Bahh,,

I had my Sport all charged up,the Airwolf ready to test fly and i couldnt get my oil change on my car done in time because the pratts at Hendy Ford buggered the sump plug up when some idiot refitted it last time

Thanks to my very patient and clever mechanic friend we sorted it though

Out today test flying a jet The one in the front of the pic.Sorry not an hely but never mind. The f16 is next time.

That jet looks cool, where are you testing it at?

[showtime]

the wind wasn't too bad for us as long as you stayed below the treeline but it got a bit bit gusty later on!
i managed my first few tanks of fuel & came home all in 1 piece so i'm reasonably happy with that

Well lets see what today has to offer.Im flying in essex today, there is no tree line. so i hope the wind is a bit kinder??? Looks like its going to be cold as well

got heli loaded in the car yesterday just popped in to say to the wife im off, and she had 1 off funny turns and spent 5 hours down the hospital

shes ok after decent sleep.


whilst waiting i was suprised how many drunks was in that time of the afternoon and the nurses were professional as ever.

Managed to blag the afternoon off on Friday and started with the T-Rex then moved to the Raptor when the wind picked up then moved on to the Zagi when it picked up even more.

A bit frustrating as I wanted a good session on the T-Rex (was forgetting how to fly it!).

A good afternoons fun and all 3 models got an airing so thats good.

You need a Knight 3D

you don't need anything bigger than 50 ever. 90 flyers have small equipment and use heli to make up for it

Why you got one for sale then mate

Global warming due to too much methanol & Nitro being burned by Knight owners I reckon Stu

I know it made great flying whether, the heli did not feel it apart form forward flying and as for the planks, I was practicing landing backwards and high speed passes



Did have to hold me foot on top of the plane to prevent it doing auto take off and dead sticks were intresting...........hover and catch.
