Still hunting for FF pics...

There's a story about these two pics.  Allen was trying to strafe me with the EasyGlider, and he missed me by inches, as you can see by these two pics.  There is a video cam on the EasyStar, and that should be interesting footage - the plane zooming towards some loon taking pics instead of running...

Had a great day , cheers guys!  No worries about the lift Steve .  The Fox even scored a kill on a Wildy!  :D
But then they got their own back and the Fox went in, in pieces! lol.  At least I managed to fly it again. :af

Great weather and what a view!

Also unexpectedly came home with a brand new WildThing 46 :af
Well if your in the area...... :D

Trev's Red arrows with master launcher Allen and Trev at the helm, quality might be a bit ropey till Youtube finishes processing the video file but it should eventualy appear in HD.

BUT, you must realise that Si's BBQ Tools were carefully run in, lovingly distressed to that state of buckled  perfection that not even c**p Poundland stuff can manage.....................   :''

They are a fine set of manly intruments, not your Lidl discount jobbies.  Don't worry Si, they're safe in my boot, no doubt we'll see each other at Wrotham or Thurnham soon.

I'd like to post a big Thank You to Steve - Mr Fantastic, for retrieving my errant 'Betty' in true 'fetchermite' style, when she flew off on her own yesterday as a result of a power supply fault.

Thanks again Steve, you're the best!

Odd.........................that video will not play on mine under the latest Flash 10, in fact it won't even appear at all, leaving a grey blank area where it would be embedded.

If I right click on the space I get "Video not loaded" and "Plug-In crashed" messages.  All other embedded videos here I have quickly been able to check work OK.


EDIT

Even Odder...........tried coming right out and back, still didn't work....others did.......several times, no good.

Then tried again......and it all worked.................  :banghead:
