Sunday

Last Sunday Rod turned up with his lovely ARF F4U Corsair.
Up the front is this big 75cc Saito FA 450 R3  Radial Engine.

Two out of three cylinders showing.
 He got out this massive two handed starter he made up and the sound of this motor is FABULOUS!


 He then committed aviation and very nice it was too. Have a look at the video


Back on the flight line.

A really nice looking model, he put in over 100 hours on it he said.
I reckon it was time very well spent.

PATTERN WEEKEND


The weather was fine to hot, wind benevolent for a change, insofar as direction was concerned at least.

  
A great weekend; everyone commented about the excellent catering, sincere thanks go to Sandra, Lynette, Anne and Graeme for top work in the canteen. Most excellent awards also to Dave F and team for the grounds and infrastructure, supporting the event.

All eyes skyward
Unusual; contra-rotating propellers, may become commonplace.
Fully self-contained charging system.


Well done Ben! F3A class, Third Place, extremely proud Mum and Dad were present with congratulations, along with many BADMAC members.

Tight Fit

Graeme, Lin and Brian checking out the Stinson Lin has just completed.



It only just fits into the trailer, we are looking forward to Heavy Certification so we can see it fly.
