      Well the resident weather guru (Seaside Mitch) certainly picked another fine day for flying today & we had a decent turnup to boot with 7 pilots ready to hone their skills.

      Kermit was maidening his rather large Carbon Cub SS and whilst he only got around to one flight it went off without a hitch.

      Same can’t be said for his “Big Greenie”, today it had enough power to get airborne (with a 6S only just) but it needs some strengthening of the elevator to stop it flexing all the time.

      Apart from his uneventful maiden with the Cub the poor Frog was well out of luck with all his other flights & almost lost his Freeman in the quite strong winds just before lunch.

      I had a bit of an issue with the Wild Wing but at least the Blanik Glider & Bix 2 Sport flew well.

      Stephen flew “Big Red” & Peter brought along his unflown Tigre 40 powered trainer for show & tell.

      Not sure what the others flew as I was a bit busy today assisting others & trying to get a bit of my own flying in as well.

      Usual BBQ lunch around midday (thanks Kermit) then back to a bit more flying.

      Hopefully we will have “Sheep Shagger” Ross back in the air next time we fly. I an setting up his radio as mode 3 as we figure that will be the easiest for him to operate with his crippled hand, Mode 3 & a decent SpeedyBee F405 Wing Mini flight controller should have him flying FPV again just like old times.

      Great smooth video Kermit.

      Sorry, here is my late video of Kermit from the famous “TOP GUN FLIGHT SCHOOL” showing us how it’s done.

      And also showing us how not to.
