That looks great in the air. How different!
What was the wind speed Trev and how was the landing!

Cheers Pete. Wind went really calm in the evening, but also flew it it in a fair breeze and seemed to handle it ok. Landings are more of a controlled crash! Lol. Plus its amazing how much you can slow down the flapping and it still flies.

Amazing! Real crowd puller. Best part of the day.

Cheers Simon. Real shame I couldn't fly it at the show, kids would have loved it.

Great! You must have hired a professional video man........If you look in the most recent RCM&E, you will see that one chap has taped the flappy bits on the wings to the body thus increasing lift. Just saying!

Hi Roy. Funnily enough I did just that this morning! Had another couple of successful flights with it today. Yeah cameraman did a great job , I'll give you his details πŸ˜„
