Test Fly

At last the day of reckoning, the inaugural test flight at The Wetlands UK, some 10 flights later and the model seems like it has a lot of potential.
Although this the first model is heavy it showed great promise in the light conditions, we are now back on track with this project after a delay. The next one will be in the moulds by the end of next week, so keep watching this space.

See you at the Nationals?
