Stainburn Heli Club Test Day.

[Tim Procter]

Enjoying the practice that much I forgot about the fuel the 45 degree decent ended up being my first auto and she survived with no damage

Nice one Shaun. The learning curve acheaving the "B" is second to none IMO.

A great help.

Well done on the auto.

[Paulice]

Well done guys. And the ones that didn't make it this time good luck for the next, Keep on flying.

Late Response

Just to add my thanks the Richard and Ian for coming over to do the tests (and Tim for organising it). I can certainly say it was a full day I was knackered at the end of it. Thanks again Richard, Ian for your time and advice it won't be long before I'm back for another go...

Mark was good to meet you too.

[Jackflap]

I know i told you this at the field before, but well done guys.
jeff and shaun , a bit more practice and i think you'll nail it guys
i'm sure we can have a trip back up to you ,or you can come down to us
big thanks to tim and the lads for a great day and mrs ponteflyer for the infamous flapjacks
cheers

One thing about the flap jack my missus wasn't happy with us lot! why? I had the cheek to take some home This has never been done before... She wanted to know what was wrong with it...

Nothing Shaun and tell her I don't mind putting a stone on in weight everytime we fly.

Flapjack is legendary now..

I do have my figure to think about you know

It was nice to turn up at a club to do some testing where the candidates have actually put in some effort / practice and not simply think that they are more than good enough to pass!

Looking forward to my next visit and hope to be signing a few more certificates!

You got your BMFA membership through yet Grant.??

Can help you get the same if you like.

That really would be great if i could do that Tim.I got my BMFA sorted last Friday and the lady on the phone said the paper work should get to me in about a week to two weeks,but she said I'm insured right away
Cheers Grant.

[TimmyB]

Timmy B if you are reading this then a little effort goes a long way mate.

Hardcore 3D pilots do need to practice like the rest of us.

A little effort and £225 worth of fuel. Cant afford it and Still have no intentions of doing it.

Well done all the same though matey.

well done all of you.

Your choice Timmy.

Well done all the same though matey.

Thankyou.

[LipolyGone]

grats on the passes guys.
And to those that failed this time, at least you gave it a shot.
I'm a very nervous pilot and know how hard it is to fly in front of others, let alone be tested as well.
It took guts to do what you all did and to then have to take it on the chin is no mean feat.
Heres to the next time, the time your deffo gonna pass.

[TimmyB]

Your choice Timmy.

Yep, wouldnt want to waste any time or money on it. I've got bigger tricks to try.

I think I should have got a B off Mr Lodge anyways on the strength of my reverse chaos.

[Mike W]

Congrats on the passes and to those that failed .. ya will do it next time .. People seem to think its a test .. its not .. its something to aim for in the hobby as its called an achievment scheme and not a testing scheme ... Am practising for my B while I fly my normal sutff as well .. Little practice and a little fun each time and before you know it .. you passed ...

[Sesame]

Sounds like a good plan to me Mike.

Im glad I did mine its enabled me to fly at a couple of demo's which have been really great fun, and seeing the faces of people when they see some of the stuff these models are capable of is really great, talking with them, and seeing the enjoyment some of them get from watching. Really is good.
