Mt Leinster - 24th May 08

<< < (3/4) > >>

Happy Days:
Yes, that was a great time.

Must get me one of those Wings. Combat looks shuch fun :D  (May be it's the agressive streak in me wanting to get out!)

Feel very sorry for you Fred, loosing the P51 then the K3. I know you'll do a grand job of repairing them, I'm sure we'll see their silhouette in the sky again before long.
Nice picies too,.........looking forward to the movie!

Fred:
P51 already fixed. Was not broken, just the wing unglued. Glued back with 3 drops of epoxy, ready for the next encounter !  :D

BANZAIIIIIIII !!!!!   :D

Ka3, well, I have checked the damages.. 2 hours of work and she will be back flying ! Just the front wood strips are broken, looks bad, but in fact that's the only broken thing !  :D
Advantages of wood building !  :D  :P


So, ready for more combat ?  :wink:  :D

joe:
Thanks for posting the photos Fred. That was a good day! Nice to do some flying again! Sorry 'bout the P51! although that is the idea of combat. Banzai!!!!!  :D

Fred:

Hey... excellent stuff Fred :D

Pity about the damage to your scale machines, good news that it is superficial.

We had a great time, well worth the visit to Mount Leinster.  The whole way home in the car, Bob and myself reassured each other about how tired we were.  My eyes were even a bit wind burned...I suppose that's what you should expect standing in winds peaking at well over 60kmh (our Bob had the anemometer to prove it...39mph gusts!!!)

I think my Middle Phase deserves paint now in recognition of it's good behaviour :clap:  Have to order a new receiver for my combat weasel after it blew out of my hand and dismantled itself on the way back to the car... Ooops  :oops:   Hey... It was windy... I was tired... S**t happens :roll:

Looking forward to the next sortie alerady :wink:

Thank you all for showing us how and where :clap:

Garry
