Cracking news! I'll bet this is just the start. 2010 is going to see the UK catching up towards US speeds.

Well we had a great day guys

  Conditions were not really spot and got more southerly through the day, but we made the most of it, was blowing between 30mph and 45mph all day just a shame it wasnt bang on west

  I managed to up my personal bests with moulded and foam

Got 211mph with my D80 and 183mph with my Tank (54inch foam plank) and 167mph with the D40 just before it died Cry

   The D80 had a lot more in it but i was so shocked at how it picked up speed i had to land for a coffee Tongue  did no more than 10 laps! george was on the gun and it went from 140 to 190 in 1 lap then 200 and 211,  at that point i needed clean pants,

  Some really bad news from the day is that Zim had to leave his Splinter somwhere on the backside embarassed
She is sitting there as i type, servos whining and little blue receiver light slowly fadeing God Give me Strength,

Did you find my X-it while you were looking for the splinter?
I almost decided to have a traditional Australian 'sickie' today, but chose to work instead.
Glad you had fun and congrats on the Pb's cool
Looking forward to videos

Well done on the new PBs, hope you are going back soon Zim and find your splinter.

Is the D40 repairable?

Congrats on the new D80 PBs, more to come! UK

Most impressed with the Tank's speed, with only 54" span - wow!

Bummer losing your Splinter, Zim.  Guess someone will find it before long.

What happened to your D40, Adam?

D40 got hit by some turbulant air on the top turn, and the last i saw of it was heading vertical up towards the sun Shocked

  I didnt see it come out the other side (couldnt really see much at all) so shouts "can any one see my 40" we were all looking for about 10 seconds (zim ran and hid behind a rock) and then i herd a whistleing at the back of us, there she was on her way to the bottom of the back side , so yanked on the elevator and expected her to just fly past and pop over the front side but about 20foot from the ridge that same bit of turbulant air slamed her in the grass, (when will we learn, skirrid and a tiny bit of south is bad news).

  Funny how i thought she was binnage, but after close inspection yesterday it seems it just has a lot of delamination along trailing edge and drag spar, main spar is fine, and not a single mark on the fuse, so will be back in no time.

Glad that some TLC will get your D 40 back in the air soon Adam 
I guess Zims lost Splinter will eventually take root in the ground and grow into a "Mighty oak" Cheesy
