Ғылым және технология
The club’s Free Flight Scale comp saw 3 classes run, with a Flying Only and Kit Scale Precision CD’d by Bill Dennis and a new event Kit Scale Duration CD’d by Andy Blackburn

The models are judged on flying realism by the flight judge Bill Dennis with scores given for various stages of the flight - climb out, cruise, transition from power to glide and things like that.

Great fun!
I always enjoyed for your videos ❤
Some lovely models and flights 👍🙂
Nice weather and kk long grass
beautiful outdoor flying weather!
Some BEAUTIFUL Models. I cannot even pick a favorite even though I love the rubber powered, the gas models were just as nice and who does not LOVE the smell of model airplane fuel.
2:35 is perfectly scale for a Tiger Moth going about 175mph lol.
Great video, what was the red & silver parasol?

Thanks very much. That was Mike Stuart's rubber powered Consolidated Fleetster
Was that your Hawker Tomtit performing very nicely just before the Tiger Moth?

@@squirrelnet28, ah yes, now I look more closely, I can see it’s an SE5a. How’s the Tomtit trimming going? It’s a lovely model.

It didn't do too bad in the FF Nats but it's still a bit inconsistent ,the slightest small change to the rudder sets it off on a wayward course.

@@squirrelnet28, I’m guessing that it has a scale rudder and scale dihedral so it’ll be touchy. Stick with it though, I’m sure you’ll get it dialled in with time. It’s definitely my favourite sort of aeroplane, a golden era biplane with tons of character and very rarely modelled.
