Saturday 1st of August 2015
Thomas Arrives for his first flight and training with his new plane.
Model : Discovery 1.6 mtr wing span with Hacker A50 electric motor fitted.
After a few set up problems resolved, Thomas & Tony completed first training session.
As winds were quite high and a few more adjustments to be made to model, only one flight was completed.
Thomas full of enthusiasm went straight home to workshop to complete adjustments.
To be continued very soon............
Today at Roundwood 13/5/15
It was a fantastic day for flying.Despite this, we had only few flights.
Andy solved eventually engine adjustment problems, Bevan had crossed wires in one of his planes -
he may have flown it after I left 17.45!
Tony Mc - flew the MPX foamy Twin and did taxi tests with the new, electric powered Spitfire.
Michael enjoyed his usual electric flyer and admired the two new arrivals in his "Stables"!
Des sailed his Yacht, missing Tony Noonan who is not well. Willie flew more flights than all others together
and I, at last, managed to fly and land the 4 m Grob again safely.
Our treasurer Liam just about managed to get out of his sickbed to enjoy the fresh air in RW.
Not to forget Olli, having given us a pristine flying field by cutting the grass regularly, came to maintain the mower.
See you soon?

The large Grob is transported to Roundwood for balance and C of G setup using 2 x Tony's 1 x Bevan and maybe some lead.
Sneak preview of interior of a very large Grob
I received an anonymous tip from Tony G about one of our members secretly building a new plane.
I hope to get more images over the next few weeks.
