After the twenty three minutes of footage they took of your aerial display, :wink: they could have done better than the two seconds of fame they gave you, :? but nice any how. :lol:
They had to broadcast the best looking crew members, as well as the best looking REAL aircraft ofcourse!!!
I actually know someone who was on TV. :mrgreen:

Are these jetplane models from your club, or just visiting. Unfortunately I had to leave early, therefore only seen the two smaller jetplanes in action. :cry: I would drive/fly very far in order to see the others in action. Maybe you can keep us informed where and when one can have the oppurtunity to see them in action.

It is absolutely awesome. Retractable under carriage, 400 kph. :shock: and the sound. :lol: :lol: (**) For those who missed it, make a plan to see them. You will not regret it. :mrgreen:

Did someone take a pic of the turbine helicopter? I forgot. ##
There might be some Jets in action this weekend, will get more details. One of our club members added a brand new F15 to his collection and is planning to maiden it on Sunday afternoon. If you guys want to fly in please use the dirt runways and watch out for models in the circuit.
Ldel, I send a copy of the Meyerton Ster featuring you and FO Gyro with him, he visited me yesterday, had an awesome flip in his MT03 :o thanks again Glenn !!!! !!!!
I’m adding a link to a video I took from the ground, quality not good though :? , amazing how it can hover in windy conditions :o :o , excellent display :mrgreen:

Can't think of a more enjoyable payment for the Ster. :lol:

Keep us posted. Ufortunately family commitments in Alberton. Will try and be there on wheels.

P.S. In the 1% chance of flying there - how do we approach the field. Presume there won't be any radio on the ground.

Hope to see you there... even if by car, Alberton is not far from us. If you decide to fly in, aproach and join overhead to the west of the field (west side of the tar road), no radio on the ground though. Inspect the circuit for model activity, sometimes the guys will cross your aproach path if using 01L dirt runway :!: , 19R or 10L/28R (dirt) should be no problem :)
