Aaron - Thank goodness for your Yak, hope you can still get down to Dubbo. How is your home and the rest of your property? If I lived closer I would be there to lend a hand. Fingers crossed for no more heavy rain.

[quote=Greg Bellert;621246]Just a quick note for Qld members - or anyone else who might be in the region.
Our annual air show at Hervey Bay is on May 2nd & 3rd 2009 (Labour Day weekend).
Its pretty much a "fly what you brung" event.
Gold wings required.

Greg - I hope to be there and will bring the RC Skydiver. His last flight landed in a lake and he has been in the recovery ward since, but he is keen to have another go at killing himself. Hope you are going well with the 260. Cheers.

Well the house and grandads shed is fine, but the fence all around our property has been destroyed as well as the water came up a foot inside the shed . Honestly, the amount of rain that we had is awsome. Our whole property was PRACTIALLY under water and is now destroyed . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

geez you would nearly buy the 39% extra 260 if the model thats holding the plane came with it even though it costs $1595US.
