Let the Sun Shine In.
I will start to clean and polish all my boats next week in time for Saturday.
Just in case I forget. Thank you all you hard working chaps for putting this event on for us. Well done.

Andy, this is not the kind of thing Mayhem is expecting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW3avTK9dWo

A nice quiet chug round the small lake as planned  :-))
As Bill says, there's always Llanberis for a BIG thrash  %)

If you really want to run the multi on the small lake, increase the throw on your rudder to about 45 deg then make sure you don't go over half throttle (and remember to decrease it before you try to race).

GOOD NEWS - OMRA (me) has a gazebo  :-))  It's almost new but I've never tried it out.  It has millions of poles and sides (if we want to practice hang-gliding)  %)  
I'll bring it on Saturday morning, then you can all help me put it up (reduced rent for helpers  {-) )

Hi Danny I'm going to bring my old laptop to play some OMRA DVD's on . I can run it from my 12volt 240 inverter and car battery. I also have some OMRA handouts to give out if people want to contact OMRA. + some A4 photos. Do you have on DVD your boat cam video of the Kingsbury crunch? Bring it along if you have.
Seems like we will have a choice of where to park our boats now.  As for the Gazebo erection! count me in, I love a good puzzle First thing in the morning.

That's about what I'm running anyway, spent a hell of a long time at the flying field teaching myself to make tiny stick movements so I can have plenty of control surface movement in reserve for an emergency. Have got it down to around 2mm movement in any direction, with perfect hold. Well I was pleased with myself...

Bring on very early next friday!!!

Bill is surprisingly active first thing in the morning, at Llanberis he practically jumped out of the tent...

Ah Ghost - gazebo instructions - "put pointy bit towards sky" O0
Well, it was only £20 second hand.

Bill, I'll fish out the Kingsbury crash and the Torquay chase boat videos.
