Well, what a top day for flying! Sunny and warmed up towards lunchtime with hardly any wind. A reasonable number of members turned up to enjoy the ideal conditions. A special honourable mention to Gazza for his dogfighting skills. I decided to tow a colourful streamer behind my Balsa Trainer for fun (and to see who I could provoke into battle). Well, within a few seconds of spotting the Bandit, Gazzahad scrambled his fighter (Trojan), was airbourne and closing in for the kill. Came in from behind and below where he couldn't be spotted by his prey. When he was just behind and still below, a quick pull on up elevator and he was up and sliced through the 5 metres of streamer leaving barely 2 metres behind (& at the first attempt!).
