Wednesday 1.9.10

To celibrate the birth of Andy's little girl I think its only right we all go the field and have a cracking night!

Tonight i shall be comiting the ultimate sin, going completly old school flying a New Retro Cresent Bullet, On Tupperware FASST , Only saving grace is the fact its electric

And on that note has anyone got an old pic of a Cresent Bullet preferably off of the eighties showing a pilot too, need one for a promo vid, Ta


Anyone else coming?

Oooooo Im dont know!!!
If I can get back from caernarfon for 4ish and get to the field for 5.. I will just have to pay attention to the time

Very eventfull evening, good turn out with Bri, Rich, Sam, Alan and Peter all in atendance.

Sam had his first walk into the corn field, Brian had engine trouble, Alan had an exiting landing and the Bullet flew a dream

All good fun

I may be late tomorrow he he

did you dial 999 & ask for the coastguard I have the real one hear you know that ones a dummy version to throw you

Yep yet another ZDZ 80 bit the dust in my Sukhoi this afternoon, it turned out the butterfly screw had worked loose in the carb (peened in at the Walbro factory) and was then ingested by the engine. I managed to cut the motor fairly quickly when hearing the rattle but the damage occurs in milliseconds. On getting home after stripping the motor at the field I've been up in my loft and I reckon I've got enough spares to rebuild it at no cost so I'm in for a busy morning tomorrow

Well It was a fun night.
Tims 'cheap and chearfull' hobby king rx decided it didnt want to play nice anymore, It didnt even go into failsafe mode and just yanked it into a sort of snap roll and sent it into a dive. Battery was fine and it wasent the Tx playing up again as I range tested and flew the cougar without a hitch after the breese went down. all repairable

Tupperware Fasst, it's the future

Me and the little 'un have been sat looking out of the hospital window this evening, looking over towards the field. Saw the odd plane or two as well. She wasn't overly impressed, although the small gurgling sound could be a sign of excitement

Andy

I told you so, bring on the best food container money can buy
