Thanks to John for organising a ‘back to our roots’ slope soaring day at Black Hill last Sunday. There was a good turn out and we can see from the photos and video clips posted over on our Facebook group that members had a great time and demonstrated their skills of soaring without any power… Read More: Soaring at Black Hill »
An an update on Johns 1/3 scale K7 build: Progess on the K7 has been up and down yet quite a few more hours put in. The fin is virtually complete and covered in .4 ply and built integral to the fuz so nice and strong. I have also finished the rudder which will be… Read More: John’s K7 build update »

Just a few flights of last winter’s KA7 scale glider build by John and the plans for a 5mtr plus K7 have been bought. I hope you are not wishing the summer away too soon John.

To kick this off the lead clip is of Roger’s FMS Pitts S2 taking off at L.H today; as… Read More: Home Page lead picture »
