Brilliant day !!!

[t-rex pedro]

Just got back from a superb day down at Charlton Mackrell. Huge thanks to James, Mark, Ron, Aidi, Adrian, Smith bros, Ashley, Harry and Geek for making today so enjoyable.

Really great to see you all guys. Thanks to Mark for the BBQ (and Mrs Lane!).

All in all a brilliant day with great friends old and new. Lots of banter and more than one embarrassing moment!! LOL!!! Lots of really impressive flying and not forgetting the 450 carnage with chants of 'lower'!!!

Thanks guys. One to remember.

Great day nice to see you all. Thanks for the hot dogs they went down a treat. It's good to see everyone is getting on well and improving. Stu Smith best 450 flight I have ever seen in my life that was off the hook. I Wish we had the camera on that one.

Thanks Pete.
Was an superb day, great company, great flying, Stu Smiths 450pro flight was so low it hardly went above waist height, how the hell it survived that flight i will never know.
Everyone was on the top of there game and the level of flying was very high, and i think evryones last flight was a bin or win one, some survived and some didn't, and yes my outrage 550 survived itjust.
It was great to see everyone and thanks to those who travelled a bit, Pete, Aidi in particular, was like a mini flyin.
And thankyou Mark very much for the BBQ, spot on mate.
Hopefully we can all do this again soon, was one of the best days flying i have had in a long time, 2 great weekends in a row, superb

Same from me great day after the plank flyers went home.
Can't believe Mark did the BBQ top man
Shame about the bolt hitting his blade. would of liked to see mrs lane fly
Hope Ashley got a fly after his dad's mishap with his beam.
I had a lesson on mantainance feel well lucky to get a way with a loose bell crank on tail and a bad clutch in the same flight. Hope to do it again soon.
we can turn it in to a heli club

Cant really say much more than has already been said. Great flying, Great people and thanks to Mark... great food!

I am so glad i left my 450 in the car... god knows what condition it would be in now if i had tried to fly it

Looking forward to the next time guys.

I agree. The boy spanked that thing and it just begged for more. Clipping the grass with an aileron tictoc - awesome! Didnt Mark film it or was that your flight Ade with the unfortunate ending??!!

[Boggy]

ill chip in and thank everyone as well! especially mark for the impromptu bbq!

it was a good day and the guys that flew with the 450's were mental,just going for it with a do or die attitude.Stu went first with an absolutely spectacular flight and the rest just shrugged and had a go some survived just! and some didn't.(amazingly no bad damage)

il post a few pictures of the crowd shortly!

[AdieSmith]

Yeah we got the one of my mess up but i have changed the main gear all is good and its back flying again

[moonmanflyer]

You just have the nack of crashing carefully adie, that heli went thump but got away with hardly any damage, and Paul those inverted figure of 8's were superb mate, really nice flying.

[Aidi]

I still cant believe that with 3 450's hitting the deck, the only real damage being main gears and shafts!

Resiliant little buggers... and well done for missing the cowpats!

[moonmanflyer]

Yeh they are tough, though the beam collor was the cause of loss of drive on ashley's heli again, thats about the 5th one thats failed now, 3 of them in flight, just had to set it down inverted, only damage is a feathering shaft

[t-rex pedro]

Paul those inverted figure of 8's were superb mate, really nice flying.

I agree. Paul showed amazing control and something I need to do more of. Was also impressed with your flying James and Marks last flight on the 450 was by far his best of the day. He really let rip on that thing!

And yours too dude, your 700 flight in particular was so good, can't believe how much people seemed to of just upped there flying to the next level.
But i bet the best part of your day mate was getting a hug from teddymoon

[mark lane]

nice one guys!!!! Proper mini fly in!

Gutted I missed stu's flight with the camera as it was nuts!! Managed to get aidi's on film and it was wicked until the 450 decided to shred the main gear... Glad to hear the damage is minimal.

Loved my pro too today and spanked it to within an inch of it's life just before going home... Really fun and my first ooh's and aaah's from the lads which was a buzz

All in all a perfect day with great company and some fantastic flying by all... Roll on the next time
