For Mr Gerald and Mr Mike,
The boomerang now has flaperons that now flap.
The answer was to follow the google discovered instructions to a point, but instead of setting channel 1 to 0 for each position it needs to be o%, +50%, +100% and channel 6 has to be 0%, -50%, -100%
It will be interesting to see whether the flaps slow it down much for landings.
Well Monsieur Frog,
You will appreciate I am an experienced commentator.

Excellent around the field coverage Kermit. Good to see everyone gets a staring role in your productions 👏
Amazing flying – extraordinary control.
A trip to the USA should be great and to be independent with an RV sounds like a great idea.
Two more years without your presence will be hard, but we’re just going to have to get used to it.😉
Looking good. With the weather the way it is you will have time to finish it for the next fly day.
I have been working on the Boomerang – made the ailerons work in the right direction – dismantled and soaked the carburettor in methanol overnight – adjusting the run and idle mixtures.
But the receiver started to turn on and off. It seems to be the switch, but now it’s out of the plane it’s working ok – more serious testing and maybe a replacement 🤔
Back to house maintenance now for a while 😁
Well Monsieur Perfect la Frog you managed to capture the spirit of the day all while I was doing roof work. The underside view of Andrew’s car will surely go viral. And will Hoppy ever travel south of the equator again?
Wow that sounds like a little bit of wind. You might need lead boots to stop you being blown away 🤞
Stay safe 🙏
Well now that Monsieur Frog has halted the rumour mill I can tell you all the we’re in Adelaide helping our son get the house ready to rent/sell because our favourite -in-law has a new job helping to sort out the Brisbane Forensic Laboratory.
It’s raining cats and dogs here so maybe you can expect to get a bit over there.
Fly safe fellas
I am impressed with the bravery of you all flying in so much wind.
My absence wasn’t due to a lack of brownie points nor to being detained in hospital.
I was required to help the Virgin pilots fly in the windy conditions. There was only one runway open at Melbourne airport because of the strong northerly and the Adelaide landing was a full on cross wind landing. I had to use all my telepathic skills to keep the plane on the runway, but we got there OK.
I don’t know when we will be coming back as we don’t have a booking, but when needed we will return home 😊
