Momentary lapse in judgement chaps. He's an awesome pilot and files that MB339 better than anyone else I know could. I don't think he'll be doing it again...because I do know that jet is his pride and joy and a lot of effort and money have gone into it.

The event was very well organised by Bill Dennis to a relaxed and very enjoyable format. Comps were over by 2pm leaving the afternoon for trimming and sport flying in the ideal conditions. Mike flew his now 20 year old Martinside Elephant [attachment] ... and this weird beastie took to the...

Really good vid that. From the info and experience at Machrihanish in years past, at the speed of the model on this video the POLE is absolutely essential as the pilot would be taken/pulled off his feet without it.

I don't think Mick uses the web a great deal actually. I post vids of his models on my facebook group and 'tag' him in the posts fairly frequently. He doesn't tend to reply back...BUT when I do see him at a show he'll always thank me and tell me he's watched it. That's all I need. Top bloke in my...

Brilliant D.

Another stunning scratch built RC airplane from my recent visit to Middle Wallop for the BMFA Electric Fly-In. A faithful scale reproduction of an iconic British aircraft. Not only does it look super scale but it also has opening / closing cargo doors and automated deployment of its cargo....

Very impressive D, and we'll filmed, boz.

Thanks for the great photos.

Mrs b left for glastonbury on Tuesday. Pot noodles, fish fingers, the menu for the week. :( :( :( :( Oh and the odd can of cider. :) :) :) :woohoo:

Whats the weather forecast ??????????????

Quote: You could buy a nice car for that - - and it should last longer! :evil: Yeah but this thing probably does 200mph and pulls 10G - upside down! :woohoo: :ohmy: IF your flying skills are up to it. I'd like to try - with someone else's model! :P

I can't go, am off to the austin a35 national rally at Hibaldstow this weekend, but wish you all well and hope you have a sunny flying day, boz :)

But that was how bond was played,never meant to be to serious or to violent.

Quote: Always fancied one of these myself, but the price of the turbo unit stops it, Thanks Dom Yeah, I think £2.3K for one of those engines. That's up there with the price of the most powerful regular turbines!

Very true. They are much quicker at spooling up than when I got my first engine 4 years back. Other variable is where the throttle stick is, when you push it all the way up. From idle it does take what seems a long time but if you're at 1/3 to 1/2 throttle it's fairly quick.

same on motor racing tickets but doesnt stop people claiming

I think it'll take a long time to win over the public but it'll only happen with their use for good as the speaker was sharing. Apologies for the relatively poor audio. I'm investing in a focus mic so it improves for next time I do this type of work.

Plane vs Car race. Think it took Chris the pilot a while to get into his groove...it looked a little dicey at the start. [video]

Yes, saw that update. I wonder how many members will actually USE the site, if/when it is open? I won't - too far away. I'm not driving 200 miles each way to find a queue of 100+ waiting for a 5 minute slot! :evil:

I don't want reminding when its my birthday :angry: I don't do them anymore Had to many of them :(

My Dad served in Kings Liverpool in WW1. Blightyed home with wounds 3 times and sent out again. slightly gassed moving our own shells which were leaking. These lead to probs which could be attributed to other things. Mum nursed him through allsorts. He hardly said anything about it either.I just...

Team Mikado came down the main flight line and put on, only what can be described as a, 'hectic' demo of 3D heli flying. Just don't get how they do this. [video]

Yeah, that is one thing that isn't clear EVEN if you are there and watching closely. The commentator doesn't shout it out despite it being recorded at the start/finish gate. Would improve the excitement if he did. As for where they are going...it's a tight multi-gate course. Next time I'll record...

It could be used for the RC Nats, as apparently Langar was looked at, and found too small I will certainly have a look when its up and running and report back. Garry

The term "airship" probably best describes it. That is very low resistance to slow movement yet with substantial inertia. At slow speed there is little aerodynamic control. Get it wrong "low and slow" and coupled with a low thrust to inertia ratio means it takes time and distance to sort out.

Chuffin Nora, not only can I not spell, now I cant soddin read. Sorry for the confusion between Boz and Box. Thanks Andy :woohoo: :woohoo: I HAVE modded myself lol Garry
