How it begun
The RC Kavala Acro Team was established in 2013 in Kavala city in North Eastern Greece. The four members of the Team are relatives and consist of two generations of brothers (father, sons and uncle) all of them sharing the same passion for RC aeromodelling.
The two older brothers (Dimitrios and Konstantinos) were first involved with aeromodelling back in 1979. From the beginning, they showed special interest in aerobatic planes and the most successful airplane they built and flew at that time, was the famous Curare, the well known design of Hanno Prettner, World Champion from Austria.
The next step was the involvement with gas engines which gradually took head start of the glow counterparts. Progressively, larger gas engines and planes were added in the fleet and inevitably the workshop became more spacious and well equipped with various tools, hardware and accessories. Nowadays, glow engines with displacement from 6,5cc up to 26cc and gas engines from 35cc up to 170cc can be found in the inventory, most of them with two cylinders and in boxer configuration.
The passion for RC planes was soon inherited to the younger generation, the brothers Sokratis and Achilleas. They started flying RC planes at the age of 8 and they soon became excellent pilots with much more upgraded skills than the older brothers !!! The members of the Team are also members of the “Melissochori Aeromodelling Club” and the “Hellenic Aeronautical and Airsports Federation. The aim is to share joy and ideas with any modeler all over the world addicted to aerobatic RC modelling.

Dimitrios was born in 1961. His first encounter with modelling was in 1974 with plastic model airplanes but soon in 1979 he switched into the ΄΄real stuff΄΄, to the world of airmodelling, with O.K Pilot΄s Junior 100 to act as the entry model aeroplane. With his younger brother Konstantinos acting as a most valuable aid, he continues till today dealing with his beloved hobby with the same passion as that of the very first day. Nowadays except from an experienced flyer and instructor to younger pilots, he is the ΄΄Chief engineer΄΄ of the Kavala Rc Acro Team.

Consequently, larger scale aerobatic planes were added, both monoplanes and biplanes, such as the Extra 300, Sbach 342, Pitts Model 12 and Yak 54 from 29% to 37,5% scale.
The passion for RC planes was soon inherited to the younger generation, the brothers Sokratis and Achilleas.
