The man who runs phoenix model aviation is Peter Milner, Raptorite on here Rachel.
His generosity knows no bounds I guess as does his mums & his dads.

Pete came to the rescue with jump leads & his van, after having left the doors on my Transit open all day & the interior lights on run the battery flat...
Big thank you to him and his lovely parents..

We were talking about the flying on the way home and all thought that Peter Foulkes flew very precise, tidy and flowing sets & free flight.

What a day! Thanks to all!

Well it was a very early start yesterday, packed the car at 5.30am and began the 120 mile trip full of excitement a small amount of nerves. Stopped for a cheeky fried breakfast and cracked on again, this time with more excitement than ever! Arrived and once we had everything sorted, unpacked, setup and demo slots allocated, we were all set for the day which flowed with the rounds going and Chris and the other demo pilots putting on a fantastic show with their demos.

I really wanted to take a moment to personally thank James for sorting everything before the event and the event itself. It was well organised, flowed lovely and he instilled a fantastic atmosphere backed up by the crew. Boggy for helping out with the event, assembling, calming nerves and generally keeping all us lot in order! All the gang at SWRHC and Phoenix. Ohh and I really thing Dan deserves a big mention to for standing out on the fence line allllllll day!!!

I also want to express how proud we are of Chris from our Flight Team, Not only was this his first demonstration in front of a crowd but also with the 700 nitro at a event. He has some of the best skills I have ever seen, some of the most precise and fantastically exciting flying I have ever had the privilege to watch and be part of. I am always impressed with his attitude. I cannot thank him enough for being part of our team. He put on the most fantastic show for everyone yesterday and it was an honour to be stood beside him on the line, I can only describe the feeling as being the proudest person in the world.

I also want to thank everyone I met and chatted to, past customers & future customers alike! Had some great banter, chats and insight. It was great to finally put some faces to names! Its safe to say we had one of the best days out and now cannot wait for the summer events and Charmouth coming up!

This is just the start for us, and RC Hero will be attending as much as we can this year and hopefully engaging with more and more people!

There is also a thank you for Nick B who has not only supported Chris in the past but has continued to do so now and has also support us! You sir are a legend and the banter yesterday was great!

Thank you to everyone! We are sorry we could not attend the fly'in today as well but unfortunately I have my dissertation and a lorry load on uni work to catch up on. But we hope everyone had a great day and we will see you all at the next show!
Untitled-1.jpg I have a lot of video and photos to process now which I hope we will do this towards the end of the week or earlier, so keep your eyes peeled for some video and videos coming soon!

I can officially tell you all also that as of 10am this morning my feet had thawed out!

Loved the day, after the panic of changing out Rachels engine then nearly being sick before my sets I was shaking like leaf, not the best position to be in when your trying to fly straight.

Still a nice smooth chilled out free flite had me on cloud nine. Loved every second of it and if work allows I will be down at MK and 100% at AIR (even if I have to quite my job).

Many thanks to all Who organised it. A mid winter social or two is great fun.

Been there again today for the funfly, was a great day, had lots of fun, and quite a few people there again, really gave my 700N a thrashing since i havent flown all weekend, and also help Rob Bingham sort his engine tunning on his N5C and another gentleman with his beastx set-up, some great flying going on.
My son Harry had the save of the weekend when his link failed on his 550, causing the elevator ball to rip out of the swashplate and he still somehow managed to land it on the patch, was off the patch and inverted when it failed.
But bar that a great Day, thanks again phoenix and to all who attended again

I only got home about 3 hours ago, it was a REALLY good weekend, although it was soo cold it was a great turn out of people ! Lots of great prizes to win, and lots of great people to be around ! The funfly today was really good and again I was surprized to see such a good turn out considering the freezing temps

James you are a natural on the mic and you need to do it more often :P

So, big thanks from me to all the Judges, James and Ron .. and basically .. everyone, for making it a great event


EDIT: Photos and Videos will be uploaded soon, got toooo much to go through
