Steve Porter 1 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi John 4 of them were mine the rest are my flying buddys we had 11 models that day all in the back of the VW estate bit of a squeeze, flew them all except one the Playboy, my Astro Hog was given to me as the previous owner thought it was fuel soaked only took a couple of evenings to sort out flies really well it currently has a ASP 61 in the front other engines include SC 91 four stroke and a Merco 61 all capable of towing the large glider in front of the collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wagg Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks for video and some good filming. Do you know what the "crack" noise (at 5.46) is just before the model dives into the field ? Yes certainly right rudder causing the mishap. Static shot of my QF on dead stick landing at 6.06. A great day for the Gliders. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Geezer Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 In the words of Max Boyce “I was there” - one of the best day’s flying in a long long time - but HOT! Smashing atmosphere - flew my Junior 60 and my Scorpion (both Lipo powered) several times through the day, hardly any queueing to get in the air. Roll on the next meeting, and I hope the SAM meetings are as relaxed as Cocklebarrow, must try at least one of those this year ( & maybe Old Warden too? ).
