thurs 9th

anyone venturing out? tis blowin a good un here!

be rude not to show my face i supose aprox 6.30pm

Sorry I did not get over this evening, the weather looked crap until about 7.45 so I nipped up to my local patch ( only a mile from the cottage) for an hour of electric fun. Bit windy but at least I got my fix

Hope to be over Saturday if the weathewr clears. Hope you got a fly in, knowing my luck it was flat calm all evening

No worries Dave It was a bit blowy down at the field. Not enough to stop a bit of hooning around with the rather tired Funjet. It's now even more tireder after a rather interesting Barnesy inverted landing, and a wicked tailslide into the deck from me! Nothing a bit of duct tape, Cyno and tender love and care won't sort out though!

I'm still gutted that we have'nt had any calm weather since I finished my Blarster 2 DLG. It's like the weather gods know I want to fly it in some nice calm conditions.....

Cheers

I landed inverted to save the prop which u duely broke 5 mins later!

Leigh also had one of the most spectaculr crashes ive ever seen with a rudder elevater model how it lasted 4 mins i`ll never know!

M

Twas veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrry twitchy. I feel partly reponsible as I supplied the 1/2A starter that got the little cox motor going. Naaah not really!!!!

Leigh, I've dug out (bad choice of words after yesterdays incident ) some new spare starter springs for cox 049's. Let me know if you want any.

cheers Al, shes all repaired and ready to throw at the floor again. albeit with a little less rudder movement!!!

Brilliant! I'm not turning teh video camera off this time. It is stying on, regardless of whether I can actually keep up with the swallow-like turns, swoops, dives and rolls......

Andy

Leigh, let me know when your going down the field again and I,ll bring some starter springs - and a hard hat!!!!!!

And me! I'll bring the movie film camera, a steady hand, and I'll be double 'ard and not wear a Hard hat, just the usual shorts and sandals (and possibly socks if I decide to have an early mid-life-crisis)....

Andy

And just whats wrong with wearing socks with sandles???????????????????
