Hey all

The pink lady strutted her stuff this weekend.
She now boasts a new Pink T-Pod (with only an Altimeter and comms in).
Had Madman bring over some victims for a few flips and wow what a lot of fun we had.

The Pink Lady performed beautifully and even though the Wind was pumping a bit (20mph at times) she was well behaved and very stable.

Thanks Blue Max

Yea was very Marginal in the beginning and was very tempted to call it off but it all turned out fine in the end.
Damn that sun drops like a stone in the afternoons now.
But will be better prepared in the future.

Just for an added bonus http://youtu.be/UIRFwIQinNc

The Video Cam had slipped right till the end of the washout batton by this time and that is why she is vibrating so much.

Looked more like you were going to visit in China the way you dived at the runway. Felt very sick when you dissapeared behind the trees. But yes the WX was rough in the beginning there.

Your Family loved it s023.

Now to figure where that noise was coming from on my comms ## ## - i know it was wind noise but could not find the culprit mic.
