Feral , did I here that you were going to use a new air frame this year ? . I flew with Excelpoint & Towball today and man I am going back to sportsman . That Giles is one impressive bird & the way excelpoint was poking it around the sky none of us are going to stand a chance .
Good to see that most of the boys seem to have made the move with out any loss or injury , was a bit of a shock at the time but with some therapy I should be able to cope with the change .
I do however have a problem with the i pod thing , @ 38 years of age I was not going to let this peice of technology into my life . I managed to fully avoid the video programming for the last 20 years and now I'm told pod cast is something I NEED to know . Well call me a luddite but if I NEED to listen to something I''ll use my good old 8 track .
Just joking its probly the kick in the head I needed to bring me up to speed .

If the design works well, I'll do a 150 size one.
Looks good bob.!! Will be another work of art I'm sure. Please keep us updated..
