fantastic Andrew, nothing like flying by the seat of your pants :-) have a gooden mate, Clarky

Agree with you David !!! Big Support for the Arising Star, it's just what I have and I am so pleased with it's stability, ability to correct itself and robust body. recommended to any new flyer, I'm still learning with mine and finding out that it will role, fly inverted, loop with ease etc,. it's a really great beginners plane. Hi all, hope everybody is well :-0) LOL

Thanks Danny !! Yep I'm going to go practicing those aerobatics tomorrow, lets hope she comes homes safely !! Have a great week Clarky PS Sorry Phil I dont know any clubs in Herts, check out the BMFA website, they list them all. www.bmfa.org

Big shouts to Anthony, spence, angus, danny, dave P, andrew and everyone else thats joined !!!!

Hi All, my god I am so shocked this thread is still ticking the right boxes. I'm so pleased for you all. Just thought I would let those of you that are interested still after my absence that I passed my A last saturday. I've been working my nuts off as well as attending the club each week. Finally the examiner decided I was ready to take the test. I'm sure others have done the same, I havent read all of the notes but congrats to those of you that have and happy flying all. I wish everybody on this thread the very best and thanks to those of you that have helped and encouraged me in the past. !!!! Happy Flying :-)

Welcome everybody to all those just joining !!! Everybody here is great. Hi ya chaps, I'm sorry I havent been around for a while. the dreaded W is taking so much of my time at the mo. Went to flying field on sunday, weather crap with rain but got a couple of flights in. will keep all posted, cheers Jez

Nice one Angus , well done mate. Back soon for update......been very busy like Antony, nice to read all, take it easy all Clarky

Hi all !! Spence, good luck for August 3rd, have a cracking day, perhaps one of us could do a fly by !!! Just kidding mate LOL WOW Anthony, 26 years, now that's an achievement, pleased to hear you are still happy mate. Oh and Danny, I bet your over the moon, superb to hear the WOT 4 came down under controlled power, problem solved. I'm off work this week, going down to teh club tomorrow to see if there is anyone there to get me up and away again, wish me luck. Catch up soon chaps, Clarky

Hi Anthony, not at all my friend, I'm very passionate, its just getting the time. People like you and the rest of the people who joined this thread are what makes the site so cool. I hope your sons wedding goes really well, weddings are great, I married two years ago and havent looked back, very happy. Have a fantastic time, catch up soon. Clarky

Hi All, sorry it's been a while. Just catching up. Just thought I would let you all know I've finally got up up and away!!!! I got back from my first flight a couple of hours ago. Fantastic experience. I really did feel a sense of achievement when the rising star first lifted off the floor. My trainer a young 16 year old wizard with the sticks was very helpful, thorough and generous with his time. I done plenty of circling in both directions and a few figure of eights. He had to gain control a few times, I was a bit too heavy handed a once or twice and sent the plane into a steep climb, ooopppsss but other than that I had a good flight. I am so pleased that Ive finally got going. My reason for little posting recently is because of decorating and the dreaded work, I have lots to do as me and my wife are expecting a baby in august. I wonder how old they will be before I pass them a TX :-) Anyway if anyone has any questions re my experience feel free to ask. I hope your all well chaps, enjoy your weekend !! Clarky

Hey Angus you star mate !! fantastic news. well done very pleased for you chap. Looks like you will be on your way to getting that A Certificate in no time. Good on you. I cant wait to go myself, it seems to be taking ages, like Spence I was caught in with wind this weekend but perhaps this one will be next. Otherwise I'll be booking time of work in the week to get down there LOL. Take it easy all Clarky

Hi Maurice, come to the Newbies thread, there are lots of us there just getting into the hobby with some that will be able to help you. We are on beginners / newbies......see you there Clarky

Fantastic Danny, great news. Never mind Ant, it has been blowing a gale everywhere, we'll get there :-)
