October's Flying




Well yes October is flying past and it's been nearly a month since I posted anything. But luckily I'm getting no feedback so there can't be anyone out there who is too worried :-)

The lead pic is of John Searle launching into a maiden of his Siren Hotliner at Papamoa's Gordon Spratt Reserve. The next pic is Ralph's Ellipse going up on the winch at the same spot.




And the Redblack is now complete and has been maidened! With a little reluctance I took her round the front of the Mount last week and managed to dodge all the rocks on landing. So how does it fly? It goes really well - just eats my foamies for performance - fast and holds energy so well. I flew it for nearly 2 hours! And so easy to land with the crow braking. Here's a shot of it with some tidying up of the paint etc. Still pretty tatty but she flies well.



So finally, I've progressed to mouldies!
