Wednesday night bash.

[Tim Procter]

First time this year we have had our mid week evening bash and it went superb..

Got 4 flights in with the 700 FBL before "Bad light stops play"

Had Carl and gazza round so was quite a busy night.

Roll on the clocks moving forward. I can see plenty of nitro being burnt well before summer.

jammy git

[Supercaptaincrash]

nice one tim! lucky sod! you got any videos or pictures?

[Mike W]

Nice one Tim ... work here is a bit hectic so no flying for me for a few weeks apart from weekends ...

[jamiem]

Once the clocks roll forwards, evening flying will begin for me too Can't wait

[mattie-lodge]

I know the feeling Tim. We had a good blast yesturday down here and got the summer feeling back.

Big smiles for me. Glad you guys had a good time as well

[richieclarkie]

Yeah, it was great and after the worst winter I can remember not a day too soon.

As you say time roll on Summer!

[gazza]

Yep it was a great afternoon! With a kind of summery feel to it and not before time boys

Loved the new 600LE & she flew impeccably (Thanks Tim. Top notch building as ever)

Totally amazed myself as to how out of tune with flying I've become, having not 3D'd a bean in five months.

When I last flew I was performing rainbows, pie dishes, backwards inverted, slappers etc.
Today I didn't have the confidence & it didn't feel right doing anything other than 'Right way up' Circuits & Nose in hovering Brought the heli home in one piece however, so big smiles & easy does it

Roll on Saturday

[Kwickkwack]

Good to get your head round the first flight Gazza, nothing to be gained by taking off and simply spanking it into the ground, I bet it wont be too long before you are back in tune

Cant wait for the longer evenings to get here and hope to have a little fun with my little electrics close to home

Well, I've done all the decorating in the hotel, and the Mrs is going away on Friday for a week. I've just fitted deans to my 4 new Turnigy 2650 batteries, and charged them up, so weather permitting, I'm going to spend a lot of time down the flying field in the next few days.

BTW, Tim, My Mrs is very keen on spending a week in the Harrogate area when we finish this season, so if you'll have me, I might be coming to see you this Autumn.

[Tim Procter]

You have my details Brian.

Just give me a shout when you are over mate.



Just finished giving the 700 FBL a bit of a service tonight.

Starter shaft bearings were rattling somewhat so replaced those with new.

The engine hasn't been out in quite a while so decided a new back bearing wouldn't go a miss, While it was in bits I put a new ring in the engine too,

All ready to rock n roll again.

Thanks, Tim. Will do.
