Danny Fenton Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) We had a really wonderful Nationals at Walsall, and there will be more in the magazine in the coming month. This was the first time R/C has been flown at Walsall, the Free Flight guys have been using the venue for some time, but its always been too pricey for the low entry that R/C attracts, not sure why, I guess indoor R/C is too difficult ? Anyway congrats to Graham Smith for taking Gold in scale, just pipping Andrew Whites Vulcan, both very impressive models. I took bronze with my Cub. Kit scale was won by Ian Pallister flying a 33 year old Veron Tiger Moth. I would like to say I came a close second but I was miles behind, but at least I did get highest static score with my VMC Se5a, shame my flying was so rusty. Andrew White was third with KK Se5a In Flying only a win for Graham Smith again, this time with an FB8, second place was Al Foot flying a box kite. Third was last years winner Brian Seymour with a MicroAces Fokker DVII The venue is brilliant and has transformed the event, decent pictures for a start, a different funding method meant sponsors covered a good chunk of the Saturdays cost, hopefully the sponsors got good value for money and will do it all again next year. Why don't you join us?? Cheers Danny PS my Jack Savage Se ended up second to last, said my flying was rubbish....
