Good New Year to all. We are slowly getting back to the normal routine. Hermanus 2010 was a HUGE success! Mainly because the wind blew this time. The Migs where very excited to steal the show, but I must mention that Ulrichs 3m span ship took the honours. He did not send me many construction photos, but if you would like to see more under the skin shots, I will mail him.

BIGGEST CORREX MIG-7 IN THE WORLD!!

So Ulrich, from Strand, Cape town, South Africa, says he is building the biggest correx, or corroplast, Mig-7 in the world. Would you like to prove him wrong? Drop us a mail if you know somebody building a Mig larger than 3000mm span!......anywhere in the world!! He is building it for the Hermanus Slope event at the end of November, Cape Town. He does not want to give too much away, that is why he has only sent one pic. Boooo Ulrich!!

BTW, we have had our forensic experts look at the pic and declare it has not been tampered with :-)

How to?

Below is before. Above is after!

How do you go from hero to DORK in 2 seconds? Lesson number one: Do not switch off the TX when you are placing the clip fom your neck strap, on the transmitter. This may damage your plane, especially if it is 800 feet high!! :-) OH well, I shall just have to build another!! Watch this space.

No wind to fly slope.

We went to the slope to fly with a hooking wind in town, 45km SW, only to find nothing at Maitlands. There was so much NOTHING, that we could not even fly Alulas. So Bakkie and I ducted a servo to the side of his Radian, pulled an elastic over the nose to hold a foamie, and gave gas!! It worked so well that we could piggy-back two planes at once! Well done Bakkie, your Radian is THE COOL!!
