Charmouth highs & lows

[Ross Northcott]

Great event as normal, weather held up better than i was expecting, just want to know what was peoples high and lows?
My high was seeing Robgt & richie spanking my Sab Goblin, at least i know now it wont boom strike, i dont know what the move was called when rob went flat out accross the flight line and flipped it forward and just stopped it dead on the spot, but was a awesome move, and Richie doing backwards loops so fast i lost sight, and it was scary especially when he was doing it straight at you.
The low was when i heard Sam ( cyanosam ) crashed his Goblin and it caught fire, not good and i feel sorry for him.
Didn't see to many crashes which was good and bring on the next Charmouth event.

Wall stops, cheers Chris, yeah if the Goblin was gonna explode that would have been the moment.

"Wall Stops" if every a move was aptly named! I think we all thought Rob was going for a high speed pass then WHAM nose down and stopped in midair!!!....spectacular!!

seeing the goblins being spanked was fantastic.shame sam's ended up in such a mess.another very big high was being with sam/raj/nick/andy/darren and a few others night flying on the beach with their wings a small shocky and sam going mental with a 450 all lit up in green .A great show for all the locals that came pouring out from a pub to see the ufo's lol.the down side was the weather got worse but still a great weekend.

My high was watching rob spanking the goblin, my opinion has defo changed on that heli.
My lows were that both mine had mech issues and I only managed one full flight all day, no damaged models just that I couldn't solve the issues in the field

Highs: both helis still in the air
low: the weather!!

[robgt]

Thanks guys - I enjoyed flying it
The move is called a Nose Down Wall - feel free to call it at any flyin while someone is flying - it's the law for them to then do this move!!
LOL

Great Charmouth, once again - good to see you all!
Cheers,
Rob

Yes I filmed the flight where Rob checked the requisite 185mm between blade tip and boom, 3 times...... evil man. Ross you are brave, I seem to remember last April Charmouth was it, everything Rob touched went in or exploded mid air or combinations of the two.

Video is uploading now - post link when done.

That is the move you praised me for recently if I'm not mistaken Rob.

Sounds like you had fun guys.

Highs:
seeing the progression of Rob Turnbull and Dave Fisher over the last year, excellent technical world class flying, tells me never give up or believe you have reached the end of your ability. This years Champs should be very good.
Seeing a Goblin, a TDR and a Logo XXtreme all get spanked in the same place, for gods sake people!!!! you are on Heli ADDICTS, if you were an enthusiast let alone an addict and you missed that when you could have gone.... shame on you!!
The full size hughes landing wasn't your average mundane occurance either.

Lows: the weather, the 4 hour drive, the cost of diesel....
