    Very impressive Mr Ron. It should fly just like the first one 🤞🙏

    Looking spectacular!

    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 😊

    Well that reply was meant for Le Frog. Mike’s video is great too – may the competition continue 👏

    Great video, you are becoming quite a Director! The cruel slowmos are a bit hard on old flyers 😢

    in reply to: A perfect Thursday Fly Day #13798

    Struth what a huge machine!😲

    in reply to: A perfect Thursday Fly Day #13794

    Can’t wait for more flying footage. Three weeks of sailing etc must be perfect 😊

    in reply to: A perfect Thursday Fly Day #13793

    Excellent videos yet again 👏 I liked Sinkers engine sound for the beer based spitfire!
