Hi All,

The usual pre-nats trimming opportunity has been arranged for Sunday 9 April 2017 at Bushfield Leisure Centre, Peterborough, 10am to 5pm.

This is in addition to the earlier chance to do this at the Indoor R/C Scale Nats at RAF Shawbury on Sunday 26 March 2017. John will be providing more info on this imminently.

Entry will be a flat rate £15, with £5 for spectators. Payment to be made on the day.

I took a few videos at this meeting. I hope people don't mind me posting vids of trimming flights, which don't always go to plan! But they often don't go to plan in Comps do they! I won't post vids of models just trundling round on the floor, or going straight into the opposite wall instead of turning .

First, Chris Strachans CO2 powered Piper Cub.
