  1. Yes please Jeff,Mick and I can fly in formation.Ive a couple of little 4 strokes thatll be ideal. Today was fantastic Lovely sunshine ,very little wind and excellant flying6 of us were there and Peter just dropped in.Photos later. Ive come a long way since my knee ops.Felt good and didnt need to sit much.Helped Mike quite a lot ,he is a slow learner,but the repairs shouldnt take to long,he is used to doing repairs.After spending from before 10 until after 3 flying I walked round the big car park field before heading home to cook Sunday dinner.
  2. No its what they use to order lunch when they land
  3. Hopefully with the weather looking promising I might get some flying in,need it as well.Went to the field today for a look and went for a walk and was caught in a freezing windy driving rain storm,exhilerating
  4. Thanks Steve.My latest Harmo Rocket has an SC52 2 stroke side mounted as per the instructions.I have fitted bigger wheels.Although mine id new its not the latest release with removeable canopy as I love the earlier set up.The under carriage is far to bendy.On my first one I had under carriage I acquired fron eho knows where.I fitted it because it was red and looked great.I can only find one of the pair.Good luck with your HR still love them.
  5. Mike Pemberton retires in November ,so he,ll be able to fly with me more,that,ll please him.
  6. Ready for the field sporting its new windsceen and spinner.Also modified exhaust
  7. Did do a little painting round the edge of the screen to finish it off a little neater.
  8. Windscreen and covering complete so both models are ready to fly
  9. Sorry for your problems Ben.Ive never had a problem like yours and agree with you that the shop are doing themselves no good in getting you as a customer.Its a hard job finding customers nowadays and your a valuable assett.I dealt with Galaxy models in Ipswich,never met them all on the telephone and they earnt loads of money from me.Still closed down.As you correctly state,the banks do all the checks on behalf of retailers so there is no reason for retailers to be over zealous. I was in retail and the only thing I did when someone bought a car over the phone was ask for the credit card to be brought along when collecting the car.It was always refused,because it was a scam.,but it was also for a couple of grand car.
  10. Well it was all going well Saturday.Collected the sheet for my windscreen and England thrashed Scotland in the 6 nations.The chicken casserole was magnificent as was the new winscreen.What could go wrong.Well it did,my girlfriend popped round to tell me that family commitments meant she couldnt see me anymore,She poured compliments on me and told me she wanted me to be happy,oh, I was extatic,love her to bits,.Funny way for me to be happy. Anyway itll save me loads on Valentines Day
  11. I think youve done the right thing cancelling the order.Its normal for the card amount to be frozen for 10 days in your account to ensure its there when request is received to withdraw it.I had a lady oncw whip her card out of the machine before transaction completed.It was for £5500 and she had to come back 10 days later when the money was available again and do the transaction again.
  12. Apart from the T180 winscreen which I am still waiting to arrive
  13. Not something usually included and its the way Multiplex mount the servo position for the flaps wrongly
  14. Oh Sarah its so cute youll be able to pop it in your handbag when you go flying Then open your bag produce your little model and say --TAAAA DAAA
  15. In 2013 at the start of the year I struggled because my knees were so bad could hardly walk,In July I had one knee done and in October the other.To get back i started visiting the field and watched and chatted to others.Couldnt fly to start with,couldnt sit for long or stand but could walk up and down.Have started flying this year and started with an easy to fly Precedent T180 so there was just relaxing flying to be had.The field at present is so bumpy tryingg to take off is a nightmare but Im persevering.
  16. Repairs are underway on my Harmon Rocket.I struggled to get it to get going and when it did ran out of strip and it cartwheeled at the end but wasnt to bad.
  17. Ive had the same with a Harvester and when I returned to the car had a parking ticket.I sent a photocopy of my bill at Harvester and the ticket was cancelled. I also had a ticket for exceeding the time of a parking ticket ,But there meter wouldnt accept a card and wouldnt accept all of the money I put in.I sent a copy of the parking ticket I bought and stated that if there machine didnt accept payment it was there problem not vmie,That was also cancelled. Timbo you were a legitimate customer and had a right to park there,write to McDonalds and complain.28 minutes isnt long enought to enjoy a meal at Mcdonalds
  18. Cant wait to see it fly Mike,whats the difference in weight from the other engine.Enjoyed flying with you today even though you crashed my plane
