Wednesday March 26th

 A lovely day for flying today, the wind was light and quite warm. The flying strip is in excellent condition, having been cut twice this year. 

John S had brought along two of his very nice stick and tissue models, one a Trixie and the other |I didn't get the name of.



 He had some good flights as the conditions were ideal, here is one of his launches.

Mike K got his I/C powered wot 4 out for the first time this year, as the walk over to the flying strip has dried out considerably. 

I took along my FMS Olympus, which is the first time I have flown it for a while, had 5 flights with it, and decided I must use it more as it's very nice to fly. My hobbyking Goblin meet an untimely end when I lost concentration for a split second, I had a GPS module on it, and it went from 98mph to 0 in less than a second. Oh, well, makes a bit more room in the hanger for another model.


 

The strip in great condition.

 The strip has had it's first cut of the year and is in excellent condition. It's probably the best all year round flying strip in the southeast. Les has made a really nice table to stand the solar battery charger on 👍👍👍👍. The sun is out, and the winds are light, ideal flying conditions.🛬.
