Woodstock Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 satinet said: I simply take issue with post flying BS (and outright lies), whatever you want to call it. Great if anyone has had a good time but don't always come back claiming things were done that blatantly weren't (e.g specced out a speedo, did a roll, flew within a mile of the slope edge etc.) My model is the best etc (always….). Seems especially daft when there are people who actually witnessed the flying. I don't know why some people feel the need do it, but hey ho, I'm the villain for pointing it out. We all like to see nice models flown on nice slopes. I think that we can all appreciate a successful maiden, especially with a large model. Better to keep the other stuff in check IMHO.Well said Tom . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Congrats on the ASW maiden . Its a bit unclear from the pics, but is the 'Pilot' you've installed who i think it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopeflyer Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks.I thought he was quite appropriate in this case. I will replace it now I know the plane is a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_B Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 didnt offend me Jimbo .....surprised maybe ..a touch left field ...why would you compare a 2 year old designed F3F racer with a 25 year old designed Scalie ......... But the 20 did fly very nicely and ceratinly doesnt look like some of the Vega's ive seen in the air ......youdnever have flown it though if we hadnt bullied you into it ........... So now you can take the bright red swiss flags off and the yellow stripes ...and it will look lovely....just needs a Gromit in it to finish off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopeflyer Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thats what I do. Save the best til last(can I use the word best?). The Swiss flags are staying. And the yellow. Pilot not.I know what you mean, f3f and big scalie. Chalk and cheese.Got my pass out booked for next week, westerlies/weather permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopeflyer Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) It was a good day out on the mynd today. Quite a few guys out, considering it was the middle of winter. Of note was Anthonys superb ASW15- 1/3.5 scalie(above).After some deliberation, it was also decided that my asw20 is a 1/3.75 not 1/4 as i thought since mine doesn't have the tips. Richie was also there with his P3. And thanks for taking some video of my 20 too. Edited January 11, 2012 by slopeflyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
