Thanks..all dates are in the diary and I will try to make all of them at Mount L . I suspect the Vulcan would not be an ideal candidate for an aerotow so will miss out on Cork.

We do PSS towing :)

You just need a tow hook installed and off we go :) We can try at the field when days gets better

Photo of me towing a big phantom. And a few others i towed up. Everything can be towed up

Yep, let me ask the guys from the Club in France. It was flying like a rocket! A bit like mine (small one from a HET kit)

Was its maiden flights, but did look very good in the air!

Thanks Fred..they both look great but I think I would go for the bigger one so that I can see it 
I will have a search on line and see what plans I can come up with ...could be the next project !
