SWAMP THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I felt like mud mud then more mud!
Still, it works.
Engine running Very fast forgot tach batteries DOH (hello Maplins)

Very windy so just a quick blast, shame Cameraman Glen didn't vid second flight cos it was three times longer and we landed power on.
Disregard his attempt at 'humor' Laughing

with the trimming comment, must remember to trim his camera it
was a bit tail heavy today...... lol!

Engine pulling very well, still a bit to go I think it's still got 4 gaskets it......

Plane a bit more 'substantial' than I'd like, 300grams now with tail wheel, trim and 220 mah battery instead
of the 120 as originally planned.

Blinking throttle servo called time on this trip to field.
Only on or off.
So no prop hanging today....
Probably colder (are you taking note Warren?) than last
Week, check out the dragon breath.
All the stuff for the on board glow has now arrived so
Hopefully next week will be a proper 3/4 min flight.
The flight before this was a ROG 3 min flight incidentally
But camera not on DOH.

Your camera man is pretty good keeping that in frame the entire time.

Pretty sweet overall.

Cameraman Glen makes it much easier to keep him mid frame by flying his over the next county.
lol!

Now that is what I would call an aeroplane and flying!

Come clean though - Is that a Cox engine?

And that head garment! Cold

I was so cold yesterday Ian I didn't even take the Micky out
Of it. Bless him, I think Glen likes the old 'Want to get ahead?
Get a hat' adage... Very Happy

We both have Futaba. He has an 8/14fg and I've got a
10cg.
