What you got lined up, its a fly-in I know but any trade stands?

Shahid

we've got our local battery guy and Stan Yeo from Phoenix Models, i think our other local guy is at the Farnbrough show.
we're a local show and as such dont have large trade stands, we make up for that with just a fun show and relaxed atmosphere... and come on, we're holiday central! even Radio 1 were down our way today.

batteries is good! mebbe I might actually be able to have a nice look rather than being squashed into a pulp

I just need a good model now, prophanging tutor 40s dont count []

there you go philly - thats foofy now

what a day, hot humid, furious funfighter slots, 12 up at once????!!!!!!!!! i lost my FW-190 in the first slot after that mysterious aileron problem from Sandown came back, this time they didn't come back and after a few circuits in the distance with just throttle and elevator to loose height slowly it kicked over a few more degrees just feet from the gorund. maybe not a total loss but a heck of a rebuild.
all the pics will be up soon, my cams still at the field and i've come back to dump whats left of the FW-190 and also my Diamond Dust back home, but at least the Outlaw has nicked the 190's engine and will be back out tonight.

heres some pics..
first a generated image of our field.. I've outlined it in blue and added the patch

things getting set up Saturday morning

Gordon and Mike, set up and ready

and the first fatality, first slot my FW-190 gets the aileron problem again from Sandown and this time never regains them, i was lucky to land it as i did.

Mark teaches the kids a song to make the toffee bomber drop it's load

chaff away

scarper

Geoff's correx "mountie"

how not to launch a Magnum

1 use UC
2 use a engine really not up to the job

Cartman got it flying and the landing ripped the UC out, all ends well then

how to do it propperly, Magnum chase.

more Magnum chase and low flying

My Dust locks out over the fence, check out the harvesting the prop did on the way in, helped to find the engine and pipe further down.

on to evening flying now, Adams heli at the hands of Choppy goes in after the tail rotor pushrod snaps. you know it's a bad crash if Choppy ducks

Cartmans Cougar ready for night flight

Choppy with a much better glow stick set up

the flash lights up laser reflectors

now for heli flying...

night blades and glow sticks, sure stands out well in the air, wonder if any UFO's got reported

too much beer here

Lucifer's done flying

Sunday morning, bright sun and sore heads don't mix

but time for the Funfighter slot, 12 up and we're all out for a good time.. it can't end well..
