Did you manage to get a pic/vid of the Micro Floh going to it's resting place.

Nope not a single bit of any of the Floh's sorry

Cancel that movie maker wont save the movie for some reason, ive tryed 8 times and a total reedit and its still not saving it

So ive seen my bottom and will revisit tomorrow

Dummy spat, toys everywhere!

Andy

Oh yes

Barnes, to be honest, it does sound like Movie Maker is suffering from a severe lacking in the machine peripheral input device to operator interface.....

Andy

duno it keeps failing to save giving me a multitude of reasons why. Ive no idea whats up with it as im using the same methods thats ive used for the past few years!

Damm thing

Kewl video Mark That's the last time you'll see the Vector looking that good it chomped on some Llandudno Rock yesterday

Gutted!, what happened?

M

Oh! didn't digest the text really, what happened

I cocked up the launch

Ahh potatoes luck, nice one on the hands up though

Is it bad?

M

Could be worse I guess, snapped fus right where it gets real thin at the back end, and one tailplane half mainly.
The wind just gusted down on her as I launched with a bit too much power and down angle on the edge - but you know how fragile these darn things are and TBF Brian had no time to recover.
So, that now means after a lousy week, I cant fly or launch anyone else's models in future.
I will let Brian describe the damage, but, my bad, and I feel right shite now.

Damage is pretty much as per Tim's description apart from there's some damage to the underside of one wing and the L/E seam has popped in the same place which will help with the repair really as I can wedge the L/E open and work on the inside of the damage. I've more or less got the tailfeather sorted apart from the cosmetics. Like the Phoenix it will arise from the ashes.

At least you have worn the newness off it now, and when it does re-appear on the slopes, you won't feel bad about flying it like you stole it!

Andy

Yeah, Un-lucky there tim, but hey these things happen! (Not that you need telling that )
I would say that the video was pretty good... but nickel back.... Really???
Come on!!!!
