Totally awesome. Thanks Joe =)

RE: On the lighter side
 

...maybe I should start looking at 2Ms again. No way am I going to win anything with this 1.7 meter competition (pattern) plane, which is red.

........and I'm really looking forward to competing with my composite monoplane http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7504259/ :D

hahahaha I have had that conversation with myself, alone, many times... too bad (or too god?!?!) the irrational part allways wins. very funny...

Brian, you legend! Glider towing the Oirish way eh :) Now, just tink how fast that yoke would have been pulled skywards by a YS 170! :P

Can we do that with my 150cc Extra? We could torque roll it with the glider still attached. Now that would be an interesting movie :)

ps Do you like my new avatar?

Right now I am happy with my new 2m competition airplane. Thank God it's red!

Hi Angus
I would not try that with a YS. I'm not sure if that little prop would even move that glider.
It's a 4M that weighs 6/7 Kg with no wheel under it, just sitting on it's belly. The Pletty had it up to about 2000 feet in 30 seconds or so.
It was a good laugh though.
3 is a crowd !!
