Don't gorget that Brighton is holding it's monthly fly-in on Telscombe Tye
this Sunday.

The Tye is 1/2 way between Brighton and Newhaven UK on the A259 about 4-5
miles from Brighton.

Look forward to seeing you if you can make it.

I think this is relating to the Xmas dinner planned for the Saturday when I
for one will be GORGE-ing myself with all I can shovel down my gullet.
Alcohol consumption to warp drive, Mr Mayweather !!!!
And do you like the name of the venue - quite appropriate !!

PS - Beam me up Scotty - I'm in the sh*t again !

I flew it for five minutes, a certain "Bat" had a go, it went bang, and we
spent the rest of the day in a gay bar in Rye.

Which was a result !

Sweet -- looks more like an Airbow derivative than a Rev (vendor's
description). Are those the flying handles underneath it in the pic?

BTW, nice price you paid!

Yes - those are the handles. I've flown it well once for ten minutes then a
mate pranged it, and badly for an afternoon when there was no wind.

Still tomorrow at Telscombe !! - see you there !!!!
