Those who understand that good things get even better when combined will know that football and cars go together like cheese and jam - perfectly! "Re- vo-Ball" uses the basic principles of the conventional football, but with loads of added fun and action-packed elements. High-tech mini speedsters steered by RC pros play against each other, racing up and down the pitch, jumping over each other, with the sole aim of mercilessly smashing the ball into the oppon- ent's net. Mega fun for spectators and players!

Heavy-duty vehicles, scalers and crawlers on two truck layouts and the con- struction site as well as historic and modern tanks on the military layout fascin- ate the model engineering community with their technical brilliance and detailed perfection. Welcome to the Modelltruck-Festival 2017 at FASZINATION MODELL- TECH in Sinsheim!

High flyers par excellence They may be slow and sedate but they are capable of the most amazing acro- batics and offer their avid audience a truly spectacular event. In the ever-popu- lar "Indoor Action" show with exciting special light effects and accompanied by appropriate music the RC slow flyers will again fly incredible manoeuvres and introduce state-of-the-art innovations. Dedicated 'AIRtists' perform hair-raising flight acrobatics, the exhibitors' latest featherweight models are presented in full action floating up to the roof of the hall, and numerous self-builds offer un- paralleled inspiration, especially for young modellers, in this moderated indoor flight show.

Climb in and take off! For the first time the German Aero Club will be bringing a glider flight simulator to FASZINATION MODELLTECH - so come aboard and take off! Flight characteristics and manoeuvres are realistically simulated, just as they would be flown in a real plane. Take-off, landing, thermic gliding and hang- gliding (almost) fulfil the dream of being able to fly. And those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground are sure to find a suitable model to see the world from a bird's eye view among the popular drones offered by numerous suppli- ers.

"Serious model-making" is fun for kids Being actively involved in the technical creativity of modelling makes it especially easy for the younger generation to be motivated by the wide spectrum of model engineering. After all, they are the racing drivers, flying aces and precision artists of tomorrow. That is why this year the first day of the fair is again dedicated to local school classes and kindergartens. Over 200 youngsters are expected to be there, joining in the fun for some "serious model-making". For example at the crafts area of the Aichner stand, where kids can design their own simple aircraft or boat model and build it under expert guidance. The parts are cut or sawn directly out of wood, then sanded and glued together. Drills, hot air dryers and other necessary tools are all available at the stand to enhance the ultimate modelling experience at FASZINATION MODELLTECH.
