Did YOU fly today??

[Dan22]

Did you mean piro tic tocs. Never seen piro flipping ones. Would be mega impressed to see them though. Anyhow that's shyte. Reminds me of Pete's (discoferret) goblin smash.....into concrete.

They might be piro flipping rainbows but a lot shorter I’ll see if I can post a video from my sim.
it would be good to find out what they are really called, apart from rubbish!

Yeah I remember Pete's Goblin going in, think he put a post up on here about it.
we don’t seem to hear from any of the Southampton boys these days...Jimmyhorns, Porscheboy Paul etc I wonder if they are
still in the hobby?

Ok, so here is two short clips from the sim of the move i have been practicing at the field, if anyone can tell me what they are called?

I travel a little more with them when i'm a the field.

I'd call them full-piro tictocs. Pretty tricky going nose-up to nose-up. Most do them as half piros where it only uses half the cyclic and they go nose-up to nose-down on each stop. Stretched out they'd be piro rainbows. Nice work

Yea piro tic tocs. Yours are nicely controlled. Mine are/were at a little faster piro rate but the disc would usually face me. I'd use a small stir with added jabs of for/aft at the nose up nose down. I'd get them for a few tics then they'd get messy. I don't ever see any of them flying at the club field. Maybe they've moved to a new site?

It was sunny, of course, at MK today but there was a hell of a wind. A couple of the expert lads flew around gaily doing their tic tocking etc. I braved one flight with the TDR. It was quite exciting. That was enough.

No, but driving past shhc field I noticed their table had gone. Looks like the club is no more?. Unless they found another site?

[p4ddy]

Yep I certainly did fly today

[Mike Sanders]

It was sunny, as usual, at MK today but frustratingly, the wind was blowing mightily. I took a heli to the club but didn't fly it (for the third week running). For me it just isn't worth the risk of crashing an expensive helicopter just to be able to struggle around in a gale.

We had the club's AGM. It was resolved, amongst other things, that the club will welcome visitors. They may fly on proof of BMFA membership, CAA operators' identity and certificate of competence to fly. The first visit will be free, thereafter the club will charge visitors £10 per day.

The club is also open to new members. At present we do not charge a joining fee, only the annual subscription. All are welcome.

No flying but I did managed to film a turtle, a few reef sharks and the holy grail for me...an octopus 🐙.

MK needs a webcam fitted. I'm a bit sceptical about all these 'sunny days'

[Grumpy]

I did some social distancing at the flying field today, I was the only one there

[trillian]

I finally managed to get in the first flight since the winter. It has been 6 months, so that first flight coming back is always a bit nerve-wracking. I was also testing a couple Spirit settings, and I am quite pleased.

[Grumpy]

I got out today too, i have a nice quiet bit of waste-land not far from home that I can get some flights in at without being near another human being! I dusted off my old Goblin speed to fly alongside my new TDR2.

That 500 suddenly looks tiny sandwiched between goblin and TDR pics. That TDR looks like it has a spike driven through it into the floor lol
