I’m thinking about whether we should hold another meeting for Eppg in 2025? The last meeting was years ago. An official place in Bavaria is available again if we need it. I’m open to your suggestions. If you want, we can also hold a small competition. In different classes, or just for fun like target landing, tipping over poles, etc.
If there is enough interest, I’ll be happy to look after the airfield and organize that maybe manufacturers of wings come to visit, as well as many DIY PPG pilots who are not active on the internet, but with whom I have good contact. I look forward to hearing from you. A valid license and insurance are required. Best wishes
P.S. Of course, pilots who are currently still building their EPPG and just want to be there can also get in touch. We are happy to help you and there are many propellers and material available for tests on the ground. I am also happy to bring my new generation folding propeller (for 14 S to 15 S systems Hacker QLS 150 or Geiger HPD 10/12) and if you like you can try it out with EPPG thermal flying.
I think it is a great idea, in fact you should widen your horizon and have it here in good old US of A, Seriously, I have a feeling that there are more EPPG flyers here than anywhere else. I would go so far as to propose my friend and trainer Eric Dufour’s excellent facility in Jasper, very close to Jacksonville, Florida. What do you say?
Awesome Asim
PS: I am confident that quite a few people would be interested in hearing about your exploits in this field!
Hi, I live in Austria on the border with Germany, which is in central Europe. I would like to organize a meeting here. It has to be easy for everyone in europe if they travel there by car.
A meeting this year is a good idea. This time I will have enough batteries for much air time.
There is a PPG forum in Germany with some EPPG pilots that might be interested, too. I could start a thread to check this.
Thomas - Please post a link for information regarding your folding propellers.

Hello everyone, I want to avoid misunderstandings, so I’m providing additional information.
It’s a friendly meeting between active pilots with electric PPG and trike and also e-rogallos and pilots who are currently building electric PPG.
It’s not a public event.
There is no sale of material or entire EPPG.
No test flights are offered.
No EPPG manufacturers are present as exhibitors.
Pilots who want to take part will be informed personally by email.
We’re currently still in the planning phase. As soon as dates are set, I’ll give a contact address.
I’m going to make a video in the summer where I show all 4 different folding prollers from the last 7 years. As inspiration for other DIY people. I’ve deliberately stopped showing pictures for a while now because there are always a lot of people who think I want to make a lot of money with it. The development is a hobby of mine, of course with practical use for myself. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t understand that. They think when I show a picture it’s a sales offer and I get a lot of emails in a day.
unfortunately there hasn’t been enough interest in an EPPG meeting in Germany this year either. We’ll try again in 2026.
It’s a bit of a shame because I would have liked to show the DIY fans some new things. MGM has new ESCs weighing just 400 grams for EPPG thermal projects with more than enough power.
There’s also another manufacturer in this class from the Czech Republic that produces the best products.
Insiders in the scene have known about it for some time from Hacker Industrial. I’ll get in touch again at the beginning of 2026 to arrange a meeting.
Unfortunately, I’ve made the same experience. Nearly everyone I’d asked showed not much interest. In the german PPG forum there was almost no response.
Thanks for your feedback and your help in maybe organizing an event. I’d be happy to offer to test out the latest folding propeller if you’re ever in my area. A set will be ready around July, and I’d be happy to lend it to you for a few months. It’s important to me that I explain the system to you and that we fly it together for the first time. It’s competition material, and I think it’ll be a good fit for your system. See you then. I’ll be in touch.
Your battery design is great. There are many new filaments for 3D printing that we’re currently testing.
Thank you for your offer. Indeed I’m planning to visit a friend in eastern Bavaria this summer and maybe I can combine this and travel a few more kilometers to you.
