Midweek Fly-in
Posted on January 25, 2013 in Phil Jennings
After a few weeks of snow here in the UK I’ve been dying to get out flying but work and windy days have stopped this happening. Anyway with a good forecast for the Thursday a few fellow pilots decided to hold an impromptu fly in at a field only 15 miles from where I work.
So I agreed a 6am start allowing me to get away at 2 and hot foot it down the road to Crag’s field. There were already around eight pilots there and the field was covered in about 5 inches of snow, so I knew it would be fun. I managed several flights on my new Polini 200 Zenith, and i’m loving the power. Its a totally different beast though to my little Top 80 and my throttle control still needs more work! It also allowed me time to try out my new GoPro Hero 3 so I grabbed a few pics and videos of the day.
