vortex

 More action from 2013 with Mr Smack maidening his Vortex.

 Some footage from the archives of Phil flying his Condor from 2013

If memory serves, he blew the tail off it in a speed run later that afternoon!

handy scale

 Always good to see that people are still building their flying implements.

Here's a nice little Slingsby that had its maiden a few weeks back.

RIP Phil

Sad to report that Phil Taylor sadly passed away this week. With his penchant for slightly obscure flying machines (seen here with his Multiplex Conder that later fluttered to destruction that day), low key aeros and aerodynamic debate, he will be missed both on the hillside and within the online community.

lost and found

Not the missing model (luckily!).

keep them peeled!

Glider lost at the weekend.... last seen heading east, at height

from the Sutton Valance flat field site.

Please comment here or contact the Invicta club if spotted!

A good blow at Bopeep gives Simon the chance to get the DG dialled in

 

decided it wasn't going to fly well with one set of wing servos unplugged!

goes like stink!

some cracking little (previously powered) foamies

make for great PSS models

Simon's newly acquired Slingsby Skylark gets a airing!
