It is about time I bought us up to date a bit.
28 October, Brian readies the Walrus for heavy certification.
Flying nicely, but underpowered a little, needs some weight removed from the nose.
This made the model very touchy on its second flight, this is the bounce.
Note windscreen and a port wheel departing the aircraft.
Some of the wing wires gave way.
Pilot rode it all the way down and escaped with a few scratches.
29 October a group tour of "The Old Aeroplane Company" at TYabb Airfield had been organised and nine of us rolled up for the tour.
Here are just a few photos, I will put together a presentation soon.
As we arrived the P40 and the P51 were starting up to go flying.
The noise of those Merlins on takeoff was just ear splitting, FABULOUS!
The F4u Corsair was gorgeous.
The guys check out the P51.
This is DIY ultra-light Spitfire kit, Graeme is thinking "I could get a receiver in that awesome model, our runway is long enough."
