Pete
on a flyby with a small electric park flier. |
Of course there's always someone who insists flying a glider when
there's no wind
Phil catching his DLG glider |
Electric glider flying at sunset. Note the Nympsfield wind turbine
in the background.
(the turbine is actually on a hill a couple of miles away)
P.S: Those guys in the background are practising golf, the guy on
the left hasn't just crashed his model into the ground behind him
:-) |
Chris
Boosey's Fun-Jet, EPP and very fast |
Pete
Godsell with a bi-plane |
No
wind for gliding? No problem, just get your electric Yak out instead.
Pete practicing his slow flying
|
Brian with his homebrew Shockie. Take one sheet of 6mm Depron, a knife,
some carbon strip etc.... flies really well.
|
Ade
with his Highlight SAL
|
Pete
practising his side arm launch technique in the HLG comp.

Kyosho
T33 flying after it's second(!) rebuild. It seems to prefer 8 cells
and a good head wind to help with the handlaunch, once flying it goes
very well.

What
a difference a few months make. It's winter thermal time...so it's
raining (horizontally), it's blowing a gale and nobody is brave (stupid)
enough to get their models out of their cars
|
Pete
concentrating on the summer thermal comp 2001 with Dave doing the
timing.
|
Andy
overshooting the landing box in the summer thermal comp. Because of
this Andy didn't win the comp...
|
- Richard with his "Sunrise" ...at sunset!
|
| Brian
attempting to fly his "cheap" F16 he bought at Sandown.
Pity he had to spend another couple of hundred pounds on charger,
batteries, servos etc.....We won't mention how well it flew either
:-)

A rare Bee Orchid as seen on Minchinhampton. Due to the lack of livestock
because of the Foot & Mouth crisis, the flowers had a chance to
flourish.
p.s. Don't pick them.....they are really rare.

A
Pyramidal Orchid. Phil's been busy with his camera...
