last light

The last session of 2016....it's late, it's gloomy, but the hill is working....just!

Eric has the tool for the job 

its beady eye is watching your every move

yes it really was this dark and miserable

(slope)police line, do not cross

Paul revs up for a fence line scratch around

he wasn't really going this fast...it's just the super slooooooow shutter speed

brought on by near darkness

He lands, and immediately has to wrestle his confiscated model

from a passing EASA officer (just out of shot) who tries to book Paul for

flying his 'UAV / drone' too high, too heavy, too close, etc etc.

Meanwhile Eric adheres strictly to the rules.

...and so there goes 2016

xmas bash

As per last year, final date and location

to be announced here with as much

notice as possible. 

Les

It's with great sadness that we pass on the unexpected news that Les passed away recently. His enthusiasm was very much in the building side of the hobby, and he loved to pass on his knowledge as well as the fruits of his tinkering. It's good to know that a part of him will continue to live on in his numerous creations still being flown by others.

even in today's midwinter gloom there's

sunshine up there......somewhere
