KRILL Aircraft Team Pilots
Behind every great aircraft stands a great pilot.
The KRILL Aircraft Team Pilots represent our passion for precision, performance, and aerobatic excellence across Europe and beyond. From international competitions and airshows to major RC events, our pilots actively test, fly, and showcase KRILL Aircraft models in real flying conditions.
Our team brings together experienced pilots from different disciplines - IMAC, aerobatics, jet flying, demonstrations, and international competitions, helping us continuously improve our aircraft through real-world feedback and experience.
The team also includes the Flippers Aerobatic Team, known for their impressive synchronized flying and passion for precision aerobatics, representing KRILL Aircraft at major aviation and RC events.
Our pilots are more than ambassadors, they are an important part of the KRILL family, contributing through testing, setup experience, public demonstrations, content creation, and support within the RC community.
This page will continue to grow as we introduce more official team pilots, featured aircraft, setups, achievements, and behind-the-scenes stories.
Meet the people behind KRILL Aircraft.
