very nice mate . i think we should stick to the bushcare groups methods of controlling the regrowth in the swamp though , might get a few complaints if we do it the stuka's way

yep ill take the p51 up with you two.

with my p51 i added a rudder mix for the more scale like flying . definitely fly's better this way , but must remember to turn the mix off during rolling maneuvers .

was an awesome Day . Really disappointed with CLAUDIOS TIMES ! where did they come from ???? I enjoyed the day immensely . Rocket flew in EF1 very well on the day as a 1st EF1 attempt also . Ja...
