Sauvetage avec Mouflage

Après avoir suivi la leçon de sauvetage d'une chute dans une crevasse, je m'entraine....
Ce qu'il faut retenir : 
  • Il faut avoir du matos : 
    • 2 mousquetons 
    • 2 cordelettes
  • Il faut savoir faire un noeud Prussik
  • Il faut réfléchir - ne pas laisser les mousquetons ouverts comme j'ai fait!

In these films and photos, you can see Spitfires, Tiger Moths, Hawker Hurricaines, a Bristol Blenheim, a Chinook doing amazing aerobatics, one of only two flight-worthy B-17s in the world, and a Big Wing of 17 Spitfires!

It was a once in a lifetime event and absolutely fantastic!

Techone Rafale Woes...

I've had a Techone Rafale for a while now.

It came damaged by the post and was a challenge to assemble. In particular the EDF unit was poor quality and I never managed to balance it properly.

Although it flies very well, is stable yet agile, I had a first crash leading to nose repairs.

Then the EDF unit started vibrating so strongly that I decided to replace it. So I took out poor quality Chinese junk and replaced it with slight better quality Chinese junk.

The Repair Log tells the story.

The photo album below illustrates.
