Though Id share my latest addition to the fleet
Its a Seagull Cap 232 which replaces the ill fated zlin
Motor is the 17cc petrol which suvived the zlins 3 months in the field pity the airframe didnt fair so well
Shes 66in span and weighs about 9lbs
Not flown yet, I will be waiting for perfect conditions
Motors been run and all the contol surfaces set
Hope this one last longer
Cheers

Ahh.. the 232 surfaces for the first time
It looks fast stationary so I dread to think how fast it is in the air
Watched a few vids of it and I know it IS fast
Looks great mate.. I bet you can't wait to fly it

Holy smokes Dale. Thats a biggun!
Loving the look of that. I bet she can flip and roll like theres no tomorrow.
I've just returned from a week in sunny Newquay with the family.
Had some quality flight time with the P51. Sadly I couldn't fit the Radian in the car with all our kit.
Anyway, had a nice little sortie with the Radian in the local park today. Just uploading it to YT as I type.
Its the first outing in this location and a hazardous and difficult landing due to trees and a variety of park furniture.
I'll post it later on.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

Here you go guys. Enjoy.
I'm very pleased with this one.
Video from today. A short aerial over my local park.
Flew almost vertical with full power for around 30 seconds.
Then cut power and performed a 'dead-stick' landing in the park.
Apologies for the shouting at the end. A mad dog was running straight towards the aircraft.

Does this mean they will prosecute him for reckless endangerment?

Cheers George -
With this new Premier, anything bad is likely - but I mustn't talk politics here ...
Looks like they are using Joomla or some other CMS, and the person typing would not have the option of removing this month's marketing spiel...

Which reminded me of this classic bit of Policespeak from the Beeb (I actually posted the link to this in the VF Forum SIX years ago!)
