Stupid hobby....................

Well my big DS questions for 2010 are:

Will the UK record break 300?
Will I break 250? Or will I just break stuff?
Will I break 200 with a D40?

Coooooor can't wait to get on with it!!

So, I am right in thinking that they are affordable and Spencer will replace it when you spank it in then Andy?

Whats affordable then mate???

George

you said affordable george ..................i just said not as expensive as first thought ...........but its not cheap ...effectively  you get 10% discount  if you total one

I take it Steve did buy one in the end then?

Dont know if Steve has or hasnt J .........I would imagine he will

YO!

At long last, a flying session!
AND, in the form of a cracking DS session  

Damn good NNW meant nearly getting blown off the top of Mam Tor on the trek over to the MS-CG ridge, but very worthwhile.
Reckon the top dogs could have bust the UK record today, the drive was so strong.

The Halfpipe couldn't really take it, its TEs fluttering after any couple of properly pulled circuits, so just had to open out into silly-sized laps to slow things down before indulging again. No idea how quick, except I was stopped eventually (at the end of the day, thankfully), by a low-frequency explosion, when the (undamaged) covering ripped off the port wing! Landed out OK. Phew.

SO NICE TO BE BACK IN THE GROOVE

Glad you had a good day G. and hopefully more to come.

Hi graham hope you are well,just discussing with mark s about where to go on sunday anybody out?

Hi Mark:

Haven't checked forecast since last night, but isn't Skirrid on for Sunday?
Not record busting, merely cobweb removing.
And won't there be maidens aplenty?
Could be a queue......

Think it's more lawley than skirrid. Might go up there with the 80. Take a walk rite to the top, trees are becoming a major issue at the lower part. Any one joining me? Skirrid and Sun don't mix this time of year!

Sunday is forecast to be overcast so no burn.

Hi fellas, just managed to log on for a few minutes. Good to see a D80 has flown - nice work Adam. Will check out the video sometime. Hope you guys get some more flying in soon. btw it's 24deg and sunny here in Auckland sorry, couldn't help it.

Cheers!

Hey, Kiwi Steve aka Hot Air: Sorry to learn you're suffering from heat stroke. We're pretty chilled-out over here.

Anyhow, Zim took time out today to make a delivery rendezvous with our MCTs 
Great service from Sloperacer
And, I think, rather more to come. Very positive & most welcome.

Your MCT looks pale, & in need of a bit of sun

Mine's rather warmer hued........ Though my eyesight isn't what it was, so might have to add some dayglow once it gets over 300

XC showing gusts in excess of 40 mph, so guess it's rather stronger atop Skirrid.
Jungle telegraph indicates some interesting news due from the WAGZ crew.

If not there, DSing by proxy is as good as it gets!
Eagerly anticipating the news......

notice how there is no wind forecast for tomorrow......... 

Looks like i'll be flying my blaster2 then

Some news second hand !d80,s a gogo,adam 211mph ,zim has also broke the 200mph mark!very well done to the lads,i am sure they,ll put the record straight later,not sure who else was there bravo."southall,hobday get your planes charged,they,re coming after us"lol
