GLIDER DAY POSTPONED UNTIL 25/3

With predicted temperatures of 41 degrees or more at Belrose on Saturday afternoon 11th Feb, our noble competition director has wisely postponed the glider event.

The new date will be Saturday 25th March to allow for other events both at WRCS and at other clubs. 

December 2016 Aeromodeller from the UK had a free plan of a small autogyro included – gotta love a FREE plan! So I went to the field on Tue 27^th determined to fly my newly built Boddington designed twin rotor autogyro “Byrace”. I had fitted my .5cc Alex Phinn Compish diesel which is theoretically a bit powerful (plan recommends .3 - .4) but what the hell, you can always back off the compression!

There was a bit of a breeze and the “instructions” say point it into the wind, wait for the rotors to pin up, walk forward slowly and let it lift from your hand – don’t chuck it! I held it up and the rotors couldn’t be bothered to spin so the usual watching crowd suggested ROG.
