Well after rebuild number 2, I’m ready to go for the next fly day which will be Monday 4th December 2023.
I’ve done a few sneaky modifications this time so here’s hoping it will be a successful flight and most importantly, landing!!!!
Make sure your camera batteries are charged up Kermit!!! 🙂
Great fun today Shorty. Thanks for setting the challenging courses. It was hard to navigate in the swirling wind but the day ended up very satifying.
Following is the hat cam footage from today. I ended up upgrading my micro SD card to capture more races but alas, the camera battery doesn’t last the full two hours so I missed the last race.
Race 1:
Race 2:
Unfortunately these are the last two races that were recorded on my hatcam as the SD card ran out of space. I’ll need to get a larger SD card card if I want to capture all the races. Might be a good time with Black Friday sales coming up 🙂

Thank you for those kind words Kermit but I reckon I was a gadget back then also.
One day I will regale you with the invention I came up with during a military exercise at Katherine where the SAS regiment wanted to use in real combat!
Great videos everyone and it was a magnificent days flying.
You were so lucky with that truck incident Mike. Thank goodness that no one was injured. Maybe the truck drive will pay a bit more attention while driving now?
Kermit, seeing as though you mentioned “perhaps it’s an age thing like going back to your youth”, you remided me about the original video of the plane that was filmed in 1991 (with 1991 video technology!).
So, here is the vintage video of the plane that was flown on an unused runway in Katherine NT. I think the runway was one of the left overs from WW2.
