threshold, i would not go further back on cg.

5lb 4 oz sounds heavy - 5lbs should be easily doable.

Well I think the tags might be an idea. Though I'll be easy to spot, asian bloke with glasses and baige jacket. 5 foot 10. Don't be afraid to come up to me, I had my fangs removed. Maybe we could meet up somewhere right at the start of the show.

Yep for W&W I know someone who will be able to make fresh Indian and spicy food like kebabs and stuff with a little grill. I'll see if he can come down to W&W, will certainly go well with the crowds, Capiche 'n' Kebabs.

If you want to taunt the biggest collection of anti-prophangers you will ever see, Esher and District MFC is meeting in the Bar before the pilots briefing if its the same time as last year

We'll get funny looks if we go round asking young asian men if they are called ZepPilot .

I have a feelling that we will probably bump into each other around the Island Hobbies stand gawping at the C90 and C140. [8D]

I've made my list. I'm there Sunday only, hmm, well I'll be easy to spot but if anyone wants to join me for a walk around the stalls and such. I'll meet you at say, the Capiche stand at 10:00, it will be packed but hopefully not for the 50, 'cause I need a 50! I'll be easy to spot.

we always go Saturday to get the pick of the bunch, at least thats what my mates tell me. I think I'd better wear a tag too, Edible just put E ENGINE on your tag, mind you that may make people think you like electric power

I don't think I'l have money for Capiche cos I got mugged today dammit!!! What really pisses me off is that someone was walking past, I asked for help and he said "no", what a dickhead, that got me in a worse situation.

Btw on the C50 hows the knife edge? Any elevator needed?

Sorry to hear that. Time to take up some Kung Fu to suprise em nex time.


Its very good in knife edge and is very good at high alpha. Needs a tiny bit of aileron and elevator, but this depends on what youve got setup. just to give you an idea, It is possible to take your hand away from the right stick and not crash during a KE pass, (not high alpha i might add)

Yep I would think that high alpha would need a little correctiom for any plane. I'll start at 125 mm then move back to 133mm.

Thing is, the string and fuz method is fine as its accurate, but, to make adjustments you have to take the whole wing off, shift around a bit, and screw back on. Or am I mistaken somewhere?

(3rd time I have been appraoched for mugging, this time I wasn't so lucky. The great british reserve is obviosuly not great, its a load of crap, I read in the paper how one woman was mugged and beaten as people just stood and stared, people even came out of their houses to watch but not to help. Hope things are a little different outside of this *****ty city)

Well, he asked for (yes asked) for £1 for a bus ticket (drugs more probably), I said I didnt have any and he said he would search me and check. So I gave him £1 anyway other wise I'd lose £12 and my phone.

Thing is I rarely carry that much just that as you know Im home alone and my dad gave me some cash to keep me going for the 5 days I'd be alone so I took some to treat myself at my fav resturant, I got away un hurt but its stupid how someone could have helped but didnt.

I met some 2 police officers after and told them what had happened but they just walked around the block, they didn't even look.

so they stole £12 and your phone? i cant see how that stops you getting your capiche.

police are useless, they spend too much time playing with themselves when they should be locking up the filth

No, he only took £1, I managed to keep the £12 and phone secret somehow. Yes the police have always let me down. They are either giving parking tickets and congestion charge fines, or busy doing paperwork.

One guy at my field works as a paperwork person thingy for the London Transport police. For stopping someone, not even arresting them, paper work goes 5 mm to 10 mm thick.

Ok enough of that now, though I really want to have a proper shout at Livingstone.

It would be interesting to see how the C50 KE loops, I've never seen one of those at my patch, mainly sport flying with a little 3D but nothing like Waterfalls or Lomcevaks.

Every penny counts! £1 could pay for a switch!
