Stuart's Stinger tow plane. Ready just in time. I hear that Something Happened to Adrian's Ultra Stick


Ken built a second scale Slingsby Sky.


It flew very well considering that the pilot only had one hand.





Here's a short clip of it's maiden flight. the wind was quite strong and across the runway. Skillful flying by both pilots.
The landing is actually from the second flight. On the first he came in true Airshow style -- fast, low and steeply banked between the water tanks and the clubhouse roof. We asked him to do it again but he thought once was enough.

Howard's new Prolution.

Stuart has installed a new Zenoah 80cc petrol engine in his Stinger. Very impressive, an engine that commands respect. I think Charlie would like to highjack it for his Harvard.




Here's a video clip of the first run. It was very breezy so there's a bit of wind noise.

Two stalwarts and an Ultra Stick.




Here's Charlie with this helicopter.




I make no apology for including another clip of Ken's marvellous scale Slingsby Sky.
