Excellent write up as usual Shorty.

Footage from my hat cam.

I tried changing the resolution and aspect ration to try and get bigger images rather than widescreen where the boats are too far away.

I think I still need to experiment a bit more.

Good write up Col.  You really captured the day. 👍

[Gadget]

I saw this video on ground effect for airfoils and I wonder if it would work at the canal?

 

[Gadget]

Thank you Kermit. I am honoured. 😎

[Gadget]

Oooh, I like “Combat Wing”. 😁

[Gadget]

All good Kermit. Thank you for enquiring.

Pred has coined it “Wing Wing” so that’s what it will be 🙂

[Gadget]

Oh, Mr Kermit. The “wing wing” thing flew nicely after a bit of tweaking with the COG.

Thank you.

Do you know what it called?

[Gadget]

I agree Mr Kermit. Excellent video so far.

Mike, very close call with the BumbleBee and those power lines!!!

As discussed around the field today, here is a link to the dental floss control horns that I stumbled across and are now using in the spitfire:

A good 4K production Gerald.

You captured the crashes in fantastic resolution.

Well done.

[Gadget]

Wow! That was good flying in the blustery conditions Mr Kermit.  Well done.

Similar conditions out at the duck with quite a bit of DF95 nose diving.

[Gadget]

Wow! 900kgs. That’s a lot of thrust 😂

Thanks Mike. I’ll have a read of that.

[Gadget]

I finally got my next Spitfire built and it’s ready for the next fly day.

I call it the Frankestein Cardboard Beer Carton Spitfire.

It’s the 800mm version of the Spitfire.

Congratulations Mike.

Well deserved.
