light start, heavy finish

 

always a pleasure to see the world's most flown mouldie 

rumour has it that endoscopic spar inspection

will be taking place over the winter

watching Eric land

ready to bung the venerable Robbe '27

 

a successful sortie

Keith Fisher's and Painless 360's love child

one flick and she's off!

always a pleasure to see a bit of Art Hobby aeronautics

and it goes lovely!

what a jolly morning!

to be in England in the summer time

Summer 2024 will always be remembered as

such a lovely Thursday!

 

carnage at King's

One still requires a good fix regardless of the weather, but as luck

would have it, the wind is always in the right direction down

at the King's school gym! 

blink too hard and it's destroyed!

luckily it comes in a sturdy, yet handy cigar box!

get your 3Ds ready!

...steady....

GO!

bbbzzzzzzz!

hangin' at Hogwarts

keep your back against the wall...

unless you want an eyebrow trim courtesy of Charlie!

the usual suspects!

one misplaced fart and it'll

disappear into a cloud of balsa dust!

(remaining tissue takes care of the follow-through)

the tongues are out!

a beastly heavyweight by comparison!

until next time!

we got out

It actually stopped raining the other day.... where better to enjoy the dry

nor-wester than on the mighty Long Man!

we set up the pits in the pit

the gentle breeze soon picked up to

a decent 15mph

...which brought the natives out of hiding too!

total amount of footage from the day

 spring is beginning to creep across the land

let's put in a request for good winds!

click here for the soul food!

light weights

February's finally over people... we've nearly made it through to spring time!

But the evenings are still dim and the weather is beyond shite, so where do

some of the regulars go to get their fix during such times.....?

We've made it past the shortest day.... let's remember 6 months ago

with one eye on 6 months in the future!

long grass and good company

Mr F. shows us how it's done!

the sun doesn't get much more northwards than that!

the sub 250g class

and even on the 21st of June, the light must eventually fade

so it's time to illuminate the sky!

whoooosh!

...until next time!

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!
