i flew for about 5 seconds

 

I took off, my son ran in the way as i started to take off, avoided him but crashed.

 

Luckily it was only my micro p51, damaged the tail.

 

Dont take kids with you flying!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rain held of Sunday so a few of us hit the coast. Wind was in the perfect direction if not a bit to strong for the glider but it went up anyway Fun trying to combat with the wildthing with the glider. Going to have to order me one of those

looks like a nice spot for soaring

[RCMonkee]

Soaring again at Whitsands. Having fun flying with the SAS Wildthings and decided to get a little bit too involved! Took an hour or more till i found the gopro in the grass! God fun though.

What's the score with flying up yelverton then guys, me an the kids usually take our cars up there, do you fly there often or get any bother?

I usually go over the other side as its a bit quieter.

[RCMonkee]

 Hey, we normaly go over the otherside, away from the main road. Never had a problem flying at that spot. Few of us have started meeting sunday afternoons if the weather is ok.

[jjh23]

It's probably you guys I've heard racing around a few times we been there then, quite often hear nitro cars going but never see any

[RCMonkee]

Some awesome weather this weekend

Got some flying in on the moor and the coast.

They are awesome pictures mate, was down the island last weekend :-)

I would be paranoid about losing me glider in the water though.

Repaired the wing best i can and decided to cover it as i have several rolls of wing tape.  Beauty day for it anyway

[RCMonkee]

Got a little wing from ebay a couple of weeks ago. Put new servos in it and gave it a new covering. Waiting for its first outing. Should be good for the summer

 

[RCMonkee]

So after finally receiving and building the Wildthing the wind picked up and was able to take it out.

This thing is really strong. Infact i was so confident in that it wouldnt break i put my Turnigy 9XR around my 11year old daughters neck and let they her have a go. She's never even flown anything before! To be honest she didnt do bad. It did take a few eye watering beatings on the harsh Granite rocks of Dartmoor but it still looks great. These things are awesome.

 

Some video of the afternoons flying....

 

 

[J.K]

Fantastic pics and vids, I'm itching to take mine out now the weather's improving!

[RCMonkee]

Cheers James. With the weather improving and the evenings lighter should get alot more opportunities to go flying

 

Had some fun between races with the AXN the other evening.

 

[RCMonkee]

Wind was gusting nearly 50mph last night! Had some fun with the combat gliders. No video but this was from the weekend, 25mph winds and sunshine, fun afternoon

 

[sean-vrs]

nice videos.

[RCMonkee]

Gave the new glider its first outing at the weekend. Flew great No foam here but at Foamie prices
 

 

[RCMonkee]

Bit too windy but took the little wing out anyway......

 

[RCMonkee]

The Speedo 2 on the slope. Great little glider for

[RCMonkee]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[RCMonkee]

Me and a buddy got the little speedo's out at sunset. Wish all days ended like this!

 

 

 

[RCMonkee]

After Racing at South West Indoor for about a year and flying in the awesome 'back yard' i always wanted to fly under the Viaduct. Flown over it many times but never under. It looks further than you think and flying LOS the plane gets fairly small.

Well last week i finally did it. 3 or 4 times  Got one on film......

Just watched all of those video's over the past 24hrs RCMonkee. Love the look of the speedo II. Where do you get it from?

 

P.S. looks like you're near some fantastic places to fly.

Cheers   I have Dartmoor one side and the south coast the other. Got the speedo online along with a mate.

we got them from www.slopeside.co.uk but it looks like they have stopped trading. They only had a few left when we got ours and i think they where the only importer of them unfortunetly.

I dont have a number but he is on several forums. Rob Thompson.....  You might be lucky.
