In preparation for Cornwall

Flew all the usual suspects today and gave the Pico-Jet a particular airing to test all four li-po batteries. Everything performed well.

Ian flew his F16 Fighting Falcon Fitted with a smoke system. Boy did we have some fun with that. After landing Ian taxied back to the pits, and as he got close to Geoff, who was working on his plane, switched on the smoke and Geoff completely disappeared in a huge cloud of white vaporised diesel.

Pete brought along this nice example of a Comet. It crashed on its first take-off but there was little to no damage, just a few scratches, and the second attempt was a success. Sounded nice in flight for an electric job.

Next weekend, its a trip to Cornwall to fly in the Annual Two Day Model Airshow hosted by Redruth and District MFG at their site on North Cliffs West of Portreath. This has coincided nicely with the NSA who are having Westonzoyland Airfield for the weekend for their "flying" event. (NSA is the National Sprint Association. They ride motorcycles).
