Hi all. With the rain gone, the flyers were back in action at the JW field. Today's lineup : Kokelim 's cool pair of gliders ( both were floating high up so well on such a windy day), Fuse's powerful Multiplex Space scooter ( only plane that cut thru the strong wind effortlessly and flew inverted too ), Loyn's home made shooting star with alierons and elevator control, able to do loops and his J3 club fitted with aerial camera ( but damn ! the video set up was not working !! ), Alvin's GWS SS also battled the wind and survived 2 hard landings and Spidey came with his GWS Formosa but did not fly because the wind was too strong. I braved my 20" terserex profile glider and the wind carried it away to the other side of the field - lost complete control !! The micro dragonfly plane managed a bit better and finally tested the depron tomahawk piper again - this time with some alieron on the right wing ( as suggested by Astro and Mechplas and it went up in the air !! . Managed to fly it briefly for a while before the wind forced it down. That about wrapped up the funfly this morning.

I was very impressed with sci-fighter micro, which was battling with the wind.
