Mr Wyss has done it again.

Scratch built...6 motors...this could set a new points record. Here's the article, and video: [HEXACOPTER]

 

New Parking for Aircraft at Belrose

Pit space is getting scarce during events and we decided to look for additional space. The new area is just along the left side of the field.

We do not advise to start the engines up there but it is ideal for parking any aircraft. Clive demonstrates how to do that properly....

You may recognize the biplane from the video on this page. The flight on Saturday was the second maiden (after rebuilding) and lastet about 2 seconds longer than the first maiden flight. I'm not sure if we can call that a success story but in any case, there will be another maiden in a weeks time....

Folks

Thanks Roger!
