Need a fix?........so does the weather!

going down on holly

there's a mouldie down here somewhere.....

there she is!

Bopeep last week

Last Thursday's slacking session up on the mighty 'peep....

This lorry single handedly brought the South East

to a standstill by parking across all three lanes of the M20 

Rob and the Eedo

No chance of sneaking up behind Graham today

"This isn't the glider you're looking for"

 Pilot had some alternative literature today

Pete added other cockpit detail including-

pile of clumped together tissues in foot well

1/4 scale bottle of baby oil in glove box

crusty patch on inner thigh of trousers (simply achieved with a few drops of zap-a-gap) 

 the nearest we got to a flying shot

Graham's superb performer 'Gold (Le) Fish'

great shame at greatstone

A sneaky couple of hours in the sea air today. Unfortunately the wind was east of north east

so the prepubescent gnat bite of a slope was barely working at all....

beach landing is best

 'I'll catch it!' 'No, me! let me get it!' 'It's my turn!' etc etc...for some reason it needs to be done in a zombie voice

in the interest of slope soaring and common sense I chose to ignore this

what strange warm bright object in the evening sky beckons forth?

shave those palms....

chilly holly

Jeeeezzz!! was it cold up on Holly's back last week!

most of the light weight regulars only managed a couple of hours before being chilled to the core!

Al looks pensive in pre-launch mode

pit parked models had a tendency to slide down the hill, eager to get airborne

in the smooth, frigid air

Les's hands stuck together, then the raw skin flapped around stripped from his flesh by the arctic gale.
We'll save you the details of Paul's foreskin incident

the sun came out!!

2 minutes later it went back in again

Les shortly before the situation with his paws

off she goes!

nearly a white out

beardy man Graham is well set for the chill, he's also been busy in workshop....

so comfortable is he with his testosterone fuelled, bristle coated sexuality,
he's taken to building pink planes

masculinity intact!

the birth of a beast

Simon's unstoppable in the workshop at the moment, here's his 40% ASG scalie scratch build

impressive is an understatement!

cominatyah!

 white foam / pink foam compression test under vacuum; Simon's first

fuselage plug collapsed under 7psi.....oh how he laughed!

we're not sure if the button nose hooter is 100% scale

the invaluable hot box for ensuring that the resin sets

in the subzero conditions, here's a quick demo.....

epic build thread here

t-shirt weather

back when it was warm.....

new year's day

Sun, sangers and soaring up on Wye Downs provide an ideal start to the year....

 rigging the boys' toys in the lane

the south western face....lots of flooding down on the flat lands

a delightful passer by snaps a few shots of these two saddos out playing with their toy planes-

wingnut to the left, Mr toasty head on the right

Elvis has left the building and hiked up the hill!

from the ridiculous to the sublime and then back to the ridiculous-

Radian with under wing camera mount and Race-M,

then a sloppy dog turd with stick marker alert in immediate foreground

we were rather surprised to find the wind was WNW for most

of the afternoon, but it was still flyable!

wye the first
