THE Ciklon I was designed following five earlier models. This latest model, while preserving the style and geometry of its predecessors, is of a size more in line with modern development. The models MME 31 and 32, which took part in the World Championship '77, were constructed in 1975. They have proved benevolent right from the start, suffering only minor landing injuries. In the National Championship '75, I won first place. In the World Championship in 1975, I placed tenth from among 42 finalists. In the European Championship in 1976 this model again placed tenth. The models 31 and 32 successively won first place in the Miners Cup competitions, between 1975 and 1977. In 1977, I was the winner of the international competition of the Socialist countries, held in Yerevan. This was followed by the World Championship in Roskilde, Denmark. Twenty-two competitors were qualified for the final, of whom 13 managed to get into the second round, and only 8 of us survived for the final start. It was very satisfying to me to win the silver medal with this fine model.
