Radio check and top 2 Wyvern

 

  First of all, a warning for other Jeti users.  As I launched for a round 1 re-flight my transmitter shut down and Wyvern sailed off into the hot sky.  A radio that had over 70% when I left home 2 days before I can only assume the battery doesn’t like the heat!  Make sure you check yours during the latest heat wave.

  Remarkably the Wyvern took a wide ark and hit the slope to the East.  When Les and I found the model it was completely undamaged- tested for toughness!

 After an evening’s charging I flew the same Wyvern through the competition.

  It was fantastic to see Deiter and Peter flying their Calderas to fly the flag for sub 3m models as they dominated the podium.

  As the season gets to half way it’s been so great to see Greg rip his Saker and Wyvern models around the sky and JP’s Wyvern occupying second place in he league.
