Hey Stu, went to Melton today...had to pick Towball up as his car was with his boss....his plane dominated the trailer....not much room for anything else.

Flew the Yak today...she didnt let me down...even in the high wind....

BadKarma was back on the seen with his Extra 2.3 and Paul brought down one of those U can do thing...( man they have fat large wings). It was like a big kite.

Wind was about 20+ knotts....but with only 4 of us we all had 5 flights or so.

Still waiting for information on the parts for my Edge...getting anxious now...I still have not date for arrival of the replacement parts so it looks like it is the Yak for Monarto regardless if I want to or not. Hopefully the Edge will be back for Tas.

Anyway I have my old Yak stil..the Yak looks like a "shocky" next to the 3.1 Extra of Towballs.

It must be the last "glow"plane in IMAC....but she still flys alright.

Wish my airfield was 15-32 mins away. ........I have to travel over an hour each time.

Same here, not even one flight of anything since Connie,5/6 weeks ago, not good. Any way its not going to hurt to have bit of a break, the upside a lot of overtime at work help pay for my addiction.

Its the new H9 / Carden yak 54 50-60 cc. Not much of the build seems to be by H9. Got a DA 50 and can etc coming from Howie monday. Decided to tint the canopy to to give it a bit nicer shape. Hopfully i get it dialed in enough to try the unlimited on the Monarto comp 18th 19th.
