Hi all
New on here but certainly not used to forums, mostly technical, Models of all sorts ( I fly Control line aerobatics and combat as well as a bit R/C) Gardening, Brewing, Steam engines etc etc.
Just a quick
post to introduce myself (As suggested by Roger in France"
)
I am 56 (feel around 26 in the head) and live in Chester in the N.W. UK
A couple of years ago I sold my Prestwich CMB67 powered Multi racer ( I won a 1st at a comp in the N.W. UK with that setup in 2005
) It went because I was just not using it much at the time and I needed money for a new engine for my VW Camper.
Now the wind (and rain) in the UK during the last few years has been so bad that I VERY OFTEN cannot go flying.
So, I bought another boat
- Now at least I can indulge my interest in engines even when it is blowing a gale.
It is a very nice, aprox 33 inch Fairey of some type with a rather OTT Irvine 61 in it.
Have only had it out twice (after spending some time familiarising myself with the set-up and making some slight mods to suit my tastes in linkages etc).
Seems ace so far
Pics to follow when I get home (where my camera is)
Hoping someone my know what Fairey it is, as it ain't quite the same as anything I have yet found on the web.
Byeeee for now
