We went down for an explore and an excuse to visit bunnings onthe way home .
Here's some photos. Unfortunately, although there's plenty of room for the bipe, I never did get around to putting the strut in place. I had it up real high and let Oscar have the controls with the warning that he needed to do tiny movements. Two corners later, the wing collapsed and we stood back to watch it plummet to the ground (luckily not the pond!).
If you're hoping for some fathers day flying maybe you'd better find another field.
