i have to say it was an awsome day today.

Apart from the strong gusty wind there was great scale machines flying around in all kinds of setups, Turbine,Gasser,Nitro electric,

I would have to say the highlight was Redmachine's Lama with Jako turbine, awsome machine, there was 2 great Cobra's flown by Dave Hollins and Gary Wilsons - one with the mouth! the cobra not the pilot!

Along with a really nice scaled up Lynx.

Plus a plethera of Hughes 500 and it was nice to see some of the TT scale machines,using a raptor 50 setup...

There was some really nice machines, i even saw a couple of chinooks all ready to go, lovely machines...

It was nice and real friendly atmosphere where people were willing to help and offer tips and very willing to let you photo their handy work..

it was also nice to put some faces to names on here!!

Great organised event, credit to the organisers John and Dave and others.

I thought it was a great day, think I might show my face tomorrow also.
Good to me you Matt and Paul999, nice to begin to put faces to names of people I speak to on here.
I agree, higlight had to be Ian's beautiful Lama, what a gorgeous machine. I'm now left wondering how I tell the wife that I have already chosen what my third, large scale heli will be
