enrico Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 No wind (again) so went down the field to watch the boys power-flying and saw more destruction in half an hour there than we see in six months in them rolling hills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 OK, I feel like an interloper - but I suppose I'll just have to make do with a kebab like everyone else - boom boom! Ken has been having a few issues with photos - so he has sent me a few he says he can't post. Now I'm not so sure - I think he's just trying to get me in trouble with the great Enrico (peace be upon him!). But anyway here goes.... The first one Ken entitles "Enrico's Family on Holiday" The second is simply entitled "Enrico's Family" (no wonder the poor man looks harassed!) Finally we have "The HTP" (Love granny with the 12 bore!) Looks to me like the Dog's the only one that isn't interbred! Anyway, there we have it. Piccies sucessfully posted. Ken - I'll post a little later on the Pitts Cafe thread how I did this - for your and Terry's benefit (and anyone else that wants to read it!) as Terry was having similar problem I believe.

enrico Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The Posse have noticed that most of Ken-ne1 models seem to land better when switched off .!! Zipper hybrid flew straight off the kitchen worktop, and Geoff's new Luna has now been maidened after 2 years lying under his bed in the box !!!!!!!

David Ashby - Moderator Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Reminds me of my first flying experience. Age 5, picked up dad's little model (switched off) when his back was turned chatting to clubmates, and threw it off the hill. He picked it up undamaged at the bottom of the slope.
