Chris Barlow Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Posted by Morgan Goule on 25/05/2015 20:28:13: same here nick and let me say for our first show of the year we had a brilliant turn out (we must be doing something right) Simple! It's full of excellent models, brilliant flying and loads of fun mixed in! Really enjoyed it, kids loved seeing Bertie Basset flying for real and the RadJet mass launch was just awesome! Can't wait for the next one. More RadJets and more Atoms! Huge thanks from me, the wife & both kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just one more thing to add though... The vision of the ManKini floating past the caravan window hanging from the skids of Rich Harris's quad was a little traumatic, but not as traumatic as Dani G running back wearing it!

Allan Bowker Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sadly I only made it on Monday, however had a great days flying with my son, Harry and my GMAC friends. Thanks again and see you all for the July fly-in. Good weather is on order from HobbyKing, let's hope it doesn't arrive defective Still campaigning my Hangar 9 Funtana 125G (10S EP), it's slowly making me a better pilot!

reg shaw Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Many thanks to the Greenacres crew for yet another great weekend of toy aeroplaning!! I could only do Sat / Sun but had a fab time none the less. Many thanks also to Chris Barlow for finding me a pile of nuts and bolts in his tool box. These were to replace the dedicated tools and bolts I'd left in the 'Allsorts' tin on my bench at home and contained the important bits that hold the Flea together!! Roll on the next!! Ian.

reg shaw Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Alan, the Barracuda was a scratch built blue foam model, complete with retracts and fancy flaps. Didn't get the builders name, know he is an aviation artist from Coventry though. Interesting that the model didn't have any ailerons, but used the inboard flaps as both flaps and ailerons. Hope this helps a snadgers. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to contribute to "the sweetie plane" as my kids call it! They've seen it so many times on my videos and youtube I was really pleased they got to see it for real! A very ballsy flight on Sunday too. It really didn't like the cross wind and on landing Georgia said "Bertie fell over. I hope he's all right" Their delight in seeing it fly (twice) was worth much more than a hand full of nuts and bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAA aircraft are sadly undermodelled and that model looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
