Hi Ron,

So far, maybe. But maybe not for too long  :mrgreen:

Congratulation on the first flight  :clap:

Any build photos or more info somewhere?

Not mine I'm afraid.
Belongs to a chap called Pete.
We all 'helped' him maiden it today at The Old Head of Kinsale.
Think it took him six months to build.

Hi Alan,
Ah no God, not be me, that was just a general comment  :D

I like the pilot! Looks like an album from Iron Maiden  :D

That is a remarkable model, fantastic build project, I'd say he was sweating as it got thrown off the old head of kin sale  :clap:
