This is the third 'Vanquish' to arrive at the flying field.
Electric power - 15 minutes with a 4 cell pack
and unlimited vertical performance.
A beautiful model for precision aerobatic flying. |
Lots of T-Rex bling; two 450's, a 500 and a 600. |

And two more 600's ready for a few more flights. |
This Tiger Moth has been converted from IC to electric

A low pass (inverted just didn't look right). |
Little and large: OS55 power on the left, electric power
on the right. Both flew together through the afternoon. |

Great flying weather recently and longer bright evenings.
The L39 flew at the field on Wednesday evening; the

The sound of the turbine attracted a few extra onlookers
and the addictive smell of jet fuel had everyone
flying till dusk.
