Weekend31st/1st

Forecasts are looking slightly better for the weekend although probably enough wind for either the Orme or the field. Think it'll be the field for me as I'm still trying to sort the motor in the Ultimate

No flying for me this weekend, I'm over in Macclesfield living it up in a posh hotel courtesy of Tesco's clubcard

Well, I say no flying, I may have accidentally left my Microbee wing and tx in the car.....

Andy

Well im dogsitting saturday for my aunt, but if sunday is good I will defotry to go flying, mum will take me... I think

Wife and kids are away so im planing on taking up residence at the field this weekend getting more and more bored with my fleet.

BTW anyone got a 15x8E prop lying around save me going to a model goods outlet?

Im on the way down to brave the mud Maiden planed for the E2K pylin racer!

its looking VERRY windy here, but prestayn station is only showing 14-15mph

Its Orme weather !!

sat here with danny and john about. 10mph had 2 flights and the sun is out. Happy days

looks like a resonable day for the field, bit cloudy but 8-10mph anyone else going down?

yes

Well I will try to, I need to convince mum first

vidi cam carged

Orme.....

No.. no.. Just no....

Well what an afternoon, there was a good turn out with pleanty of action!!!
Mark dumped his not so fast pylon racer into a bush, not to sure how that turned out I managed to lose a wheel during flight which made for an interesting landing!
Im getting there with my stall turns and invted curciuts
Rich flew the big yack 54 with a bit of a bouncy landing
Also Bri's big Ultimate 200 was absolutly beatiful in the sky!

Yes good afternoon, great turn out, and I think a good time was had by all. I seem to have cured my engine woes on the Ultimate but still need some experimentation with props me thinks.
A big thanks to Rich for letting me have a play with his new Yak 54, a fantastic machine an absolute joy to fly, only trouble is it's something else on my wish list now, I suspect it will be on the unfulfilled list for a long time though

Up early can't sleep for some reason so got some pics from yesterday out of my camera. There's three of Richie's new Yak and a general pits shot, probably the busiest pits we've had for a while and the weather wasn't too brilliant, "BBQ summers" who needs um

Thanks to Brian & Mark for all the help getting setup & ready

Sam, I've got 2 wheels on my wagon but I'm still rolling along..!!!

Cracking day yesterday (quite literaly)

Was great to see so many people out enjoying what in fairness were pukka flying conditions.

Rich`s new Yak is fantastic, im insanly Jealous, Bri`s Ulti is now behaving mush better dipite it trying to give me a heart atack when it backfires, Sam and Peter are both flying really well which is nice to see.

Mike had a good day after a carb rebuild from Rich, and everyone else seemed to be trouble free apart from little old me

Can you spot the plane?

Andy, Peter and me in full cowboy mode!

Thats my little (crap) E2K pylin racer, also had trouble with my little Yak ESC problems so i changed the ESC then spanked the model, and also had a loose retract on the Hun followed by a loose fan,

'Cath is ok though!

I now know why there is a 2 in the "E2k" name for the pylon racer. It obviously refers to the number of centres that the elevator control has... Still, putting through a rather large bush was probably for the best The fiishing expedition to recover the wing was fun though



Andy

did you find the fuz after all?

Yeah got the fuz that was on the floor the other side of the tree, didnt even break the prop! Told you to have ago that would have saved all the agro lol
