cymaz Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just spent an excellent day flying in the LMA Show at Much Marcle. The gentle wind straight down the strip and the warm sunny weather was glorious. What really made the day was the excellent stewards, organisation and the hard work of all the volunteers.....a sincere big “ thank you.” Let’s have a good day of flying Sunday. I will post pictures at some point when I get home..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Sharples Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi Cymaz. Couldn't make it today so going tomorrow (Sunday) it's 1/2hr down the road so silly not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Mrs Cymaz just bought me my Christmas and birthday present. A new 30cc 2stroke gas engine with spare Pitts muffler for £90! There are some seriously nice aircraft. Come and say “hi”. Orange and white Stampe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark a Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Really enjoyed the show today some really nice flying in almost perfect conditions. I think the LMA shows take some beating in my opinion long may they continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Pleased you copped for some good weather, enjoy tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yup, very enjoyable day down there today with some mighty fine models. All the LMA and club volunteers were very friendly and organised a great event. Promised myself not to buy another model but failed again. The only thing I would change is to use my lunch break to sneak a visit to the Westons Cider shop/bar up the road. On my calendar for next year.

Tim Ballinger Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Glorious day it was indeed, difficult to pick highlights but the Lancaster formation was pretty stirring. My local club strip so only a short drive for me and I am stocked up with balsa for the winters building. Congrats to all the LMA folks .

Nigel R Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Well done to lma and all involved. Great show. Lots of good stuff going on at the flight line.The Boys liked robbie skiptons pitts and the warthog and l39 jets.I rather liked the prop guy graduate. Sadly a Bit big for my storage and transport facilities though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trebor Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 With the noise of those Airbus turbines singing I could easily think it was the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCFlippen Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 As a noobie to the hobby it was my first experience of an air show and I must say for me it was superb. Well organised and good range of trade stands - did spend a bit of pocker money! - even the burgers were good. The Lancaster flying was amazing and the Red arrows certainly showed the skills that can be attained. To see Dick Dastardly take off in about 3 feet was unbelievable. The silhouette of the Lysander was memorable. Hey ho onwards and hopefully upwards till next year. Thank you to all who made the day so good.

Nigel R Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Trade presence was quite good I thought. In many respects it was a good thing I had the boys to watch over which certainly saved my wallet from certain death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Although I was helping out on the Falcon Aviation stand, the show seemed well run and always something in the air. Also a wide range of models, from WW1 to WWII, aerobatic models and weird others (flying carpet). Seems many shows today seem to miss out the warbirds, which I think makes a more interesting display. Poor Robbie Skipton suffered sheared bolts on his large Pits Bulldog which suffered some damage. Seems a problem with shearing bolts/Spinners - myself have had two sets shear off, and wondering if Titanium bolts will be better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel R Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Nice one cymaz. That Jungmeister was superb. I left after it went up on Sunday so only saw it fly the once. When did the Pitts problems occur? I saw the blue one flying (around 11am?) in his usual style, it's a great show plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the blue one flying (around 11am?) in his usual style, it's a great show plane. TBH , I really can’t remember ! But blink and miss it. The Pitts was flying down wind by the orchard on the very far side of the strip. It only made 30’ or so before landing. It was quite low....unfortunate spot. A bit higher or faster Robbie might have flared it out morebit it just sank...he did his best. The U/C took most of the force , it stopped then went over on its nose. The back broke but it’s repairable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
