I hope I'm allowed to do this, but I don't feel like re-typing the whole thing, so here goes:  a link to my post on the Thorn: http://www.rcmf.co.uk/4um/index.php?topic=42039.0

BRIAN COOMBS:
cool,

well done, it sounds like a lot of fun, shame Mweelin was in cloud, it would have been great up there?

I am now waiting for the same sort of wind to try my Whisper, with its new super strong (and Heavy) carbon wings, the whole model weighs in at 2.3kg now (20oz/sq ft wing loading) which should make it quite exciting....

Fear and loathing 2 coming soon.....

cvanscho:
Can't wait!

Keep us posted!

I tried the Thorn again today at Tralee Golf Course.  I've discovered that you probably need a minimum of 25 knots for it to work........  More replacement wing bolts are needed....  I'm sure the HD Whisper will work in less wind than that!

Chris :D
