New year and a new toy

Flying and building has been very limited but here's a little beauty heading my way right now.

Yep we can do curves and more complex designs now. But more importantly I'm just looking forward to getting out and enjoying the model.

Winter model direct orders being taken

The exchange rate changes haven’t helped us over the last few months!

I love flying my Merlins as my fun sports model.  Thank too keeping everything as close as possible we’ve kept the F3F model price at £500.  I’m confident that there’s no other model out there in it’s class at this price.

Please contact me for details of the models and build service.

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get away with the new slope puppy to some races this winter to race the Merlin and the main racer Willow SOR!

Back in the air!

  It’s been a long old time since I’ve updated here, mainly because it’s been a long time since there’s been any flying to talk about.

  After a mad old summer the new slope dog and I have been out for some relaxing flying.  After an eternity of not flying the timeless Compact seemed to most obvious model to take.  It’s not until you don’t get to do something that you appreciate it.

  At home the new SOR build has had a real boost.  The SOR is going together smoothly and quickly, the wings and tail have slotted onto the fuselage without any fuss.

  I can’t wait to get some more air time with the SOR as the weather turns colder.  

Sunshine and why SOR?

  This weekend’s sunshine gave me a chance to take out Merlin and Willow SOR out and more fun as my lad decided to come out in the sunshine.  The day didn’t’ have the biggest winds or strongest lift in the world but with the sun on our backs it was fun.

  Although different both models had the characteristics that I love in models, excellent performance but very easy to fly.  I knew there would be enough energy to convert to fun and the models would be agile enough to deliver without me worrying about flicking, unexpected stalling or other ways that models can bite you.

  Although my racing is very very limited these days and my turn style and approach probably costs me several places the Willow’s design makes it so easy to turn up and race and have fun.  The SOR was light heartedly named SOR as it makes flying so easy ‘You could hit that shot with a Stick Of Rhubarb”.

  Willows were developed to be fun and bring the cost of F3F style models down, as long as I think that we’re doing this they’re making my happy.

Free Model if you tell me what SOR means

After maddening the SOR yesterday I can't describe bow pleased I am with the model.  A fantastic step up in performance and 'slipperyness' from just about anything I've flown- never mind the Willows.

  As I keep getting asked what SOR stands for I've decided to offer a model for free to anyone who orders a willow/merlin and tells me what SOR means!

just waiting for the weather

Nose balance fitted just the controls to programme tonight and wait for the good weather!

 Set up an build was just as easy as the other willows so ready to go!

Willow SOR under test

Never mind my delays and lack of flying time mark Treble has finished his Willow SOR already and he's flown it.

  Initial impressions from Mark are very positive!
