Thats nice. Looks like he is well into it.

Did you hear the story of the disgruntled archaeologist?

A man was walking along when he saw his mate the archaeologist crashing a radio controlled plane into a field. He asked him what he was doing.
The archaeologist replyed. " I'm out to confuse the archaeologists of the future, i want to destroy the profession. I crash the plane into the ground, then I get a dead hamster, fit the hamster with flying goggles and a sheepskin jacket, then pop him in the cockpit. Then I cover it all over with soil, I've done it dozens of times. When the fools do a dig in a thousand years time, they will marvel at how advanced our civilisation was, that we tried to train hamsters to fly."

Wow that's a beauty.  I'd be afraid to fly it!

The maiden is always a tense time, this is Brian's model (whatarascal on here and VOD) he is an extremely proficient flier, taught me a lot of what I know. I will hopefully be getting down to Wiltshire for it's maiden flight.

Well I never, I didn't know Brian was a model plane flier.  How does he find the time what with the bio brewing?

Yes Bio does sort of take over doesn't it, all my models are in storage since moving to Northants in Aug 2011, seeing this baby fly will most likely kick start me back into it.

Bri I will get around to downloading the maiden off my phone and upload that to the tube and link it here too.

Must have been breezy for the speed it landed at, you wouldn't think it was 30 plus lbs.
