Was a great event, and despite the weather most of us enjoyed it!

It was great to meet new people and see old faces!

I'm not happy at all though, After repairing the Fury 55 from my last incident (Tail Electronics Failure) 3 fllights later the new blades delaminate while hovering low inverted

Not an overly great start to the season with all the issues I have.

Sorry to hear that, Callum. Time to sack off those torsions! Get something with a decent track record on there. Was there much damage to the machine? Any pics of how the blade failed?

[mikeKendall]

Callum didn't seem that upset when he binned it. It was is third flight, usually he bins it after 2.

The guys really a good pilot, hats off to him he really pushes the envelope.

[callum]

Cringe at that picture! Lmao!

Yeah, For some reason I wasn't too annoyed, But anyway's I have fired off a report to Torsions, Here's the pic's below

Damage wise, If it wasnt from the blades or the struts, you would not be really able to tell if it was crashed or not, It all relativly stayed the same, Although: New boom, new mainshaft, new boom struts, new belt, new main shaft bearings,

Hell the canopy sustained a small 2" crack. still not the point, Could have been alot worse

Got a phew piccys to add to the thread below.

Had a great weekend at Parkhall with the usual people which is why I love this hobby soo much and great to meet some new faces as well

Hats off and big thanks to Parkhall club and its members for putting on such a well run/attended event , even if we can't control the weather ....

Was some serious egging on going on throughout the Sunday for Tom Burgess until his tail slide went in the grass, Tom did say something about not taking a working heli home tho lol ... That was a great save though mate .. Matt Long and his stripping of 2 gears in 2 flights lol... that mans an animal with heli's lmao

All in all a blast of a weekend and looking forward to the next flyin

Was a good weekend even through the weather, great to meet up with you guys again and chew the fat, nice pics by the way(except the one of me of course). Jack I gotta say wow what an improvment in flying you were already good last year, but just loving the style this year, Matt-L every flight as exciting as ever, well done that man, Tom, nice flying fella, I was torn on that last flight between watching you fly and watching Simoncelli taking out Pedrosa, the tail slide won I also thought Mr Turnbulls flying was on fire as well not sure how but you just keep improving.

Wow the Park Hall Fun fly sure was fun soooooo windy but that was just most of the guy's that wouldn't fly on the saturday ,lol

What a club so friendly and helpfull on such a nice site I could go on but that would get boaring

I got too meet a lot of the countrys best youngsters and wow they sure are good I have no idea how they do it ?? amazing flying especially Matt T ? who carried off the best junior trophy at his first fly in he also passed his "A" in far from ideal conditions , well done little dude

Callum prommised me a fly with his fury 55 and had his first awsome flight in the rain unfortunatly he had a blade let go ? on the 3rd flight wow what a bang that made so no go for me maybe next time?

The best flight for me was Jason Platts with his Rave and V bar set up that must have cut a 12 fool path invirted through the long grass is a howling gale, he is sooooo good.

Rob Turnbull was awsome too with his Avant "old school" flybared model he is just soo good you expect nothing less but he just keeps getting better.

I am not sure if Matt the splat flew but as he said its too windy for an mcpx !!!

For me though I spoke to some one who had Rc Ecclestone on there canopy on a 700 electric what a pilot much more my style of flying low ish head speed but he sat it on its tain 3 feet off the floor and did some sort of invirted funnel so slowly with such grace , very impressive.
I will never be able to fly like that.

Such a wonderfull time I will remember for years.
Thank you Park Hall especially all the girls in the kitchen , fab coffee !!!!
