My missus always puts her stuff on the desktop, then asks me to sort it out when it gets too cluttered!:(

That's gonna work Stephen, see if you can find some of the re-useable ones, and another thing, perhaps put a piece of balsa or lite ply on the other side to stop the holes wearing in the foam.

That camera looks secure enough - talk about belt and braces!

A cam looking across the top of the wing gives an interesting view and it shows how much it flexes in flight!

I can see those leading edges have done a lot of work! I know that at sea level the air is dense, but that's ridiculous!:)

We get a lot of debris flying about Tony,hedges trees that sought of thing.I took the Fun Cub to the field and tried the 808 camera out. For the money I cannot complain.It was a bit windy and no one else had ventured out.The light wasnt the best by the time I was able to get there to fly and it started to rain so I soon packed up and came home.I was happy I was able to do what I had wanted.Here is the bumpy result,at one stage the fun cub was blown upside down but now I feel I have the C of G right because the landing was good.

That must be an invisible link, Steve!
if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Yeh, Stephen, those trees and bushes, they wander out onto the runway, don't even bother to look!

I must be the luckest bloke on this forum , I now have the choice of 2 flying sites, and neither of them have any obstruction of any sort for as far as you can see a model. Pure heaven
