Autumn has arrived and the afternoon weather has been perfect for a spot of flying. We gave the West Wings Sapphire (in yellow) and West Wings Aries (in white and blue) for a quick spin. My 11 year old son took some photos and video of the occasion...

| ..hmm, will it fly? |

| ..shoved in some packing to reduce the lift! |
..after a lot of trimming, we got a short flight. I didn't want to over-wind the rubber as it was starting to show signs of ageing.
So, fortunately we didn't destroy any of the aircraft today which is always a bonus to some successful flying. Next time I'll equip the planes with some new rubber so I can crank up the winding to get some longer duration flights...
