Tim Mackey Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 That Comet looks really nice Matt - are you gonna reveal what size the "proper" one will be when youve done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Tim, there is no proper one, 24" is as big as it'll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Despite the weekends PSSA meet being "cancelled" today, a few of us turned up anyway, and scratched around for lift in approx 3MPH North - South - East - and then West sniffs. A few resorted to quiet whirly things to assist, and half a dozen or so of us enjoyed a beautiful day on the rock, with Spitfires, ME109s, SU47 Berkats, EPP Eagles, Weasels, and another pure glider, of which I forgot its name ( sorry Steve )Nice to see 4 new prospective members, and looking forward to a better turnout and conditions tomorrow. Next is curry and beer tonight, and then bedtime prayers for a westerly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Great to catch up with so many people again and enjoy some better than expected flying yesterday. I've got some new stuff coming for next year so need to clear some space. If anyone fancies either my Hunter or F-18 let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Lynock Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi All, This Saturday 19th November is the next scheduled Long Mynd F3f competition. Open to all, so please, if you don't yet have a specific racing model don't let it stop you coming along and enjoying the fun. These events are organised to help and encourage pilots take their first steps into competition flying. It's all very straight forward and lots of help on hand. Please let me know if you are intending on coming along, so that I can notify you if we cancel on Friday due to snow or the like... Meet on the carpark on the top of the Burway hill out of Church Stretton 9.00am Best regards Mike Evans [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Jones Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Great new Dave. The cold war is coming to north Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The "Cold War" always comes to Wales... (always chuffing cold up that there hill!) I have however bought an all in one suit and a Tx Mitt so should be toastie this time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bad news. Unfortunately the AN72 has not made much progress recently and with under 2 weeks to go to the 1st meet, it is still a long way from being finished (wings not arrived yet!). Also, due to the demise of the T45 Goshawk, I dont currently have any PSS models to fly.. So I have made the decision to miss the 1st PSS meeting (which hopefully will give me more time to press on with the builds I currently have going on (AN72, Matador, Hawk, OV-10 Bronco!!!!) Hope I will see you all soon though!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well the first PSSA event of 2012 ran fairly successfully 21st/22nd April with a good turn out of pilots both days and a number of new models seen flying. The weather did its best to frustrate us, with wind direction and speeds not ideal for PSS flying until later on each day, but those who sat it out were rewarded with 20mph South Westerly winds on the most favoured slope in the afternoon of both events. Perfect conditions! A full report and photos to follow very soon on the PSSA website, for now ill post just a few photos to whet your appetite!

Phil Cooke Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Simon Cocker flew his 18' span An-225 'Myria' at the Orme for the first time. Awesome stuff!! Matt Jones test flew his brand new Su-27 Flanker from the Andy Conway plans, fitted with REHEAT! Matt also flew his mighty Avro Vulcan, 72" span. Simon also beat up the slopes with his 10' span BAC Canberra. And Rez Manzoori showed off his new Hawk T1 in the 2009 RAF display colours. Gorgeous! That's it for now, the full report and all the photos and videos will go live on the PSSA website soon, ill link here too so keep checking for updates. Thanks again to all who travelled to attend this event and make it a success - a good start to the 2012 season chaps!!
