Orme today 12/5/2011

Had a good session at the Orme today, good lift but a little showery, it was overcast so no decent flying shots, just this one of Jem and Zaid trying to get Zaid's Luna plumbed into his new trannie. As Zaid was on at tight schedule timewise this was not achieved and wisely in my view he decided not to maiden the Luna today. Hopefully it will get it's maiden flight tomorrow

It'll fly like a dream I would imagine, just think what it was like when you first maidened your helicopter Zaidy, you'll love it once it's in the air

Yeah nice model,

Bri judging by the speed you passed me on the 55 you were on a tight shedule too

Thanks for the post/ photo Brian.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Just got back from the garage and I finally figured out the cause and how to resolve it

Rich I really can't wait to maiden it as I have had it for 10 weeks ( between jobs) ad Jeremy has been really great with the build and the support.

Christ - does Jem never work!?

Just a quick update, went to the Orme today with Jem and Denis Tan, we had a great morning flying and I managed to maiden my Luna and Denis Maiden his Luna too. Then we were joined by Tim and Marty and the day just got better what great fun we had.
It started to rain around 1630 we all packed up and were getting ready to leave then the rain stopped and the day just got even better. What a great laugh was had by all.


Few photos

Then we all called it a night as the weather was coming around 1830.....

Pleased you all had such an excellent time!
