the-world
Pik 25 OH-XXV powered with 100% Bio-Diesel. Fuel was regenerated from
vegetable oil
and those people who were there said the smell after take-off was similar to
McDonalds.
After flight those people with Mr Hakala "cheers" with that drinkable fuel.
Official supervisor for that event in Jarmos own airport EFNS was Mr P
Teravainen
That was probably first time in the aviation history.
Google OH-XXV
Regards, Raimo
PS: he was early days a potential Europa builder but assumed to be too tall
193 cm /76".
