Eric called earlier with the very sad news that David passed away this morning.
David had a penchant for building the more unusual of sloping implements and
even in midst of failing health, he still had several projects on the go.
In memory of the consummate gentleman that he was, here is a rare moment
of sweariness as he battles with the Hols der Teufel in less than ideal lift...
You will be sorely missed Sir.
RIP David we will all miss you. Your Hol's Der Teufel was a thing of beauty, but man it was difficult/impossible to fly! Your friend, Simon
ReplyDeleteHe'd had a new set of ribs laser cut for it Simon, he was going with one of the HQ sections....I'm sure the full-size aerofoil was the source of its troublesome behaviour!
DeleteSad news indeed, very sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteFuneral today, looks like there'll be a good turn-out from the sloping community.
