Happy Days:
Sorry to hear “Scottie” (he must have been called that more than once in his life! :wink: ) won’t be joining us. He’s very good at launching planes you know. I once asked him to launch one of mine, meaning for him to launch it off the ridge. Instead, he nearly launched it off the planet! :lol:
The winds look like they’re gonna play ball this weekend, predominately westerly’s at 30 - 40K. I can live with that. (40 - 60 would be better, but let’s not be greedy.)
Don’t forget to bring some foamies that I can smash to pieces with my combat wing, John. :twisted: (I do like a bit of ‘rough’ sometimes)
So,…….I shall look forward to seeing your happy smiling faces on Saturday.

Sorry Keith I'm having enough problems driving the 20 mins to work at the moment! :shock: The thought of 4 - 5 hours is just not on. I wouldn't be able to stand at the far end, let alone wander up and down hills and fly :cry: :cry:
The launch technique was learnt throwing F3f models in Scotland in the days when they were b***y heavy and needed a good chuck.
Never a bad thing to throw a model hard........................ as long as it's not at the ground :twisted:
Saw one in Norway thrown in to a dry stone wall! We were launching over the wall and one of the Danish team slipped as he was throwing £1000 worth of model...OOPS!
See you at the next event , Or maybe up here :?:
