May... he reign


8th May was a Monday Fly Day courtesy of King Charles


good turnout on the patch




This rare beast is a 'Flying Special'
An early mouldie that boasted modular construction.
That same model (with the aid of various differing parts)
could serve as anything from a slope racer, to a large
F3J style model. Unfortunately, at this stage in moulded
slope model design, it had not yet been discovered that
he with most toys wins.... a formula that instantly
made the one model modular format redundant!









 
fettling another vintage beauty




followed by some modern-day fettling







you can tell by the grin that the fettling paid off
I think we decided that this was a Graupner LS3



a cheeky bit of PSS action




always good to see a Luna being set free...
guess they're now also considered vintage items!







Martin's beauty of a scratch built scalie!



under the bonnet




more vintage harkening with wing tips
reminiscent of an Avicraft Spider Glider.





thanks for a lovely day Chuck,
don't forget to pick up your
snot rag when you're done!
