Action on the field 15 October 2006

Tim is starting to take up weight lifting but his Glens Cap 232 (30% scale) flies well on a Zenoah 62cc petrol with smoke system .
Kyosho Oxalys with caniliser fitted, ready to practice the FAI F07 schedule.  Proved to be capable on a YS 63 fourstroke.
Peter is such an important part of the day, delivering beverages to the pits, and it is usually service with a smile but I caught him unawares here, sorry Peter.
Paul and Tim (Cessna 185 – 108″ wingspan with Fuji 50cc petrol) discussing the take off procedure,
as the action shot above shows they decided on a curling action release.
  • Kevin and his twin had a successful day, although the first photograph looks as though it has had a really bad landing
    but this is before it was assembled ……… and on final approach, Runway 06:  Photo Peter Booth.
Peter solved the exhaust problem with a neat extension to his OS 91 and illustrates some good cooling vents, so important for a reliable and long lived engine, and without spoiling the outline of the cowling. 
Bob is checking the tappets after fitting new parts to his OS 91  engine.
