Ian Jones Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Decision at last - Sunday for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well, What can I say... Its been a great day today, with a Fantastic turnout and a plethora of models. There have been Maidens.... Crunchies....... Some near misses and some combat. Not to mention meeting up with friends, old and new! The wind started light but built nicely throughout the day culminating with some good smooth lift towards sunset! camera were clicking left, right and centre so there are bound to be some wonderful images for you all to see in due course. We are all about to head out for the obligatory Curry and Beers (and maybe not in that order!), before a good nights sleep for day 2 tomorrow. Thanks to those of you who could only make it today. Your attendance makes these events really worth it. To those of you only coming on Sunday...... See you soon!!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Jones Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks to everyone involved in putting the weekend together. Great to meet up with friends old and new.Looking forwards to the video Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tired and sunburnt, with both emotions of joy and sadness. Joy thanks to the great turnout of modellers / models including travellers from Scotland ( Hi Steve ) and John Pearson from N Ireland. Usual suspects Matt, Simon and Sue, Phil, and Dave, etc etc.... so good to meet up and fly and chat. Nice that Zaidy enjoyed his F18 - its restored his lagging enthusiasm no end and Countdown REALLY enjoyed his bearcat, and flew it very well too - well done Rich. Sadness cos its the last PSSA of the year Somehow, I just didnt quite get in the groove this session, due to number of things, but looking forward to the next years season and hope to have some great new models, and a more settled life to help things along. Cheers guys, look forward to the pics / vids. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A few (mediocre) shots here **LINK** I'd also like to add my thanks to Phil for organising another year's events and those that travelled long distances to make it the great social that it is. Unfortunately the wind let us down today but we had a great day yesterday and only stopped as the sun was half set Now we must look forward, forward to 2013 and lots of new models now that there's 6 months until the next meet, plenty of building time.....

David Gilder Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well I have been having a look at some of the video footage I got from my onboard camera... Some good bits, some not so good, but one bit that really caught my eye was a pass from Simon Cockers B52.. I think this was quite close!! Once I have had chance to sort it all out, I will make a short video and post on here! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Nice photos and close pass. I was working all weekend, but nevermind. I hope to hve time to work on the F86 over the winter, but have lots of potential time draws ths year - like the possibility of a new shed etc. See you all soon my friends.

Phil Cooke Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Nice one chaps, great to hear we've all had a good weekend of it, despite the lack of lift and no PSS flying today!! Yesterday was a belter though, particularly in the afternoon when everything came just right with ample lift and gorgeous skies from 2pm until sunset. Such a shame it went dark when it did, as we were all still flying well. The social in the evening was also a great way to end our season, a good group of us out and some from far afield, thanks again to John Pearson for making the effort and travelling on the ferry from Ireland to join us with all his cool models. Look forward to seeing your video Dave - looks like you were lucky not to get wiped out by Simons BUFF in that shot!! Matt - some lovely shots there in your album too - love the sunset Canberra shots!!! I will trawl through all the photos I took and combine the pick of those with Matt's and Sue's catch to create an album for use here and on the PSSA site. As already mentioned, its time now to focus on those 'big' PSS builds that we all know are half baked in our homes and garages right now, 2013 will be a special season for sure if all of these new models are finsihed, tested and brought together on the slope for a 'Mammoth PSS' photo call!!! I look forward to that day eagerly!!! Oh, and for those in on the laugh early today.............. ......................................................................................

Phil Cooke Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ok, just one edited shot from me to whet the appetite before I retire for the night... We were treated to a number of new PSS models at this weekends event - This is John Pearson's magnificent Boeing 787 'Dreamliner' - caught here in a realistic pose, sunlit against a moody Welsh sky. Great stuff!! Edited By Phil Cooke on 14/10/2012 22:32:48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly P Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nice Video. I don't reckon I'll get much done this winter, but depends on various things at home. Might have a proper shed by the end of the build season and so might get more done that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
