Nikolay Timofeev

Nikolay entered his first competition at the National Aerobatics Championships of Russia in 1980, when he also became a member of the Russian national aerobatics team.

Since then he has constantly participated in all World and European Aerobatics Championships, the Breitling World Cup and the World Grand Prix of Aerobatics. His brilliant skill and artistry in the air has won the admiration of judges as well as press and spectators all over the world, along with many medals and awards. He is also qualified and an International Judge.

Since 1992 Nikolay has flown at most of the biggest air shows in mainland Europe and the Scandinavian countries using his own Sukhoi-26M airplane. As a certified pilot-engineer, he works from time to time as a test pilot for Sukhoi factory for modification of the airplane.

Nikolay has devised a computer program to give the "Finest adjustment of the Sukhoi aileron system" which ensures always the right control feel for the airplane.
