FOURTEEN PILOTS TURNED OUT TODAY TO EVALUATE THE PROS & CONS OF FLYING FROM THE TOP END OF THE RUNWAY

The wind direction was from the south-east, directly along the runway, which necessitated planes landing towards the Pitts.  Although not ideal, everyone managed their take offs and touch downs very successfully.  No problem with the sun in your eyes when flying from this temporary flight line.

PLEASE NOTE 

AFTER EVALUATING THIS MOVE IT WAS DECIDED NOT TO FLY FROM THIS LOCATION

Later the 'Prof' took the opportunity and maidened his new 'Hammerhead'.   Built from a prototype kit by 'MADDOG DESIGNS',  Peter was delighted with the way the model handled.  The 'Hammerhead' spans 63" and is powered by an ASP .91 2-stroke glow motor.  Being sturdily constructed the model's not the lightest but this should be an advantage when conditions are blustry, which quite often, they are.

A good day's flying ended at about 3.30pm.

'Happy landings'
