Mine has arrived safely but I have things to do around the house before I dare open it or Mrs Nev won't be happy. Nev.

How dishonourable, signed regardless. Nev.

Dave, Surely you mean waiting for Flashing Amber

Pelican Crossings. You press the button and wait, and wait, and wait some more, by which time the vehicles preventing you from crossing have long gone and you can now cross the road unhindered. Then, when your half way across the road the blessed lights change and now stops vehicles unnecessarily Rant over.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Nev.

I'll be there also. Looking forward to the show and having a catch up with likeminded friends. Nev.

Hi Greg, As Simon said earlier in the thread, one to consider is the Ripmax Xcalibur. For a good insight have a look here if you haven't already. Nev. Edited By Racing Snake on 14/10/2014 19:08:01

Posted by simon burch on 11/10/2014 13:29:38: Was hoping to fly tomorrow, but I'm unwell and exhausted and I don't want to rush setting it up and then miss something important.   Picture doesn't do it justice. Fitted with a P100RX. Just need to put up a shelf to keep her out of the way till next season.   Simon Hi Simon, I hope you feel better soon and can get that shelf up.   Now, you keep her tucked up untill 2015, I'm looking forward to seeing her at Greenacres already Nev.

Hi Simon, I use sticky back Velcro, makes the receiver easy to remove should you wish too. Nev.

Just got back home after a great afternoon. The weather was a little windy and although I chose not to fly there were plenty of skilled pilots that did. A big thanks must go to all at Greenacres for all their hard work, from what I saw the patch looked beautifully manicured. See you all again next year. Nev.

Hi Terry, It was good to meet you and put a face to the name on Saturday. I look forward to hearing more about your flights with the Grob Tutor and I promise to maiden mine soon I'm never bored looking at Greenacre photo's, please feel free to keep them coming. Nev.

I was only able to make Saturday Andy, I kept an eye out for you but guessed you'd be there Sunday. See you soon, Nev. Edited By Racing Snake on 24/06/2014 12:54:55

I would like to join everyone else in saying a big thankyou to all at Greenacres MAC and RCM&E for a brill weekend, for me it was the best year yet. With a perfectly prepared flying site, so many well turned out models, great flying and wonderful weather, what more could you ask for. I am pleased to have meet up with forumites new and old, however, there are still loads of you I have yet to meet so hopefully see you all again next year. Nev.

Hi BEB, I'm sort of in the front row in the blue T-shirt and brown shorts. Nev.

What time does the flying have to finish? Nev.

I'll be there just as soon as I can on Saturday morning, I'll be in my silver MK1 Focus (modern day classic ). I have never flown at greenacres before even though I have been there the last two years. I intend to put that right this year so if your flying for the first time you won't be on your own. Nev.

Hi Terry, Congratulations on your maiden flight Will we be seeing you and the Grob at Greenacres? Nev.

Hi Guys and thanks, I have been a little busy recently, so have had little time to spend on my Grob Tutor. It is almost ready for its maiden flight, just a few adjustments to control throws and she'll be good to go, or so I thought. I then read your posts and find there's issues with the undercarriage. This should come as no real surprise, I have had all sorts of problems just getting mine to fit as one of the captive screws was totally out of place. I will now spend some time seeing what I can do to beef it up and improve its reliability. Terry, Like yourself I have fitted a full set of wing nav lights, it all helps the winter nights fly by I hope you have better luck with your cowl than I had, to get it to look anything like straight, I had to ignore the trim lines and redo them once the cowl was fitted. With that said, she does look the business so I'm happy. Thanks again and happy landings Nev.

I really thought mud was going to stop me flying this week but I made my first visit to the field on Wednesday afternoon and found that things had dried out nicely..So, with perfect conditions I had half a dozen flights with my Acro Wot foam-e and one with my Phoenix 2000. Unfortunately my Renegade turned out to have fault and was grounded for the day. Nev.

That's really very nice, your hard work has paid dividends. Nev.

Has the update been removed? I have just checked for updates and non are available. Nev.

I'm looking forward to reading Bob Petrie's colume on the Wren 80 and JSM Xcalibur, it's something I've been considering for the future. Nev.

Great session, off to the pub for a few beers now, Thanks Kev.

Yes, why not, at least we will stay warm and dry
