Sandown
 

Only some jets, but who is gunna be there?
I will be there on sat with the Thorpe Bros.
Would be nice to see some of you.

(btw, i will be in a RC-Expertise T-Shirt! )

RE: Sandown
 

Will look out for you Volkan, hope the guys get the right level of interest at the show,

I gather Ali is flying the Boomer Intro, and there will be at least one turbine heli that is Wren powered, so at least something for us jet types!

Would be interested in any one who manufactures good quality servo boxes to sinking into foam wings.......

Clues anyone??

RE: Sandown
 

Will be wandering around in my Comp-ARF shirt :)

RE: Sandown
 

Doubt that you will be eating ice-cream - weather forecast is rain and strong wind - not much flying either[sm=bananahead.gif]!

RE: Sandown
 

If that's a British weather forecast that makes it evens on the weather then!

RE: Sandown
 

... Latest BBC weather for Sandown racecourse on Sat is..[sm=sunsmiley.gif]...13 C..but ..:)25mph winds from the south west....thats across the final furlong :)...

RE: Sandown
 

And as your clearly in the know of such, what is it on Sunday?:D

Just realised, that is when I am going!!![&:]

Gazzer

RE: Sandown
 

So that would be about 8C [&:]with the wind chill! The flying will be interesting !

RE: Sandown
 

Based on their accuracy you could take the more likely outcome of it therefore being blue skies, 3mph wind and 80 degrees!! ;)

RE: Sandown
 

..sorry for delay...just been on the phone;)....Sundays weather now set to Thunder, lightning, Hailstorms hurricane force winds and a plague of Locust...:)

I'll meet you in the beer tent at 11:30....bring lots of money.:).. and we will discuss...( from the B-52 thread..)

And:D

RE: Sandown

RE: Sandown
 

Yep[:-]...Your link gives todays 12:00 forecast ( .. update @ 18:00hrs ? )...my earlier one was the 06:00 hrs one....Gazers Sunday at Sandown is now looking better than the Sat ....drat..:)

RE: Sandown
 

i think we should just stay inside and start spending :) :)

RE: Sandown
 

i wanted to come also and bring my scale turbo raven
i asked ali from Als hobby,s if he would fly it
however he said to me that sandown is not a good place to fly the raven
since they paved it with carpet or something
and the raven is pretty high on its wheels and could easy flip over

is any of you coming to Jets over pampa? belgium this year
would be nice to see some of you

RE: Sandown
 

Sandor... shame you cant come but yes they lay "carpet" ( Red Axminster:D for the jet guys, Coconut matting for non-jet flyers ;)) down the length of the start/finish straight ...trouble is if the wind is in the wrong direction the runway is very,very wide but quite short:)

RE: Sandown
 

anybody got a Show Guide?
I cant seem to download it.
[email protected] <-- please send

edit: haha sunday looks just as bad as sat!

RE: Sandown
 

Hi Sandor,
Ali is right, its not the place for a model you really care about. We fly on the race track, which is rough (they let horses run around on it!) [&o]. There are fences and railings, a plywood runway and lots of no fly zones.
With the wind direction and strength It will be quite awful to fly this weekend. Jets have been flown sucessfully , notably Ali's flight with his Eurosport last year which had my heart in my mouth.
If I come back with the same number of models as I take I will call it a success; and I am only flying foamies.
If any of you see me in the Multiplex jacket please say hello.
Sandor, I will see you at Heltcheren.
Regards,

John.

RE: Sandown
 

Yes and he had to have somebody restrain it to build maximum rpm before takeoff and did a wheels up belly landing on the grass. Sandown is not flyer friendly!!

RE: Sandown
 

Gazzer....Sundays weather now Tropical storm ...;)... :D

I'm still stuck at work and could be all w/end.... miracles notwithstanding :eek:

RE: Sandown
 

If Sandown's on its going to be crap weather it always is!
Freezing cold and blowing agale.

Don't know why its got so much hype the prices are increased to pay the massive stall bills anyway!
