Both eyes done when I was 53. 75 now. No specs apart from readers and still find everything so bright shades on all the time. Does feel as tho housebricks in eyes so plenty of eyewash.

Winterflying gloves, what do you use?
Colin Carpenter replied to martin collins 1's topic in All Things Model Flying
I use a pair of Thinsulate gloves with the thumb and first finger cut off. I fly pinch so ok. Eventually tho the cold will get the end of your fingers after an hour. Time to go home then ! ๐๐Colin -

I have the Mytho 30 S and despite using the same throws etc as the Angel I do not find it as pleasant to fly ! Same motor , same servos . The Miss Wind is very nice but takes longer to set up at the field so doesnโt get out as much ๐๐Colin
