I was at the field today between 14:00 & 15:00 all on my own , good flying too. There is a dead sheep along the fence line towards the gate from the pits, I saw the farmer so reported this to her. I hope no one had plans for a BBQ Smile .

Jem and I braved the Orme today for a couple of hours - in between the icy showers the 40MPH+ Westerly gave good lift and we had fun racing his Luna and my Jart around.
( just needed to remember this was NOT combat as it usually is with me and Jem Very Happy )

I Flew Jem's L.E.G Fish which was most impressive for a foam model - he has done a super covering job on it - the wing could pass for a veneered or even composite jobby!

I also maidened one of my 2011 models - Mark's old micro-floh - went very well now its glued together right Razz ....much better than Rich's was Shocked

But 'twas a tad windy for the little Weasel EVO so I gave up after a few attempts at a maiden flight - obviously needs some trimming /COG adjustment, and 40MPH wet-wind is not the best conditions to do it Sad
Still, it was nice to get out and up there again...roll on summer and dry fields. sunny
