Sunday Jan 4th sloping on the Orme

Got to to the Orme and Rich gave my Fox it's maiden (should it be vixen) went well but too much elevator was the testpilots report so made a few adjustments on the trannie and then the rains descended on us and stopped play for while no probs as plenty of flasks were present, even I had one which Rich remarked as being a first Eventually the weather relented but the wind had veered north and reduced a little, I launched the Fox for Rich again the plan was for him to check out the elevator and then pass the trannie over to me but then the wind dropped the Fox was landed out and it was game over for the day
All in all a good day out plenty of locals up there myself, Rich, Roy Barnes, Tim Mackey, Jem Mathews, Mats Akesson with who I later found out was his eldest son on a visit from Sweden and loads of other guys locals and visitors who sadly I can't at the moment put names to. Really good craic as the boys from Ireland say

glad you had a good day, once it started raining here i sacked it off

You are not wrong there he had just flown through a Multiplex Fox.

He kept insisting that the Fox was reversing at the time though

A quick picture of Brian's Fox before the maiden...

Just to clarify it wasn't my Fox that was reversing and which Jem disected

Indeed it wasnt.... it was none other than Steve Dorling's - he has, I believe, sent Jeremy an invoice for the glue

Tim rumour has it that Mr Dorling is quite apt to switch on and to hell with the consequenses is that so ?

Couldnt possibly comment Brian.....
Besides, I dont care who switches on what or when anymore - 2.4 G...its the future NOW

Oh yes me as well it gets exhausting getting your aerial up
