And you are telling us YOU are going to miss it.
I’m happy to come and pick you up if you can’t drive. Just won’t be the same if the Frog is not there.
Gee I was well over the start line in Race 7, from where I was sitting I thought it was clear. Just as well I never got a podium spot in that race or I’d have to give it back.
Great videos Gerald.
Thanks.
Just got around to checking the marine forecast for tomorrow & like Chris said its the best day for the week wind wise however it is still very windy 5 to 10 knots early picking up to 10 to 15 knots around 11:00 am.
At this stage I will give flying a miss tomorrow (Tuesday) but may go down for a sail @ the Duck.
As for the Presidents plane, given the issues we had trying to recover the Tundra (all to no avail) I would strongly suggest leaving it to the elements to shake loose. It will happen but may take a little while.
Ian may not be happy with this but we have all (except for Uncle G) been there and it’s just one of those things that you need to be patient about.
Given that fully extended our rescue pole is barely controllable, attempting to extent it even further with another piece of material is prone to failure.
Shooting a bow & arrow that close to a main road (even with the property owners permission) is extremely likely to bring unwanted attention of the worst kind to our little group.
Given the work that Ross & I put into securing this flying site we do no want anyone putting it at risk in any way what so ever.
Whilst we remain under the radar we do get away with pushing the flying boundaries somewhat but this could change in an instant.
Please think about it and the wrath of your fellow flyers should we lose this site.
Well done Chris, Yes its still up there but we had lots of practice that will prove invaluable when we get some decent bloody rope.!!!
Just as well the arrow (0:40 sec) stopped short, it was making a bee line for your Mavic Mini
Must say terrible choice of music, think it was better without it. Just my humble opinion.
Just noticed this on the web today, looks like Horizon are releasing what looks like an E-Sky Eyas under their own brand at almost 3 times the price.
I’m sure the weather over the coming week will shake poor old Grasshopper loose & send it CRASHING DOWN to Terra Firma.
So Thunderbird 13 & International Rescue saves the day yet again.
Well done Uncle G (Thunderbird 13 pilot extraordinaire).
The big screen viewing makes a world of difference but even then hard to spot so great job.
Tree looks a bit tall for the Rescue pole though. Guess the frog will need to wait for a windy night. Only took 3 weeks for the old Bixler 2 to dislodge itself so dont despair Kermit, good things come to those who wait.
Sounds like you have plenty of willing helpers so I will do other things (like repair the Pitts landing gear).
Oh dear, well that is a bit of bad luck, probably parked up somewhere with a couple of C17’s & Flight MH370
