January 2010

Thanks to Ian for supplying these photos, obviously a 4x4 is the way to go if you want to fly in this weather.

The sunset photos are particularly good, let's hope for loads of contributions this year from all members.

Latest 2009

Although it's been a while since the last update here, the heli flyers have continued unabated, just not many photos have been taken. So here are one or two pics that Barney supplied.

Heli flying continues unabated by weather, not many recent picks but a couple of fuzzy shots of Ian's night flying setup.

The camera could not cope with the low light handheld, we will try again though.

"What happens if I press here?" asks Barney

"I just need to make it a bit longer, you hold and I'll pull"

Barney give Ian's heli a pat for behaving itself.

As always plenty of activity at Knockbain from the Heli Pilots. Here are a few photos of the goings on from the Rotary Rascals!

Ian does a few minor adjustments before a flight.

Do you want to know where I'm going to stick this!

Yes folks Barney does make the occasional mistake, I think the term is "Too low enough" !

Would you buy a used car from this pair?

Fraser enjoying a flight before his tail drive belt decided to exit the boom.

Cliff Has a flight with his lovely scale Heli.

Barney is determined to cut the grass before it needs it!

18th February 2007

Heli Flying continues unabated and with more members joining all the time.

How low can Barney go?

I think that's low enough, no need to cut the grass just yet!

Again weekly heli flying continues with the usual suspects. A few pics taken by a visitor.

Ian once again, trousers about to fall down because his wife didn't pull his braces up before she sent him out!
