Oh wow Andy, you have been a busy bee haven’t you. :D :clap:
You have a definite leaning towards the 'floater' side of the hobby at the moment, don’t you. Love that shade of blue. Did you cover it yourself or was it artf?
BTW How did your Oculus perform in the end? :?: Did you get any more trophies to add to your collection?

Hey Keith the Osprey was a kit I picked up cheap on eBay, I covered it myself it's transparent blue solarfilm and white solarspan.
Flew the Oculus in it's first competition on Sunday past, first flight managed to get a thermal and fly the 8 minute round it was to be the only 8 minute round of the day and went on to win 3 more rounds :D . Weather was cold and it wasn't very pleasant, looking forwards now to see how it performs on a good day :D
The wind hasn't favoured us last year and even up to now most of the winds have been easterly's so I'm not as motivated towards the slope side of things I still have my 1/4 scale k13 waiting to be finished
Who knows what this year will bring :?:

Nice one Andrew :clap:
I received last week my pod and boom fuselage proto (carbone/kevlar galor! :D ), I need to give those thermal competitions a try :mrgreen:
