Just got back from a week in Brissy for work, As ya can see i called in to DA to say G'day and yes those pictures of the Decathlon don't show its real size. The wing has about a 3 foot wide at tip and root, when ya stand them up they look like big ol Malibu surf boards. I had heart flutters as we were putting it together thinking, how could i get it home and do i really need one The 2 Hundy would be perfect for it , no more servos needed then ya average 40% high power ones.
Could do some pretty serious glider towing with that sucker!. And no i didn't buy one. Trust me, i would like to

We are staying at the Big 4 caravan park.
Just had a great practice, Fletcher was allowed out of training today, and he ran me through some sequences, basic and sportsmans to keep me on my toes. Had six awesome flights and am getting happier with each flight.

HI All,

well Last comp for the West this year is Run and Done. Gotta say a great weekend was had by all, weather was fine, however the wind was a little challenging at times.

Smallish comp with only 13 competitors in all, what was extremely pleasing was 7 pilots in basic, with 3 being first timers. Everything ran pretty smoothly so we managed to get through 5 full rounds and an unknown, with a little time at the end of today to do some setup and coaching for those who wanted it.

Congrats go out to all who competed and thanks to Robert Richey of Smart Fly for the prizes.

Roll on 2010 and our first comp for the year at Capel.
