Here is a leisurely bumble down the Russell Fjord in my Eastbourne Monoplane:-

I've just left the bay and here is the pod of Whales that can be seen near the cruise ship waiting anchorage.

Really low flying over the water is a bit hazardous and this is about as low as I dare.

The full sequence can be seen by clicking this address:-

Yes Dave it was a bit of an "Arrival"...This machine is a bit long on the ground run and I'm a bit nervous of using brakes...I'm not sure that it really has brakes. Anyway I certainly charged through one of those waiting Cessnas (cut that bit out of the video :$ ).

tame in comparison to the arrivals in the Bandit Peter, speaking of the inverted type - I mean..

:lol: :lol:

I pulled the FSX version and agree.. it is a bit long on the ground ;) I doubt very much the real one had brakes but you can use the ones on the model reasonably heavy without fear of it nosing over ;) A little disappointed it wasn't a bit more manoeuvreable at low speed (as is the Bleriot XI.. the real one) but it's a nice little model with great detail ;) We have a 'running' Demoiselle at Brooklands and I stumbled over a model at Simviation a couple of days ago. Must nip back and see if I can find it :)
