Steve Houghton 1 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well todays session didn't quite go to plan, but only because the F3F comp organised for flying on Mickey's was cancelled due to only 4 competitors entering. So 5 of us had a great day flying in 20 - 25mph winds with huge thermals and huge lift. What a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Houghton 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Tim, it's called slopeitis and is highly contagious . I want to move on to an aerobatic mouldie and this looks like it meets my current requirements. No more model purchases this year though, have to keep some money back for Xmas you know, but will be looking at something like a Jedi 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Houghton 1 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Nice one Phil, go for the 46", not the 60". You won't regret it, the WT is a lot of fun to fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Ball Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm hoping to maiden my new Fussion this week, I saw the Fussion the weekend before last and although basically the same as my Wildthing it looked a little more nimble and slippery, and being new it should be able to handle lighter conditions so the intention is the Wildthing for heavy air and chaotic formation flying and the Fussion for playing "nicely" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ive decided to try the new flying wings "Spectre" instead of another SAS model.I was very tempted by the fusion, especially after seeing Ian's a week or two ago, but thought hey ho...I like my flying wings slipstream - so lets see how they have done on this, their latest creation.

I liked the look of it as soon as they brought it out. They say it's fast, but compared to what? Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a good un anyway and I look forward to hearing a report from you Tim.
