Nice motor Blunderbum....the "E"man was trying to tempt me with a 210 3W Gorilla....but I dont have a plane for it......fortunately I didnt have the money either at the time otherwise I would have been very tempted......
My 106 has done 3 years with Towball and a half year with me and still runs strong...so I cant see you being dissapointed....

Doc I will see about Sportsman at the end of the year if I dont get pushed before hand....havent got any promo points so I reckon stay where I am until then....after flying against Alex at last comp I realise I have some things yet to be perfected....wish I could fly half as good as him....great to see such talent....reckon he will give some of the other younger guys a run for their money in the higher classes real soon.

In the meantime I will just try hard not to "wing walk" on my plane again....can aford to replace another elevator set...lol...

Question in regards to Freight,
I have my canopy of my 3m at Bendigo at the moment getting repaired, it will be finsihed this weekend..
Should I trust a freight company in returning it back to me understanding the cost involved??
If anyone is travelling from Bendigo to Central NSW in the next week or so PM me if you would be interested in carrying it along for the ride!
Cheers
Kia

Almost finished getting my 2.3 re trimmed after it's spruce up.
Flying nice & straight this morning after some elevator linkage re jigging/adjustments.

Packed up early at the field this morning after almost eradicating an elderly pilot on the strip with his trainer.
He said he was taking off & i said to him i would land straight after he took off. 2 other planes in the sky apart from me so a little noisy. I hear him call taking off & rev up to take off so i've called landing, on approach coming in still about 6ft from the ground when here he is in the middle of the strip bent down turning his plane around.
First instinct is to grab a heap of up & slam the throttle which i did.
Had he not been bent over, i would have rudder slapped him as it pitched skyward.
He apologized profusely.

You have been warned about flying on a Wednesday, I think anything goes midweek.

Wednesday is pensioners day at our club as well, great day to leave the model at home and just turn up with the video camera!
