South Point Races

[Pasty]

Cool - wish I lived down your way to join in. Billy no mates up here.

BTW, I had teh larger version of that plane. Flew like a dream one set up correctly. Probably the nicest plane I've flow. The foam was crap though. Snapped if looked at it. I think yours are EPO though

We,re only a few hours drive away shik, get Simon to come too and share the cost.

We'll Polly have 2 to 3 main race weekends through the better months of the year, surely you can manage that?

Yes indeed! I used to race model boats and it all got a bit too serious  :o

I am coming down that way soon.. Hope I can see some of the action. Unfortunately wont have much free time but planning to bring my plane in remote chance I get a break !

nice one splashy... thanks!

I took the plunge and ordered the same 5.8 gear as Gordon but from CrazyShoppingCart.com for £22 all in.... not bad!

Bought the same, sorted!

[Pasty]

wow, just checked HK and my order is ready for dispatch... so with EMS I may get it by the end of the week or early next week... have HK pulled there finger out? Last time I ordered from them I think it was about a week before they started processing my order.

The vtx/vrx has been dispatched by Crazy Shopping Cart too...

I best start looking around for some circuits!

[g.collins]

O yes, going to get some practice with the circuits are we.  :+
I haven't received anything from HK yet, no messages.

[Pasty]

Damned right! :P

You need to find/create a circuit or two down your way G... we need a good selection of flying... we need permission to fly on the land remember.

No mails? did you go EMS postage?

All my gears on its way.... and I got tracking numbers to prove it...wooohooo! :D

hmmm time to decide on the colour scheme, I had considered camo so other racers cant see me very well.... then I thought I WANT people to see me shredding them up.... I'm going to have "loser"  written on my trailing egdes :D

parcel force, handling charges then.
:( G

[Pasty]

I told you the other day, parcel force always take EMS as its a courier service, doesnt always mean you'll get charged, thats only triggered if its stopped by customs and they want their cut.

If they deliver and ask for cash I'll make sure I have the parcels in hand, pay the customs fee then tell them to ram their handling fee where the sun dont sign as I never contracted into them "handling it" and have paid postage fees already.

With our race planes about to land on our door steps I thought i better think of a more catchy name for the series...

Flying on the most southerly point in the UK I thought South Point Races was ok.

[g.collins]

My ones hear, I cant believe, haw good these are for the cash, I will have a better look later after work. very exited.

[Pasty]
