Default RE: Here she is!!!

Ok Guys, if the weather holds, it's on for tomorrow morning.
We will do the flying tests at Deelen in the Netherlands which is a defunct Dutch Airforce base with a tarmac landing strip of several kilometres length. Deelen Air Force Base was actually built by the Germans in WW2, so the place is somewhat appropriate, as it still has the historic buildings and infrastructure. The Air Force still owns it, but doesn't do any flying from there any more, it is used for administrative porposes only - so they let the PPL guys use one end of the field and us modellers use the other end.
We have all the systems installed and tested, it needs to pass an inspection by an Dutch Aviation authorative which Frank is taking care of this evening, so everything should be fine, tested and approved. Maybe more reports tomorrow...
Thanks rrudytoo and everyone else for your kind words.
