This is my local fly-in this weekend, its spilt 50-50 Helis and Planes, but with most of the guys down from my local heli club RVMHC theres going to be almost as many helis as plank ! - hope the weather plays ball.

So if you dont know about it you now do!

Just got back from the Blackburn Fly-In. What a superb day!! The weather was as good as you could get. Plenty of flying done. Trying to learn inverted hovering. Its coming slowly.

Had a bit of a mishap last night at the set-up. Just fitted a Scorpion 1900KV motor to my 500 and I tried a friends new RockAmp 6S lipo pack. I've never seen anything like it!!! The head speed was ballistic. Did a few circuits and then the tail let go piro-ing like mad. The photos of the end result are on TrexMAD website. I think the Spartan gyro came apart. Done all three cyclic servos!! Never mind it'll be flying again in a few weeks.

Cracking day and a weekend, managed to use a full bottle of fuel so got some flyingin for a change until the throttle servo stopped working !

Thanks to all that came along

Absolutelty superb weekend!!! The weather made it. Some great flying just topped the weekend. I managed to do a ten second intverted hover and both 700's still in one peice. Even Country & Westerns' RJX XTreme went home in one piece!

The highlights were Qal's (heli) and Mick Fletcher's (plank) flying and the jet turbine Eagle F15 plane - awesome!!!

Many thanks to the Blackburn & District Model Aircraft Club, Simon from TrexMAD for the brews and buddying up on the plank, Mick Fletcher for the plank tuition, Timmy Mallett for encouraging the inerted hovering, and Country & Western for ........ I'll think of something in a minute!!!!!!!!

Whos got some pics, I brought the camera but left the memory card in the comp at home !

The two electric big Sukhoi's from Overlander were a bit special

Well Tin Tin.

Lets start with getting lunch organised, making brews some good contolled flights and for trying the inverted Hover first for 6 secs forcing you to do it with a lot of encouragment from Timmy Mallet!!!!

Great flyin two great days and Mick finally getting round to his heli A. Simon at Trex Mad for providing the hot water and spares, what more could you ask for and well the Xtreme 50 two incident free days and it flew like a dream.

I think it was Mrs. Country & Western that sorted out the lunch - was it not? As for making brews - well you know where your place is - in the kitchen!!!!

Must say though, your flying really came on this weekend. Wait till you get your 700 up in the air - then you'll get some b*****s!!!
