    Hi Richard, handily, the default photo preview on my desktop will re-size photos too, so I use that. Does your phone have some photo editing options perhaps?

    Yes, noticed that, the price rose yesterday, just after I bought mine for sub-100. The cowl doesn’t bother me, it won’t get the abuse an I.c. engine would inflict, and I’ve a few spare rolls of film that ought to fly before they delaminate. ?

    Gave the Sinbad its first slope flight yesterday, sans prop. Although our flat field was turbulent on the weekend, it seemed to fly better from the hill. All good.

    Yep, no great surprise I guess, but not the news we wanted to hear.

    Yes indeed DD, it was surprisingly good to use. Mind you, anything else would have bankrupted me ?

    Lockdown 3's big project has finally flown, my 98" span Sinbad. It was a bit turbulent to assess fully, but it flew much like a vintage type ie. needing plenty of rudder. A visit to the slope is next.

    I'll ask the owner Martin ? We hit the coast yesterday to take advantage of the NE wind. Bracing stuff but super smooth lift.

    That's an impressive facility you have there Leccy.

    Good stuff John, she's a fine bird.

    Just back from the patch, and a little pink. Flew the Allusive, Arrows Viper and Mini Bolero. First fly this year for many club mates, some since last autumn. Everyone took their models home in one piece.
