For those that are interested, here is an AI poetry version of today’s write up….
Seven sails on Puddleduck’s glassy sheen,
A Nationals’ draw, a Montrose scene.
East wind’s promise, a southerly’s sway,
The dam’s own whims held sway that day.Buoys one to four, a looping track,
Seven boats danced, there was no turning back.
Zero to three knots, a fickle breeze,
From hero to zero, amongst the trees.Close-hauled battles, a clustered fight,
One moment leading, then lost to the light.
JP’s bright start, a winning streak,
Four firsts claimed, the victory to speak.Rosco’s close chase, two wins he earned,
Fifteen points tallied, a second place earned.
Sneaky Geoff slipped into third with grace,
Consistency’s virtue, he held his place.Gadget’s bold stroke, a monopoly broke,
Race six he conquered, a winning spoke.
Geoff’s near triumph, a twist of fate,
A backward detour, JP’s gain was great.Next week’s small fleet, the Nationals’ call,
JP’s kind offer, to PRO for all.
Friendly hands will lighten the load,
On Puddleduck’s waters, where stories are sowed.Great videos everyone 👍
Kermit, here is a link to the Flite Test Forum page where they have plans for various planes including the 800mm Spitfire which can be built out of cardboard.
There is all sorts of specs for what motor, battery etc that can be used.
The Spitfire plans are at the FT Spitfire – Plans link.https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/scaled-ft-plans-available-by-request.8831/
Hi Bodge,
Great write up again. Thank you for that.Here are a few hat cam videos from today’s sailing:
Race 2
Race 4
There is a mother duck with a raft of ducklings surrounding her starting at 4 minutes 20 seconds.
The ducklings then form up in a straight line behind her and when I noticed this in the corner of my eye, I thought it was a SNAKE slithering along!!!Race 7
Race 8
Great video once again Kermit.
I like the “engine sounds” and slow motion footage.
Good capture of the fly past as well 👍
A few more hat cam videos.
Make sure to check out the mini tornado that went through at the 5 minute mark of video 4. That’s when the branches and tree debris blew into the dam!

Great write up today Shorty. Thanks for that 👍
The day was very challenging.
Here’s a couple of hat cam videos and a few more to come….
Race 1
Race 3
Thanks Bodge.
I wrote it up and then put it through AI as we discussed over coffee. It changed it so much, it didn’t sound like me so I clipped out a few of the AI bits and put it in mine. I feel like a bit of a hybrid now! 😜🤣
Great videos Predator and Kermit 👍
I’ve added some extra LED’s to the trailing edge and under tail of my Corsair to help out with flying in low light conditions.
Hopefully I will have some successful flights over Christmas and post some cool videos.
Check this out!
Another fabulous write up Shorty, thank you.
We had everything today in the strong gusty swirling wind. It definitely was a dice roll for the Duck Luck today. Fantastic news regarding nine different first placings out of 10 races!
I’ve tried a different resolution with my hat cam this time where I am able to turn on stabilisation. Let’s see how these ones turn out.Race 2
Race 3
