Alan Gorham_ Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Posted by Alan Gorham_ on 09/09/2019 22:06:15: What a picture this is Mark! It could be Roly Falk approaching over the black sheds at Farnborough in 195something. I hope Peter sees this and smiles... Of course it would have been Roland Beamont who was the English Electric test pilot and not Roly Falk who was at Avro! Slapped wrist.....

KiwiKid Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks for the pics - great stuff. Just wondering if Jez's AW52 has flown yet - she has been ready to go for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Gorham_ Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It is a Blohm und Voss bv212 or possibly a 215? Edited By Alan Gorham_ on 10/09/2019 21:43:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Twist Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hi Gents, it's a Blohm and Voss 215. Two seat, single jet fighter, the rear crew member faced backwards and also manned twin machine guns set on a small turret. It's a planked balsa fuselage with foam / veneer wings.

Harry Twist Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Phil, that's a superb selection of photos from the weekend. Many thanks for organising the event and also for the hard work in collating and sharing the images with us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kettle 1 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nice model Harry, thanks for the in info Alan and how was the maiden flight Harry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Twist Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hi Mark, maiden went well, with a slightly forward cog which I have now adjusted. Rather than adding more specific comments here in the 'gliding events' folder, I'll add them to the B&V file in the 'build blogs' folder. Keeps it all tidy!

It's great to see such a good turnout of fliers and I expect there were a few more who missed the group pic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kettle 1 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 PSSA The Great Orme 7th September 2019 - at the NW Cafe Slope. Tim Mackey's A380 scale slope glider that has 4x engine pods that come off when landing, they knock off on first contact with the grass. Watch the video of the A380 landing from a high slope altitude to a landing by his feet.

Phil Cooke Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 As we approach the weekend there’s just 1 week to go before we stage our final planned PSSA Fly-In of the season – 12/13th October! Once again the Great Orme at Llandudno beckons, and the usual weather watch is already well underway. If all goes to plan we will meet at the Tank Track car park for the daily brief at 10am. Attendance is usually very strong as we bring our event season to a close, so get your models readied and I look forward to seeing you up there!!

Paul Jubb Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Great days flying yesterday at the Orme. A superb seasons finale. Hope you get some air time today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'm afraid based on the forecast when we retired last night we put out a cancellation note on social media for any formal meet today, the rain was persistent until 3pm - although I believe from a local source the weather did become flyable from then on. Truth be told many of our members travel an awfully long way to fly with us on the Orme and at 3pm on a Sunday its not uncommon for folk to be making a move, so I think cancellation was the right call... Of course we filled our boots on the Saturday with busy skies all day and an attendance as big as any PSSA event I can recall - brilliant stuff! A great way to end the season, a really memorable day set on the most favoured SW slope with perfect conditions, and in great company! Thanks to everyone who took part! I've included a few highlight photos of my own, there will be a full write up and more photos on the PSSA website soon! Of course we'd love to see anyone else's photos from the day, do please post them here - there was so much going on it was impossible to appreciate all that took place!
