Sweet trailer man

I love the futaba colour sceme on the comp-arf extra's too. Thinking about a 2.3m in the same sceme.

What an awesome days flying, perfect weather all day, and QLD now has its own 1 wing flying superstar, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you Aaron -Bill Tony Frazer Hemple Driver Briggs-Garle! I will say that I have never seen anyone so calmly fly a plane in circles whilst gathering advice on WTF to do next, and then land the plane with the only additional damage being a fractured propellor, cracked canopy and a bent undercarriage. Sad to see, but very pretty to watch! Well done Bones.

Onya Bones, did anyone happen to have a video camera handy??

We had a reasonable days flying here in on our newly rolled private strip at Yenda. About time too after about 4 weeks of very little flying.

Helped Scott maiden his new 2.6 Yak with a custom paint scheme. Its green, purple, brown and grey all at once!!
All went nice and smoothly for him, and the shakes were gone by the third flight!

I gave the new aluminium reed carrier a go on my 157 and thought it was pretty good, the motor dosnt load up at all anymore once it is warm even though it was probably 1/8 of a turn rich on both needles.

Also had a crack at flying with my new tray, I wasnt game enough to use the baseball bats today but flew with the normal sticks wound out a bit.
Needed to halve the expo on all surfaces to get some feel back.

By the 3rd flight is started to feel natural....sort of!
