Does that yellow machine do all the work to get the field looking like a golf course Ron?.

I use them for many a model and different paints, it isn't easy to set it up, get the right mix and thickness of the paint, and when that's all done you need a steady hand to keep the right speed to keep the line even,,,not for the faint-hearted,,,

90+% of our club are M 2, I taught most of them 😇, I fly M 1 and M 2, I did have an awkward take off a few weeks ago M 2 rudder on the right stick, ailerons on the left one, all I can say is that it was exciting missing the fence down the runway.😅

Retracts can be a headache, my new PC-9 mechanical ones are modified my seagull, so far it's cost me a retract servo 😈so mains are now electric, but my Marutaka Spitfire is still good with it's Hanno Pretner mechanicals and Futabe retract servo after 25 years of flying.😃

Maybe it's a weather factor, we have the Mistral in the winter and spring, so it's right-hand circuits, in summer it's the southern breeze so left-hand circuits for the summer flyers.

Hi David, why do you need one ?, I have a few petrol planes and their size makes them stable. Interference = vibration ?.

Yes you can't have enough Spitfires, I have three and 'nearly' a fourth last week, a French company selling an arf 90 one with electric retracts new for 249€ ! Too late for my Lazer 90, it's going into a PC-9,,

One neighbour is making one into a garden playroom for his kids, and another neighbour has his garden tools in it, and a 3rd on our club field with a couple of mowers and planes in it,,,

Parcels are a big problem today with the usual 'covid' excuse, I bought a 2.08m second hand Stuka in 2010, it was sent from the top of France to me at the bottom, it arrived at my local sorting office 2 klm's down the road, they phoned me to pick it up as the two boxes wouldn't fit in their van, two trips with my old Peugeot, 407SW a big estate and only one would fit at a time and the back door wouldn't close, last year they wouldn't accept my little Quickie 500 as the box was over 1.20m, ( 1m29 )

I pay my electric, water and a few other bills, it saves the big company's empting your bank account when they make a mistake, which is always your fault !

France is different, our club is 90% cheques, the rest in cash.

What is that ?.🤢

You are obviously talking about me, I 😅did all that and still do,,,

Or just a coat of mat varnish will make it disappear with the brush marks.

To stop the Prosynth saga, and any complaints please send your unwanted Prosynth fuel to me, care of,,,,,🤣 And while you are at it, any 4 strokes to be binned,,,😇

Got two of them, brilliant !

3 drops of super glue, and up into the blue yonder again,,,

No, that's when the motor falls off, Paramotor,,, https://www.bhpa.co.uk/sport/power/paramotor/

The French eu importer says no,,,http://www.aviotiger.com/telechargement.php?menu=8 It's in the top yellow line,,,

My Enya 120 4c also threw props, as one of my 2 Saito 100's did, both tamed with a shim.

No chance, even Free !, I used to do the Avignon faire the last being in 1995, even free it ended up as a wash-out, we also had the 'Arles" extravaganza, dead and buried for the last 20 years, there isn't any money in model stands any more, everyone is on their 'smart' phones getting a couple of pennies off somewhere,,,🤢

Rubbish phone zoom x4 a broken down Rafale being towed by a Bronco over my place this afternoon.😅

£150 to see Lowes in the kitty litter and Rea 7th,😅 you can get a 3 day Pass at Barcelona for £70 and see Zarko in the kitty litter and Quatararo 15th,,,🤣 I went to the 70th Patrouille de France, 10am to 18h non stop but no Lancaster or Hurricane for 21€ a real bargain,,,

I live in France, no rates here,,,😅
