Another little project

I thought that it was about time that I showed you another littel project thast I'm involved with.  I'm not making any promises on the completion date but its a bit of fun!

  Not a race model but a 60" model.  Made in europe under license of the original designer the hope is that the Air One Mini will be out later this year.

 It's a step that the Willow F3F isn't the only model I'm involved with and the plan is that the Air One mini will come with a few ideas and developements.

  Watch this space!

Top 5 to go through to the champion of champions race!  I will aim to put a similar listing up for each league as they go into their final rounds and blank out those pilots qualifying elsewhere to tryand make it clear what everyone has to do to qualify.

winter league trophy sorted

    The Winter league trophy is on it's way!  I'll work on the plynth before the end of March but I like it!

 I i thought that as the cold winf bites it's good to know what you're competing for.

Winter league final

This year will see the winter league final move from it's usual spot of the last weekend in March to the 23rd and 24th of March.  This avoids clashing with Easter and I hope make it easier for people to make the race.

A christmas blow out

May be it was the mulled wine talking or my sterling duty at the in-laws yesterday but and un-expected off of 'why don't you go flying' had me away and heading for the nearest slope before you could say Rudolf.

45mph winds and sunshine almost made me forget that I was ankle deep in mud but the Willow had 1kg of lead bolted in and she was away!  Necer mind F3F or any other practise, today was a day to enjoy the air and flying.  Launching without hilding your transmitter means you have to trust your model- I do!

  I was joined by Phil taylor and a guy dressed in red who'd done a lot of flying recently- I think we've discovered John Treble's secret!  John had a session with no damage to his Willow and looked to be really enjoying the flying.

 A good session's flying and great to just enjoy the energy and being out!

carefull now!

A new Willow record!

  Just when I thought that willows in the top 2 places in the southern Winter league was a good performance the Bolton Lightening Frank tells me that in some timed F3F practise this weekend the His Willow stopped the clock at 33.28!

  I'm not sure if that counts as an official PB but it's spured me to put up a list of Willow PBs- if You're a Willow pilot with a race PB let me know and I'll start a Willow long room of fame!
