[Arceye]

Can't belive i missed Grants crash, since he was egging me on yesterday and my 600 nearly suffered, hope it wasn't to bad mate.
Shame i missed all you other guys today, would of really liked to of met you all.

Sorry dude but I didn't get a pic of that one I wasn't there early enough today.

I only have 4 pics total, ( 3 crashed and 1 good night fly machine being spooled up ),
The last crash of Saturday I didn't have the heart to take a picture as I watched the guy ( sorry I don't remember his name ) build the heli all day then it failed on its first flight after rebuild so I was gutted for him. Will get the pictures I have up by the end of day Monday.

Andy..... great to meat you if you can remember your name you can remember mine , I spent most of this morning actually rebuilding that raptor and took it up today but unfortunately it didn't want to play very nice so it went back in the car. It is now under my bench until it learns to behave itself.

[lex7919]

Awww No!!! It was not Alex with his ElyQ was it?

ermmm yep
Left one of them sick feeling in my stomach for sure, That bloody little pin in the rear TT gear let go, i'll 110% admit i was lagging by that point in the afternoon and didn't react quick enough to it i could of saved it i think but root cause was still another failure.

On a brighter note though was a great weekend with good turn out was good to meet some more of you, today's weather was not so good but still had an awesome time.
Thanks go to Craig, Steff,Trev and all the black country models club members for been so hospitable.
