Title: Some more pictures from Wales
Post by: Timbo on October 16, 2012, 09:48:18 AM: Yo ladies, I stuck a couple of pics and comments up over on JPs thread re: his visit to the orme, but rather than get O/T I will put a few here too - mostly of the Orme sessions, but also a couple from another local fantastic slope area the "Lleyn peninsula"

Thanks for sharing the photos :D

For the image, you can upload them directly from your computer.
Max size is 800x800.

One photo link / line should sort you out :) (sorry, old system :oops: )

Hope this helps

Quick question for you.
For the cutting, the fan, is it to cool down the wire here to avoid the foam to burn too much because of the tapper here? :?:

The B52 looks great, these are a fantastic model and really fly well of the slope. I like the paint scheme that you are going to use.
Next year is going to be great with a squardon of B52's flying of the slope, WOW Great!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
