I hope I'm allowed to do this, but I don't feel like re-typing the whole thing, so here goes:  a link to my post on the Thorn: http://www.rcmf.co.uk/4um/index.php?topic=42039.0

cool,

well done, it sounds like a lot of fun, shame Mweelin was in cloud, it would have been great up there?

I am now waiting for the same sort of wind to try my Whisper, with its new super strong (and Heavy) carbon wings, the whole model weighs in at 2.3kg now (20oz/sq ft wing loading) which should make it quite exciting....

Fear and loathing 2 coming soon.....

Can't wait!

Keep us posted!

I tried the Thorn again today at Tralee Golf Course.  I've discovered that you probably need a minimum of 25 knots for it to work........  More replacement wing bolts are needed....  I'm sure the HD Whisper will work in less wind than that!

Hi Chris,

Tested ok here, but you have a file size limitation (550 x 550 pixels)
I always put a bit less (500).

Well, I tried to reduce some photos of the Thorn to below 500 x 500, and they are so small, not sure if you can see anything:
