From John, Five pilots arrived at Nattadon carpark circa 10:30. Conditions were dry, sunny and a tad chilly. The wind was brisk but NW and bang on the slope. Lift was plentiful as were the buzzards who curiously followed the models around the sky. Landing was exciting on the top of the hill but no… Read More »
I have posted a couple of pictures onto our home page from Chris who reported a quite pleasant day with gentle winds & a blue sky. BTW, this Saturday is looking like another potential day.
A flying report from John> Hi Chaps, Chris and I had a great session at BH today. The last mile to Black Hill on the back road was a little icy in parts but plenty of dry road to slow down on. However it was cold, something like -2 out of the wind, but this… Read More »
Another fine aircraft built by Joe waiting fine weather for a maiden. This Sunderland is from a Tony Nijhuis plan / kit. I would have thought the current weather would be ideal for a float plane.

Martin briefed… Read More »
Morning everyone, DGD went ahead yesterday in warm sunny conditions but flying was not brilliant. The clear blue sky made seeing models at height difficult, added to that the easterly breeze produced very little lift. Having said that, the small gathering enjoyed plenty of chat and of course the views were stunning. Check out our… Read More »
Hi all, to anyone wondering how things went at LH last Sunday. Here’s a quick resume’. Steve Thorne and Graham arrived bright and early with their tugs and towing commenced circa 10:30 in a not too pleasant easterly and fairly brisk to boot. My first tow with the Solution was exceedingly hairy as the dolly… Read More »
John sent me this link to Google Drive of his K7 Maiden and a cracking piece of footage it is too. Well done to all involved. John Harvey K7 Maiden Flight
