120 Jeez it looked good in the air... this bird has got to fly not matter how long it takes.....not too much damage considering that it had actually turned 180 degrees and gone back onto the slope over the fence and cart-wheeled halfway down the top paddock. Gary MacDougal found it in the very long grass and I suppose I was lucky that missed “Hopper’s windmill” (You’ll have to ask him). Perhaps it might have been a snap roll instigated by too much aileron and a nose heavy C of G, but then perhaps not......I’ll never know. So lets get it all stuck back together, move the C of G back a bit, reduce those aileron throws a bit and give it another try. Next shot was again in a southerly but only 10 knots and this time I chucked it myself and again it went out and up as ordered and again it banked left, but this time headed straight for the road, fortunately it didn’t quite make it.... preferring the scruff grass and clumpy tussocks for its somersault but with twist this time, so that it could wrench its head off and deposit that church roof over the slope. BUMMA !!!!! All the pieces were collected, even the church roof was found thanks to Martin Hopper, and they were stuck back together, then more brown paper applied to cover the scars...maybe I’ll lighten the tail, maybe I’ll used a cheater fin, maybe, maybe, maybe..........Will it fly? .... Will the resident Camperdown eagle marmalise it? ..... Will there be any wind at Camperdown? .... Will it join Brian’s plane lodged up in a tree?... Who knows.....all will be revealed in the next thrilling edition of Aspectivity........ Scale at Jerilderie, Easter weekend (6-9 April) 2007 (the second time)
