A friend and I have just returned from a visit to Waterloo and 1st and 2nd world war sites. Great trip. We met up with a Welshman, (now residing in New York state). And a Scotsman. Who became friends on a previous trip pre covid.

This is us with rude beer.

The Welsh-American decided we would have a flying competition. When he got back home, he sent us all a foam plane. We have a deadline of 3/8 to take a video of us flying it.

The only rule we have is distance does not matter.

I have made a start and updated the decals and paintwork. Also, put a ballast screw in the front.



But I am open to any entertaining ideas to improve my presentation.

It is my next intention to video it flying.

After that, I have on order, some small rocket motors. And will try another, (possibly suicidal), flight.

Got a friend with a drone who might be able to video it in flight? Difficult, but not impossible to do.

Good idea. A granddaughter's husband has one and can use it. But trying to make that happen with his work and the weather, will be difficult.
