4 August 2006 - Smithwood Common trials
A last minute telephone call from John and we were off to Smithwood Common to meet him with Martins model under his arm.  We did not need a second call.
John had a model he had built about 30 years ago he said but had only recently added an electric motor.  He wanted to do some trials in a large area.  The grass had been mowed but not too short so it provided better flying conditions than our last visit.

The trials went well and John now knows exactly what he needs to do before we meet for the next flight  Martin had some magnificent flights with his plane.  No problems this time, except that the sun set too fast
